Winter, CA Style

Winter 

in

California

(especially in the Central Coast)

is

pretty 

amazing!

sunshine

...

so

much

sunshine

warm

days

and

cool 

evenings

December 29th, 2013

..

much

of

the nation

 cold   rainy   snowy

but

Morro Bay

(about 12 miles from SLO)

was 

a

crystal clear 73 degrees

Our

BFF's

Tami and Mike

called

and

said

"Hey!  Let's go boating in Morro Bay"

yeah!

We packed

up

a

couple

bottles

of

bubbles

(to celebrate Tami's birthday)

and

some 

munchies

and

rented 

this

adorable

8

passenger

boat

from

http://baycruisers.com/boat-rentals/

and spent

the next

few

 hours

cruising 

around 

Morro Bay

both

John and Mike

got

to

captain

for 

awhile

                                  aye aye, Matey

we

sipped

and

 nibbled

and

laughed 

at 

the 

barking

sea lions

basking in the sun

and

the

otters

frolicking

in and out of the water

and were

awed

by

the

sparkling beauty

of

the

December 

afternoon

Gratitude

C'est la Vie

…

travels

temptations

tastings

I

was

a

tad bit worried

that

you might

not

feel

at

HOME

with this new face

so

I am going to start

the

first

BLOG

of

C'est la Vie

with

drum roll………..

Fish Tacos!!!!

yup!

my

fish taco eating

partner in crime,

Barbara,

and I

scooted

to

Tognazzini's

DOCKSIDE

in

Morro Bay

literally

right

in front of

Morro rock

The Tognazzini's

are

a fishing family..

they

literally

catch

the

fish

that

they serve at

this dockside restaurant..

the halibut

was

fresh

"off the boat"

really!!!

the

family dog

greets

you

(he LOVES fish tacos, too)

your

dog is welcome

to join

you for

lunch in the patio,

as well

We

ordered

halibut tacos

the

fish

was

especially

DELICIOUS

..

grilled fresh

with

onions,

creamy something

and

a bit of red cabbage

in corn torts

hard to tell

how

perfectly

yummy

these tacos

are

this is the view from our

sun- filled

table

..

beautiful!

The

barbecued oysters

were being

ordered

by the dozens…

and were highly recommended….

so

I tried one.

an oyster

maybe

6 inches big

..

super yummy,

if you like

barbecued oysters!

The day

was

sunny

and cool…

busy

with

fishing village

sounds

and smells

Morro Bay!

p.s.

the

blue fin tuna

was just

in,

as well

(like sushi fresh!!)

I bought

a lb. -

we

"black and blued"

it for

dinner

later that evening

Oh, my…

Note:

bring your cooler and pick up

whatever is

fresh

and

bring

it home for

dinner
