Fire up the grill!


Traffic traffic everywhere and not a dollar to be found.....

Ok that is not exactly true. Ice cream, candy and doughnuts are HUGE here. It is the only thing I see people buying. They sure are not buying art. They all like to go on and on about how beautiful our gallery is and how much they like to come in. They always bring in their family and friends to look around.

Thank you all for the compliments, but, BUY SOMETHING. Compliments don't feed the westie.(we don't have a bulldog)

All of this in mind, it is time to announce the opening of "3364", our underground restaurant. It has been in the planning stages for 6 months and now is as good a time as any to give it a go.

The food around here is horrid and these folks all are definitely eaters. I have also begun the ground work for a new cafe here in town. Simple, elegant, and most important, DEEP FRIED.(not everything) Sorry back to 3364....

Opening night will be invite only for 8 guests whom we feel will spread the word and give us a running start. We will have "Culinary experiences" once a month to begin with just to see how it goes. We are unlicensed after all. $45.00 a head, in advance will get you the following. Along with one of the best ocean views in the county. (the photo is only part of the view)

Tonight we test the first menu.


So far we are thinking;

Yellow tomato gazpacho,

Individual nut crusted Brie with a spicy jelly drizzle and grilled squaw bread.

A small mixed green salad with some crushed cashews, mandarin orange slices and a light champagne vinaigrette

Rack of lamb,(rare to mid-rare at the most) stuffed with honey roasted garlic, just a touch of the spicy jelly drizzle from the Brie, with grilled asparagus tossed in the champagne vinaigrette,
and a few roasted red potatoes with seasoning.

And finally, a melon sorbet.

If anyone would like I will have Port available also.


We will see how it goes tonight. It sounds good on paper. Ms. Glaze, if you read this, I would love to have your input.
