Ernie joined me on a little day trip up to Bodega Bay yesterday. He patiently climbed trees and played in a ditch while I attended to a photo shoot. He was rewarded with this ear of grilled corn and proceeded to entertain the crowd with crazy antics like this.
By the time we headed home we were starving, because an ear of corn only fills a person up so much and as any food writer knows, there is oddly no food to eat at food photo shoots. By the time everyone is done shooting the food it is old and sad and you’ve been looking at it for way too long to find it even remotely appetizing. Funny, huh?
So E and I stopped off at The Boat House in Bodega Bay for fish-and-chips (except we substituted onion rings for the chips) and some bbq oysters. We waited a long time for the oysters. We had fully finished the fish and were sitting and waiting for some time when the runner finally came out with our platter of oysters. He put them on the table and said, “they’re a bit crispy, but they’re still good.”
What? Are you kidding me? Are you seriously serving me overcooked oysters? On purpose? Even the lovely deck setting and brightly shining sun couldn’t make up for that. We each tried one and decided to head home. The idea of waiting for more of the same was just too much.
