Giant Strawberry Cake...gotta love it.
It's strawberry season...in more ways than one. The Strawberry Festival is coming this weekend!

Anderson's Bakery on State Street
From their website:Start your day with any of Andersen's mouthwatering pastries—fresh out of the oven at 8:00AM every morning. We use approximately 2 tons of marzipan every year in these tasty delights. Try the traditionally Danish Kringle or Butter Ring, or maybe a warm apple strudel straight from the oven.

This is a new way to advertise....Fortune Cookies!
(probably costs a fortune to do, too!)

Storm walloped version!
Man...this is alot of rain coming down. I think that the Bay Area got slammed more than we have down on the Central Coast of California, but the first of the three estimated storm fronts is just beginning to calm down after an entire day of gusty winds and torrential rain.

It's getting near that time....Christmas Cookies!

Not just a great Valley...
but a shrine to human foresight, strength of granite, power of glaciers, the persistence of life, and the tranquility of the High Sierra.
Yosemite National Park, one of the first wilderness parks in the United States, is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1,200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, ancient giant sequoias, a vast wilderness area, and much more.

I "heart" Avocado Festival Version!
Mexi Fest Guacamole (last year's winning guacamole recipe)
A blend of fresh yellow chile and a mixture of fresh tomatoes, yellow (sweet) onion, cilantro with a splash of lemon juice combined with Haas avocado.
Dice Approx. 10 Yellow Chiles Finely
"Giving the Bronx Cheer...Horsie style"
(note the cute pink tongue hanging down!)
