Carmel Belle Pop-Up at La Mirada Coming Up!!

If you've been following me for awhile, you know my complete and utter adoration of pop-up dinners.

Seriously, take a great chef and host a dinner in a new venue, or at least a different kind of cuisine, and - voilà! - instant fun. We've met new friends, celebrated with old friends, had family date nights, and enjoyed romantic date nights at pop-ups all around the bay.


Last February, Jake and I went to the inaugural collaborative pop-up dinner between Carmel Belle and Monterey Museum of Art, La Mirada. It was The Perfect Friday Night. Here's a shot of Chef Kyle Odell serving a dish that evening.


Then, last September, Carmel Belle was back at the La Mirada; Jake and I went for their Autumn Pop-up. Here's a shot of the menu from that evening. I still think about that food!


I just heard that they are planning a new one and there are only a dozen tickets left.

Chef Kyle will be cooking up a seafood dinner inspired by the current exhibit at the La Mirada, Armin Hansen: The Artful Voyage.  They are sourcing the fish from H&H Seafood, a sustainable small boat fishery based in Santa Cruz.  The food will be paired with wines from Scheid Vineyards.   

If you're interested in food and art, take a look - purchase tickets here. It's next Tuesday, January 26th, from 6:30pm to 9pm. I'll be going. If you're local, join me!

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here. And there won't be a Twitter chat for this event, so you will have to dive into the articles themselves to read about our pairings and findings. Here's the line-up...

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting  Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of  All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
