B&B 2nd Anniversary Party

B&B Quality Market's 2nd Anniversary Party. I remember this place as a kid;  it was a low rent bodega with dusty products. Then a young couple bought it and turned it into a really nice corner market. Quality wine and beer, fresh soup and sandwich's, local organic ribeye and fresh local produce.

Stuffed Bananas

It's not the most original, but a stuffed grilled or baked banana is quite delicious. Chocolate, mango, peach, nuts, cheese, or any sort of combination makes a delicious dessert or snack. Soft, warm banana with melted chocolate and shaved almonds....mmmmmm..

Thriftway's Stuffed Pork Chops

I do prefer Safeway's butcher, but Thrifway does make the best stuffed pork chop. (And to order!)

Jimmy Buffet Party

A work sponsored Jimmy Buffet party at Karmadillo's. Margaritas and beer for all!


That's right. PRIVATE PARTY.


Aimee was not pleased when I tried to eat some of her food.


Justin slathering up (or down) the ribs in Karmadillos' own BBQ sauce.


And it's not Karmadillo's without a BBQ beef sandwich with cheese and coleslaw!


My second plate: A couple ribs, baked beans and a fantastic Blue Cheese, Bacon Potato Salad.

And several beers.


Justin, owner and proprietor of Karmadillo's and our evenings grill cook. Awesome fella.


The Karmadillo's kitchen. Usually they have a few more people working. These kids were just cleaning up after our party.

And a quick shot I got on my way home with my little Cannon G9. I liked it.
