shamrock potato chips?


This curiosity, found at the local British store, actually contains shamrock.

Sea Fresh revival


As a great way of kicking off her birthday month, Mrs. suggested going to Ojai's Sea Fresh - a place we tried once years ago and never went back. This time however was a winner: excellent fish tacos, slaw, clam chowder, grilled artichoke and fries. I admit I was hungry. Looking at the menu, we realized that this is a place that could get more play.

after the fumigation

Spotted Cucumber Beetle of 5/2/26


Attractive like a ladybug but considered an agricultural pest. There's around fifty crops and plants that they will gladly eat, but as their name indicates they prefer the cucumber family (Cucurbitaceae). At least they're a North American native.

This time the Banh Mi. Delicious!
