Hot Time at the Bailey Tract


Friday was on the cool side. High was only 65 but that is better than 6 degrees. We went to Bailey Tract for a walk but the area was closed. They did a controled burn there on Thursday but it looks as if the fire may have gotten out of control! Most of the tract including palm trees appeared charred. DDWR is closed on Friday so we checked out an eagle's nest near us but lighting was not conducive for photographing. We did spot a hawk who made a good subject for this photo.

Cooked in Friday night. Menu was broiled lamb chops with balsamic reduction sauce, Caesar salad and rice pilaf(my recipe). Yum yum!

Saturday night: Decided to go to Lazy Flamingo for an early dinner. Arrived there at 5:30...tables all full and people waiting but the bar was empty. So we sat in our "spot" at the bar. Started with cold oysters on the half shell and cold beers. Al ordered Caesar salad with blackened shrimp skewers (half order). I had seasoned hot peel n eat shrimp and half order fies. Finished with Key Lime pie.
