Arch Rock Fish Photo Shoot

A new restaurant recently opened up
in downtown Santa Barabara, called Arch Rock Fish.

Santa Barbara is known for their fresh seafood,
but surprisingly there are not too many restaurants in the city
that are known to serve fresh, local and seasonal seafood.
So this neighborhood joint is the place to go.

To the left is everybody's favorite,
Clam Chowder with Smoked Bacon, Potatoes and Cream.
Lobster Bisque is very simple and tasty,
and goes so well with oyster crackers.

Kitchen Osumi

I love it when we have company at the house for dinner,
because my mom usually makes a full meal,
usually consisting of 5-6 courses followed by dessert.
And even after feasting, you wouldn't feel as guilty
because it is very fresh and healthy and refreshing.

Here are a few of the dishes that she had made recently:
Left: Minced Shrimp and Chives Baked on top of Renkon Lotus Root
Right: Okra and Shrimp Gelatinized in Dashi Broth sided with Wasabi Sauce

Left: Salmon Crudo with Avocado topped with Sweet Maui Onions
Right: Garlic Scallop and Fresh Arugula Salad

Bon Appétit!!

Wine Tasting in Santa Barbara

A great place to spend a sunny, breezy and relaxing
Saturday afternoon is along the
Foxen Canyon Wine Trail in Santa Barbara.

One winery I highly recommend is called Foxen Winery.
They are mainly known for their Pinots,
and most of them are rated above 90 points.

After wine tasting, don't forget to stop by Arigato on State St. for fresh sushi,
and McConnel's Ice Cream for the best mint chip ice cream, ever.

Swirl of Milk and Chocolate Milk.
I just noticed that it looks like a person is
dancing in the foreground.
I love how every shot is so unique and interesting.
