No industry but Moderate Polution?

On the central coast of California we have cow, surfers and vineyards… but nothing that contributes to the gray skies and polution? So where is it all coming from!

local and state politicians want to tell you that it’s home grown polution and that it’s from cars, dune buggies and cow methane. If it’s gas it’s coming from Sacramento !

Schnitzels by any other name

over the years, I have loved pounding out meat to produce wonderful Schnitzels! Thin meat rolled in an egg mixture and then seasoned bread crumbs and finally fried! Typically, placed on egg noodles and covered in a yummy gravy with mushrooms!

pictured are three of the many Schnitzels we’ve enjoyed: a pork , a Bison and a Red Hartebeest I enjoyed in South Africa!!
