Fruits & Veggies

One of the wonderful things about our California neighborhood is the variety of fresh fruit and vegetables available year round. We love using fresh ingredients for our breakfasts. Here it is the the middle of winter and there is quite a bounty at our local Moss Landing fruit stand. The fruit stand is only a few blocks walk from the Captain's Inn and always has unusual items. We brought home: banana, dragon fruit, guyabas, cilantro, papaya, and black apricots (real yum). There are some local area strawberries and artichokes too. The dragon fruit was originally from Vietnam, the photo of the dragon fruit cut in half, and dragon fruit feels like kiwi with a much milder taste. Dragon fruit tasting slices ended up at the B&B breakfast.

Ladies at the Captain's Inn

A group of sisters and their daughters came to stay with us at the Captain's Inn last weekend. Besides chatting and giggling, they made themselves at home in Moss Landing. They explored our beaches, shopped the art galleries and antiques, and enjoyed the Elkhorn Slough Safari wildlife tour.
They also visitied many of our fine eateries and gave me this report:
At Mark's Moss Landing Cafe try the coconut prawns, steak and green fried tomatoes.
At Whole Enchilada have the chile rellenos and the MARGARITAS!
At Phil's Fish Market order the clam chowder and the linguini with clams.
At the Haute Enchilada do not miss the tres leche cake.
Their friendship and cheer will be welcomed back to the Inn anytime.
