Seems as if you were near my in-laws who are in LaQuinta. San Diego is my favorite city on the <I>entire planet</I>, I fully intend to retire there but will move there sooner if I can scrape up the moola to do it right.<BR/><BR/>So now I must say it is a bummer to hear the tails were sub par at best! Regardless of the 17 hours you spent cooking them (lol) or the lack of sweetness I seriously hope that you & your Gardener had a marvelous dinner anyway simply because you spent it together :)CSD Faux Finishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947691876538206892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064649484877118244.post-3092930159367300662009-01-01T19:12:00.000-07:002009-01-01T19:12:00.000-07:00Karen, I'm sorry the lobster tails weren't excelle...Karen, I'm sorry the lobster tails weren't excellent. But could make a meal of your corn casserole and homemade bread (I remember you saying you got the book. I'm so happy :) -- I think you'll have lots of fun with it.)<BR/><BR/>I love the plates. So neat to have the history behind them, too. I recognized the name Barbara Worth, but never knew the full story so thanks for filling me in. Very interesting.<BR/><BR/>I didn't know you moved so recently from Imperial Valley. I left (my life-long home state), CA. 10 years ago next month. I miss some of it, but not other parts.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>I love the name Blossom, too. My father (late) had a terrific secretary/associate that we all loved, her name was Blossom. And many years before I was born my Grandfather had a small chain of florist shops in San Francisco named Blossom, too. That name really has special meaning to me. <BR/><BR/>I love coming to visit your blog and I look forward to enjoying more as the year unfolds.<BR/><BR/>All the best to you and your family in 2009 and beyond. xo~m.Mari @ Once Upon a Platehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16780341844995085098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7064649484877118244.post-87217460829876430972009-01-01T15:41:00.000-07:002009-01-01T15:41:00.000-07:00Hi Karen, I stumbled onto your blog for the first ...Hi Karen, I stumbled onto your blog for the first time today and I've enjoyed catching up on your past posts. Sorry the lobster didn't work out exactly perfectly, but the presentation looks amazing. <BR/><BR/>And nothing beats have some unexpected leftovers for another meal.
