This last weekend Bob's aunt celebrated her 80th birthday in style.
We were lucky enough to be invited.
Calistoga was the center of all the activities, most of which revolved around food.
Here is the quiche, smoked salmon and raw veggies, I served for picnic lunch on the drive up.
Here was the view from that picnic lunch at Land's End in SF.
We didn't eat here but I liked the sign...
We did eat here, on the main drag in Calistoga.
Carl and Marty enjoy a superb seafood chowder...
with tentacles.
Amazing Asian salad with avo.
Another great salad...
This was a seafood cocktail.
We were too busy eating out main courses to document them.
I shared the slow roasted pork ribs with Bob, they were to die for, very moist and flavorful !!
The next morning after watching some members of our crew floating about...
we had a champagne brunch at Solage resort.
This was some kind of huevos ranchos spin-off.
I enjoyed this cute version of pain perdu ( French toast) with a creme anglaise dipping sauce.
Tra vigne was our dinner destination in St. Helena.
Freshly made mozzarella was one of the appetizers.
This was some of the best grilled steak I have ever eaten !!
A flounder.
Pork tenderloin.
To top it all off The Birthday Cake !!
With a yummy orange layer and caramel cream cheese frosting, all homemade by two of the guest !!
