thirtyfour years of life

I celebrated my birthday this year at the wonderful Mankas with Kaia and Jersey. We stayed in the Sweet and Jersey had the chef make dinner for us on our arrival.
We ate braised pork belly with homemade sauasages, kale and parsnips.

Dessert was creme fraiche cheesecake with rum raisins and chocolate brittle.

In the morning we had a trio of West Marin cheeses, honeyed walnuts, and cream biscuits.


In Pt Reyes we saw this that reminded me of Dan McCarthy's art.

Then we met up with Tashen, Suzy, Damon, and Matt at Hog Island.



We took Kaia to see the elephant seals.



Jersey and I jammed all night and the next morning we had apple cake, homemade yogurt and granola for breakfast.

It was a perfect birthday. Thank you for all my birthday wishes.
