Nice! I like cold bevies in the morning half the year so I do the canned ones, although it isn't cost effective when compared to buying loose or bagged yerba mate. But I do like NUMI teas for winter :)

lunch...nothing like a hot reuben for hitting the spot...then it's back to wrenching on the camaro...

LEGGET'S PEG HOUSE AND MOOKIE RECIPE
Driving North on Highway 101 in search of a spot to connect with one of California’s most beautiful redwood forests also places you on the direct path to The Peg House in Mendocino County. The casual sandwich and salad outpost in Leggett, California has been owned by Diana Ballard-Doll and Gary Ballard for the past eight years. The Peg House, loved for its quirky interior, diverse menu and colorful service, turns up the heat a notch during summer months when live bands perform in its redwood patio and fresh oysters are hand delivered from the coast, weekly.

Directly across the street from The Peg House is the entrance to the Standish Hickey State Recreation Area. Thanks to a group of energized locals, the park was reopened last July after a March closure due to state budget cuts. “Team Standish” worked with the Mendocino Area Parks Association (MAPA) to raise money and come up with a maintenance plan to keep the park open. “It was, and continues to be, important to us that this incredible park was available to us as citizens,” says Ballard. “We had the opportunity to come together as the residents of Leggett and we wanted to be sure that the ideals of public access were honored and respected.” Diana Ballard-Doll, chef and chief bottle washer at The Peg House, adds, “People have been coming to visit Standish Hickey for nearly 100 years. We have met families who bring five generations along to visit the park. They sit out on the patio together, enjoying the music and the view. And, the park has the best swimming hole, right on a black sand beach.” Team Standish and MAPA are working to open another campground within the park. For information on donating to their cause, visit. Standish Hickey has over ten miles of hiking trails through old-growth redwoods that intersect the wild and scenic Eel River. One of the few virgin redwood stands remaining can be found on the Grove Trail. Standish Hickey is located three hours north of San Francisco on Highway 101, an easy drive fromnearby accommodations.



MOOKIES (IS IT A MUFFIN? IS IT A COOKIE?)
1 c softened margarine
1.5 c brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
3 cups oats
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ t baking powder
½ cup coconut
½ c raisins

Mix butter and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, and beat well. Separately, combine oats, flour, salt and baking powder. Stir into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in coconut and raisins.

Pack into a 4 oz ice cream coop and scrape dough level with the rim. Drop onto parchment paper-covered cookie sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes at 350. Until edges are golden brown. Makes 31 mookies.

great lookin recipe baba, I'll surely try it but sans the margarine...my body won't take that but I'll use a butter/olive oil combo...this is what this thread is for, to let us share what makes us smile...a place to vert...a sharing place it you will...before my wife died we took 5 trips to the redwood empire on the scooter...flew into san fran and rode up to fort brooking...spent many a night in garberville at the sherwood forest motel...I love that town...always waiting for the next grateful dead concert to let out...

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.

did you know that margarine can sit outdoors and insects won't eat it...whadda they know we don't I wonder...

Im pretty sure, Baba G doesnt eat Margarine

dunno but the first ingredient on the mookies got me wonderin...and go figure, my chickens have decided to moult again...thay's twice in 3 months...

You guys should check out Cafe Bustelo. It comes in a bright yellow can, only $4 for a 12 oz. can at walmart is the only place I can find it here. It's a cuban style espresso roast and works great in a french press. Really strong, pretty damn high quality for the price. Better than starbucks thats for sure.

bustello is good stuff...where I live is the largest cuban population outside of cuba and those folks know how to make coffee...I prefer seattles finest...I believe the mermaid sells is at a huge discount...half the prive of premium...mebbe 6 bucks for a 12 oz. bag...ever notice the bastages shrink the package before they cut the price...

Boo you can replace butter for margarine in babas mookie recipe,thats what i do.Ive been macking them since he posted the recipe,I tried adding chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips and that works well too!couldnt get one of my favorite pairs of pants buttoned today:hungry:...
