California Beatitudes, No. 7: Eupicurean Hosts
Before we rose for our first California breakfast, dear friend and house host Paul Talley had already prepared quail eggs stuffed with wild mushrooms resting in tiny prosciutto nests, complemented by cubes of fresh Mexican papaya, triangles of multigrain toast and coolers of tangy guayabera juice.
Our Marin Headlands picnic lunch later that day consisted of feta-infused chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and couscous, Caprese salad with garden-grown tomatoes, homemade pita chips, dolmas, thin slices of soujuk (a dried beef sausage), Greek olives, finished off with rounds of Turkish Delight, baklava and figs dipped in Scharffen Berger chocolate, all flooded with West Coast Viognier.

After reading this post, I too hunger and thirst to indulge in this brilliantly pigmented, geometric and uncustomary Californian breakfast followed by the luscious Mediterranean-inspired feast of exotic delights served by Talley.

Blessed is an airplane to California, for I will be on it soon to quiet my boisterous stomach.
