Three Foods Cafe

Three Foods café is some place I have been wanting to try.
They have a great menu but is hard to find on their web site its like random clicking but worth finding.

If your going to go.. get reservations, it isn’t dressy or really pricey but is popular..

We were going to have the Crab Flautas ( aka #63) but they have a new fixed price meals which is a glass of house wine and an appetizer, entrée and dessert. There are currently 5 fixed meals.

I got the Open Sesame…

Appetizer -Egyptian Spices and hummus with pita and cucumber (aka Black and white on regular menu)



I don't usually like hummus but I wanted this meal, it was a very tasty hummus.

Entrée-Algerian chicken tangine with cracked green olives, lemon zest, honey and spices over couscous ( aka Little Prince on regular menus).


These flavors were well balanced esp as I had some hummus left. The dish was just right with the honey and spices.

Dessert-dates grilled to carmelization served with a dollop of Chevre Cream ( aka need we say more on menu)



The dates went great and I felt the Creme did too but some might want to pass on the creme if you don't like strong flavors after the whole meal.

Ok mom got

Mon Petite Amore ( Of course I had to sample it)

Appetizer-Cheese Raviolis deep fried and served with a zesty tomato dip. ( aka new kids on the block).



The sauce made these a bit differnt.

Entrée- Linguini smothered in blue cheese sauce with chicken chard and grape tomatoes with walnuts and bread. ( AKA the usual suspects on menu).

This was good but very rich.

Dessert- Deconstructed almond crème tart served cold with hot caramelized almonds and warm puff paste . ( aka bella)



This was a great deconstructed almond tart, the textures were the best.

There were local wines good for the inclusion in the meal but you can up grade for 2$. Also if you go at happy hour some wines are almost half off.

This place is the best kept secret in Arcata food!

The people are really friendly and want to help you have an awesome food experience, it is very relaxing atmosphere and your peering at the neighbors table to see what delightful bites they too have ordered.

Your Check comes in this nice little box

They have outdoor seating and plus you can see this great mural…

Roses, Arcata Scoop

So after the excitement of the night before. Mom and I went to the farmers market. I took Sherri her long awaited knitting ceramic chicken……

Then we bought roses

I went to the new Ice Cream place called Arcata Scoop (twitter).

I got a Vanilla honey Lavender it was nice.

Then I put together the Entertainment center which took all day and the chickens had to watch through the window. I love them, I think they enjoy people watching or their people TV... Totally Funny.
But this thing took most of my afternoon who knows why?

Then to thank me mom took me to dinner but that will be the next post.

Crabs Game

So After the hunt of hunts for furniture for the new house … We got some thingys


moms 50$ spinning chair.. Nice.

Then I went to my first ever Humboldt Crabs game…


Balls hit cars....

There was peanuts and beer I loved it.

Silkworms on seashells?

There are some things in life I know. My mom is one of them, I just know we are a little bit… Odd.

So When I woke up, and was walking around the house looking for my mom, in my PJS, I wasn’t at all surprised to see Silkworms all over the floor of the living room. But I was Surprised to find silk worms on sea shells and my ceramics cups… The search for mom and the coffee continued. But I was a bit perplexed to see about three piles of various stuff around with silkworms spinning.

I just shake my head and try not to step on the worm on the floor while looking for mom and a cup of joe.

My day was made all the better by this

And even better by the fact that a lady at work gave me this.
