Sonoma County

Heather Irwin, food writer and fellow snarky redhead, from BiteClub Eats asks her readers to describe the perfect Sonoma County  layover.

“Outline a script for a Layover in Sonoma County. Trot out the really weird, funky stuff he’d see here. Suggest a dive bar spot for playing quarters with Doug Keane and Doug Richey (right?) while discussing the finer points of the foie gras ban. Where to get his hands dirty (I’m thinking Lou Preston would school him good). What other local food characters and shenanigans shall we put on display? Methinks a trip to Mark Maliki’s Casino might be in order? A little of Mateo’s hot sauce? A dive into the Hello Cello Limoncello vats? A trip to all of Guy’s favorite local DDD spots?”

Check out some of the comments for great off-the-beaten path activities to-do in Sonoma County and Enter to win Tickets for Anthony Bourdain’s upcoming show at the Wells Fargo Center on BiteClub Eats Santa Rosa.

I saw Anthony live a year and a half ago and was crying from laughing so hard… In addition, I left inspired.

Yeah, odd. A vegetarian leaving inspired after seeing Anthony Bourdain…. Hmmmm.

I will be planting my beer-drinking butt at the Russian River Brewing Company for the release of Pliny the Younger ALL day on Saturday, February 11th or else I might enter to win tickets.

Either way… Be on the lookout for my blog post about the “perfect day in Sonoma County” coming soon. Like I said. Bourdain has inspired me…

Food Truck Picnics at Spring Lake Regional Park

Spring Lake | Sonoma County | Santa Rosa I have made it a mission to start doing activities that are healthy for me (yes, I am SO very aware that I sound like a broken record) and two of those activities are blogging more and getting out more (in a non-drinking environment). The past few trips to Spring Lake have reminded me of how easy it is to stop complaining and simply just DO the things I have made excuses not to do in the past…. A new weekly step to getting myself to blog more often is simply to write about my favorite sights, smells, tastes, etc. so here it is….

Taste ~ Veggie tacos and mexican coke out of the bottle from La Texanita Food Truck.

Listen ~ Laughter from my friend Melissa and I as we walked the 2.3 miles around Spring Lake.

Smell ~ Blackberry bushes, clean air and freshly made tacos.

Sight ~ Many people walking around the river this week. Makes sense because the weather is a perfect 72 degrees.

Feel ~ Energized and clear. I also love that by purchasing food trucks I am donating to the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation to help support parks. For more details, please visit the Food Truck Picnics at Spring Lake Regional Park page.

Wish/Hope ~ I can make my lake walk a habit, for a minimum of once a week.

What has been on your mind this week?
