As you can see, we take our cooking really seriously.

Adam and I hosted our first large-scale event with merged friend groups yesterday. It went off without a hitch - the rain even stopped for us. This platter Adam is holding definitely won the prize for best cooked oyster - you soak the oysters in an olive oil/salt/cilantro/vinegar base, then grill them in the shell, topped with a butter/ancho chile glaze. Yeah, they were pretty good.

We got the oysters - 150 of them - out at Tomales Bay Oyster Company. I can't wait to go back there on a sunny day - they have picnic tables and grills, so you can picnic right there at the source. It's out in Point Reyes, a little over an hour from Oakland.
