Bistro Don Giovanni
Here we are
It's time for another local take-away meal: octopus salad, beet salad, and several pizzas (spinach/mozzarella/ricotta/squash blossom/lemon, pepperoni/red onion/fennel, four cheese) from The Food Shed in Napa, that we bring home with us for dinner (and some of their fresh burrata for consumption later).

We follow this great dish with a take-away from the Thai Noodle House in Alameda: red duck curry, spicy cashew chicken, and pad kee mau (with beef).

Later, its more fish: grilled halibut with a three bean salad and another tomato/burrata salad.

For a real treat, we head across the bay to New England Lobster Market and Eatery for fresh lobsters (lobster rolls for lunch and several to pick for a dinner).
Lunch, diner preparation
We make a lobster corn chowder by removing the lobster meat and cooking it with fresh corn off the cob, onion, potatoes, and celery, in a stock of sherry, paprika, milk, cream, wine, and the lobster shells and corn cobs. What a feast!

We've enjoyed cooking all these meals and sharing the picture, bringing back many great taste memories as we write. We're looking forward to many more, some from these favorites and others yet to be discovered.
