May 9, 2015 Breakfast – Shrimp and Crab omelet   Lunch – Chris’ Café, Santa Fe and Dinner – Baked Acorn Squash

We started at 6:00 this morning, so we could get to Stephens' by 9:00 for the Opening of its Semi-Annual Sale.  We wanted to make an omelet with the PPI crab and shrimp Unfortunately, I used an old piece of brie that gave the entire omelet a rather ammoniated flavor that ruined the flavor of the omelet.

We then went to Stephen’s sale and Suzette bought a gate for the east side of the garden.  I bought a lovely orange kimono for Suzette’s Mother’s Day present, a fish plate, and a Carl Von Hassler water color of the Grand Canyon.

We met Josefo and Davida at Stephen’s sale and they invited us to join them for lunch at Chris’ Cafe at 3568 Cerrillos Dr..  Suzette and I both ordered the chicken enchiladas with Ever Ever Sauce and red and green chili. The ever ever sauce is combination of sour cream and mayonnaise and not so fantastic. Josefo and Davida ordered steak and eggs. Chris’ serves Harris beef.  They loved their steak and eggs.

We then visited Josefo and Davida’s new home in La Lagunitas, which has a wonderful view of a pond in La Cienega and is a rambling 5000 sq. foot house with high viga ceilings.  At around 2:30 we drove home and took a nap.

I got up at 5:30 and baked three acorn squashes after filling the cavity of each half with 1 tsp. of butter and 2 to 3 tsps. of brown sugar.  I also baked four or five potatoes.  Neither of us was hungry or wanted to cook, so we ate warm baked acorn squash for dinner. 

At 10:00 I made chocolate chip cookies with dried cherries and roasted hazelnuts.
