We’ve still got a little bit of summer left here in Sacramento, but the season’s on its way out. I didn’t spend an awful lot of time dreaming up new recipes over the past couple months. Maybe it has something to do with wanting to stay as far away from the hottest room in our house (the kitchen) as possible. But just because I haven’t been cooking too much doesn’t mean I’ve been withering away for lack of a delicious meal.
So, with that, I’d like to share some summertime snapshots.
Kobe beef tartare with dijon mustard, capers, shallots, garlic and toast points at Chez Papa Resto, San Francisco
Chris and I both got some good mileage out of our beach cruisers over the past couple months. One of our more adventurous rides was a 20-plus-mile trek up to Folsom by way of the American River Trail. Our final destination? Samuel Horne’s Tavern for celebratory burgers and beers. Here’s the Tavern Turkey Burger with pepper jack cheese and serrano aioli
Chris had the Johnny Cash burger with bacon, cheddar, onions and a bourbon-espresso red-eye sauce
Mountain Nachos, Tahoe Mountain Brewing Company, Tahoe City
Too many good beers at Mellow Fellow Gastropub, Crystal Bay
Bakers Benedict (sausage patties and poached eggs atop a toasted English muffin, topped with Hollandaise sauce) from the Fire Sign Cafe, Tahoe City
Macarons, like these lovelies from Estelle’s Patisserie, always make me think of “Alice in Wonderland.”
