ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
On one of our menu strolls, we happened by Axiote Restaurant where we saw a sign advertising a special dinner created and prepared by Rick Bayless, Cecy Gonzalez, and Xavier Pérez Stone. We paid for the dinner on the spot and looked forward to another unforgettable night of our roving retirement.
When I first started going to California Wine Country (at that time, mostly Napa Valley), you could still taste wine for free and good, inexpensive bottles were available for purchase onsite.
Momos are a new favorite for us from our visit to Nepal, so I was delighted to find a couple of Bay Area restaurants serving them. But, some first-hand experience was needed to compare the Bay Area offerings.
Sparkling wine has always been one of Diana’s favorite beverages, but it can be pricey. Thanks to our sommelier friend, we learned about a great, reasonably priced alternative to French Champagne.
We were NOT disappointed in the Indian food we had in India! Sampling many dishes at various Indian restaurants in the Bay Area gave us a baseline, but the food here in India is better.
