Road Trip 499.66 miles

Last Friday TDH, the Frenchies and I drove from La Jolla to Half Moon Bay with a quick stop in Santa Cruz along the way.  We woke up at 4am and finished dinner at 11:30pm.  It was an epic travel day!  Percy and Nacho were troopers while healthy snacks and the rare curly fry kept us awake.  Here's a few pictures and dance party videos from the trip. 

Color Story - Pillar Point Harbor, Half Moon Bay

I found a lovely color palette at Pillar Point Harbor this weekend.  Happy Monday. 

The Barnacle

If you find yourself in Boston this summer head to Marblehead for the tastiest lobster rolls at The Barnacle.  The wait can be long but is worth it to sit outside.  Wander the adorable town, fall in love with the locals backyard flowers and breathtaking views.  

Fijian Recipe: Kokoda

Day 2 in Fiji on the island of Qamea.
The cuisine so far has been unbelievable. Even the breakfast is tasty! (I tend to loathe breakfast.) Today's lunch starts with Kokoda. Fiji's version of ceviche. Enjoy.

Kokoda
- bite size chunks of (raw) fresh fish. firm white fish or tuna is best.
- marinate in lime or lemon juice for about 2 hours and strain it.
- combine fish with 'lolo' juice from a freshly grated coconut. or canned coconut milk (unsweetened).
- add 1 small chopped onion
- add 2 medium chopped tomatoes
- add 1/2 chopped red bell pepper
- salt to taste
- as much chili as you can handle (red pepper flakes, red chili paste or siracha)

- Tip: you can make ahead for a night of entertaining or surprise your roomie or better half.

Time to scoot, I have a hot date with TDH paddle boarding. He's hooked!
