Tonight we finally redeemed the Groupons we purchased as a present for J’s mom’s birthday {her birthday was September 1st...just a few months late}; a cooking class at Café Merlot, located in the Bernardo Winery. The theme was all about seafood and buttery chardonnays, which is perfect if you are a fan of seafood and aren’t banned from drinking. But despite the fact that I couldn’t partake in all of the food and beverage, it was still a great time with J’s folks and we cooked some bomb mussels {probably has something to do with the pound of butter we added to the pot!}.
I didn’t actually try the mussels since I am afraid of all slimy foods, but they were a hit. I did, however, very much enjoy the fried calamari, shrimp and corn chowder, and cracker assortment J And the highlight of the evening {for me} was meeting the owner of the Mira Mesa Chic-Fil-A…love that place! She hooked me up with some free food, so I left this evening one happy camper…well, if there is such thing as a happy camper J
Oh, and highlight #2 was J downing some wine from the Chardonnay box. JK...we did use the boxed wine in the mussels, but they actually served some pretty delicious wines...I mean, so I heard
