we went down to cambria for the weekend with the gang. we had rented the perfect house - it had a huge fridge that i think Leena wanted to climb into, a pool table, a gorgeous garden, and truly spectacular views of the ocean... we got there friday night and didn't do much - sat around, drank beers, and just caught up. i was suffering from just about the worst allergy attack i've ever had so i was happy to have a low-key evening.
saturday was spent wine tasting in paso robles. i lost count of how many wineries we visited - i just know that i came home with some delicious new wines! i thought i loved sonoma, but this place was great - each winery gave us 10+ tastings! no wonder i don't remember how many we visited! saturday night we ordered mexican takeout from Medusa's (but Dumma and Sri decided to go to some other Mexican restaurant, and were annoyed when the place claimed that we never called in an order...So Dumma and Sri had to "Re"-order. Medusa's must have been less than thrilled that no one showed up to claim the 12 tacos, 2 quesadillas, and 4 orders of rice and beans! After all the confusion was abated, we chowed down on some tacos (from the other restaurant!) while playing pool and sipping beers. we were determined to stay awake till at least 1am. mission accomplished.....barely....
sunday morning the husbands took care of all the cooking and made a fabulous brunch. it was a fantastic spread. everything was delicious, and...we learned from chethan that dicing an onion is an artform. We stuffed ourselves with fruits, dumma's famous french toast, naveen's gourmet pancakes, amit's double-secret recipe omlettes, etc... around 1pm we loaded up the cars and headed back home. a wonderfully relaxing weekend...on tuesday, amit and i are off to France for about 12 days!! i'll try to blog daily from there so stay tuned in for the updates!
