Back in the saddle...

after being gone for a few days to California's Central Coast. The city of Santa Maria, California, has been getting journalists from around the world lately because of Jacko's court appearances. You should make it a destination, not for the sensationalism, but for the Santa Maria style barbecue. It's really a very simple process: Take a tri-tip section of beef, season it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Then grill it over hot coals of red oak. Lace it with pinquito beans, salsa, and a salad and that's it! If that's too much trouble, then head out towards the farmland town of Guadalupe and have dinner served to you at the Far West Tavern. We had a great time touring Mission Life Day at La Purisima Mission near Lompoc, as well as tidepooling at Montana de Oro State Beach near Morro Bay. All in all, a very restful getaway...
