LOL....obviously Patches missed me.

OB food: Spent a long weekend in Half Moon Bay, CA - ate at a
wonderful hole-in-the wall seafood place called Ketch Joanne's (17
Johnson Pier, Half Moon Bay, CA). The place is quaint with sea-related
decor and pub-like athmosphere - very clean and the staff was friendly
and helpful. Had Boston Clam Chowder that was thick, creamy, with
chunks of flavorful clams and potatoes, and a hint of something
smoky...Probably one of the best chowders I have ever eaten. Entree
was grilled seasoned prawns served with onions and mushrooms in a
shrimp-based sauce (almost like a soup) with rice pilaf and steamed
veggies on the side - these prawns were HUGE and prepared perfectly.
House salad is a mix of wonderful greens with tomatoes, beets, and
kidney beans - a delicious surprise. Portion size is fairly large, and
the prices are comparable to most places on the coast. DH had fish and
chips - which he said appeared to be cod and was very tasty. Sis had
fried prawns and reported that they were the best she had ever eaten.
The recent closure of Hwy 1 at Devil's Slide has been really hard on
the local businesses and restaurants on the coast. I am hoping they
can get the mudslide cleaned up soon and business can recover.
