at the BUCK 'n RUN RANCH
I had nothing planned for dinner but a package of frozen jumbo shrimp inspired me. I decided to make a spicy Thai dish with lemongrass rice. I didn’t find any recipes online that matched the ingredients I had on hand. So I set about creating my own. I loved it! Michael felt it was too [...]
This is my version of a sandwich Michael and I have enjoyed at the Cliff House in San Francisco. It consists of Dungeness crab on an English muffin with melted cheese. I buy the small plastic tubs of Dungeness crab meat in the seafood department at my local grocer. I have tried the lump crab, [...]
I have been trying to make this dish for several nights now and finally got the chance. We have been so busy building the screen room that I was too lazy to cook by the time we have stopped in the evening. Today all we did was wrangle pigs so it was a walk in [...]
In Sacramento, CA there is a restaurant called Scott’s Seafood Bar and Grill with several locations. Two homes ago, we lived just around the corner from the Folsom location and dined there frequently. Scott’s is a wonderful restaurant and if you are ever in the Sacramento area you must try it. I highly recommend the [...]
I love clam chowder. My favorite clam chowder is made at The Tides Wharf in Bodega Bay, CA. They have a seafood market in front of the restaurant where you can buy their clam chowder in big Styrofoam containers to take back to your room to eat.

I made these for dinner tonight and they were excellent. The beer batter was great and the chipotle tartar sauce could be eaten with a spoon. If you have a keen eye you will notice that is lettuce, not cabbage. Somehow my bag of angel hair shredded cabbage didn’t make it home with me from [...]
Watching an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives on Food Network turned us on to the Oyster Po’ Boy. I found the recipe online and it called for 36 ingredients! Thirty six. That wasn’t going to happen so I decided to make my own less complicated sandwich. [...]
My son and his family are visiting from Palm Springs. My grandson Buddy loves crab and shrimp so we try to make a New England Boiled Supper when he visits. Buddy and I shopped for ingredients today and I made the dish for dinner. As always, it was very good. Here’s what you are [...]
I find inspiration in many places. I went to the grocery store this morning to look for pickling cucumbers. In the produce department I spotted mangoes and they were two for one dollar, and they were ripe! I grabbed two and started thinking about how I would use them. By the time I got to [...]
