Wednesday, 11/3
Cloudy but dry morning. Rain started around cocktail hour, so drinks were indoors. Not much to report today.
We got our walks in under cloudy skies. We decided to have lunch at our favorite lunch spot, Local Oceans. Alas, we discovered that Local Oceans is closed for the week for staff vacations. Nice concept. So, we went to a new restaurant with good reviews: Pacific Kitchen at Nye Beach. It’s a winner! It will be added to our select list along with Local Oceans and Tidal Raves.
We split calamari for an appetizer; I added two oyster shooters to mine. For the main Elaine had Seafood Louie (Northwest Dungeness crab and local Newport Bay shrimp tossed in thousand island dressing on a bed of chopped romaine, cucumber, hard-boiled egg, tomatoes, and red onion). I had Fisherman’s Stew (Clams, NW fish, prawns, calamari and fresh herbs simmered in a zesty tomato broth, served with garlic toast). The broth alone would have been fantastic.
Crackers and Blue Heron brie for dinner. Season three of The Sinners underway. Heavy rain and 60 mph winds forecast for tonight.
Elaine’s salad sounded terrific and pucs if both entrees made me foaming at the mouth!!!
Yum, today’s lunch looked great. Enjoy that cool. We’re still have 90s here, though the mornings are cool.
Lunches at Pacific Kitchen look scrumptious. How’s that Portland mustard? Better than French’s, I would guess! Very interesting statue outside the restaurant.
I hope you survived last night’s rain and wind. Hoping you get better weather soon.
