About Santa Barbara County, CA

Last Tuesday, we decided to check out Tupelo's restaurant. We had noticed it last Sunday on our jaunt through town and they had a long line. The folks in liine told us that it was worth the wait, and breakfast and lunch were great there.

So, we stopped in and had a great lunch. The food combines Southern cooking with California fresh. The restaurant is run by two sisters. One of the sisters studied culinary art in the South, so her influence is felt with fried green tomatoes and fried pickles. There are biscuits of course, fried chicken and waffles with chicken. The California influence is felt in the lovely salads. The decor is country, pleasant and is simple. The service was great, and we are looking forward to our next visit.

Happy Sunday, Cheers Ron & Alexandra

This morning a new sign greeted us at the Farmers Market. It read "SHRIMP TODAY"! At $5 a pound they are irresistible. Our weekend guest will be delighted with our dinner menu as will our cats who will be watching every move as we peel these delectable beauties, (don't worry, we will share and that is wyhy we buy an extra 1/2 pound for them.)

Most shrimp sold today comes in frozen. In October, shrimping season begins in Santa Barbara and lasts for a few months. The shrimp come from the clear and clean waters of the Santa Barbara Channel. They are now plentiful, so that we can share them with our dolphins who can easily go through 80 lbs a day...

They are very tasty, and easy to cook, 3 minutes in boiling water! They do not need any seasoning, drawn butter or our favorite which is a spicy soy dipping sauce with a couple jalapenos floating in to give that extra quick!

HAPPY SATURDAY, CHEERS RON & ALEXANDRA
