Thanks for sharing your trip.The pic's are killer,especially when you remember that it can never be as good as the real thing. It has brought back many beautiful memories. I would really enjoy cooking or sharing one of my dishes with the locals,it would feel good to give back. Stayed @ half moon bay a long time ago,was great.They couldn't figure out why it was called half moon bay.If you snorkel there,one can figure out why it is so named. Driving on your own is fun.Took many backroad trips on a rental motorcycle.The scenery was spectacular and on the m/c you can smell things and are in touch with your surroundings.(And easier to dodge the potholes.) It felt safer than a drive in Minneapolis. Everybodies food reports are driving me nuts,so I made jerk chicken with rice and beans with the spices That we picked up. Which inspired me to make a Jamaican style soup. Jerk chicken soup with red beans and rice.Mention to the Jamaican chef's that's what ya do with the left overs(I am so midwestern!) As I look out at my snow covered back yard,I ground up the last of my coffee beans,topped it off with some rum cream and kept reading the great reports. Thanks everybody!!!
