Nickey Does a Willie's Pot

Monday June 7, 2010 ~ 71.7 degrees Eureka, CA

Move over Red Lobster, here comes "Allegro Bus Bay". When on the coast (whether it be east or west) eat like you're at the coast is our philosophy!! We just finished up supper; a Willie's Pot. For those of you that aren't familiar with this messy but fine dish, it's crab legs, shrimp, corn on the cob, carrots & other select goodies. Way too good & I know the neighbors were envious; we had the windows open & the Eureka Bay breeze carried the aroma right across the "resort".

Well, as you all know, Nick is with us on this journey & he's been kind'a skiddish this time around. BUT, not to say that he doesn't have a "spirit" of adventure for he has done lots of firsts. One I will share now & the others I'll save for another segment. Well, I was washing dishes (excuse me, loading them in the dishwasher) then.....................looked over my shoulder & ................low & behold Nick was EATING out of the trash can (that's SO out of character for him)!! He evidently wanted what we were having for supper so I made him up a dish of his own (see the pic).

You know, there's something about the Northern part of California. I don't know if it's the altitude, the overcast skies & lake of sunshine, the ocean breeze, the barometric pressure or whatever but the peeps here are so "mellow" (hummmhh, could it be the strictly medicinal marijuana that's so abundantly available). Anyway, point is, I guess strange things make people do different things but in Nickey's case I'll attribute it to everything but the local "herbs". I'm just glad to see him come out of his shell.

Best to all, holla' later!!
