Dine For a Change

Just for a night... get away in your own home. I surprised my sweetheart by turning the guest room into a romantic candlelit dining room. Set off the deck, the forgotten spot became an elegant cafe: with music (his choice), delicious wine, Grilled Alaskan Hallibit from the local Fish Market (lightly... Sign in to see full entry.

What a way to start the day!

California Sunshine and a refreshing ocean breaze fills the Summerland beach Cafe today! I just downed a delicious omlette and a couple cups of coffee from the Santa Barbara Roating Company (served up fresh with bottomless refills and free wireless internet!).
