1 for 2 on local recommendations...

So, we got two recommendations on local joints -- the first for Chinese and the second for coffee/breakfast.

The Chinese joint, called Chinatown -- as in "I'll take you down to Chinatown" -- is on Kentucky Street in the heart of downtown P'luma.

We ordered some shrimp chow mein, potstickers, orange chicken and sauteed spinach. While the potstickers were good, the rest of it was drowned in cooking oil -- such that if have a biodiesel in need of a fillup, this is could be your spot.

We'll try it again, but order carefully.

Our second local pick, the Tea Room Cafe, was much more successful. This is a coffee/tea house that serves breakfast and lunch/brunch-y stuff. We went on this most recent warm Saturday morning, and it is a warm and inviting space, and was plenty busy. We ordered breakfast and grabbed a seat outside to enjoy the morning sun. Jen had some potato cakes (kind of a pancake made of mashed potatoes) with a side of bacon, and I enjoyed some banana-pecan pancakes. Both yummy, and sustenance enough to see us through out shopping trip to the Saks outlet....

It seems that your blog really needs to provide an in-depth analysis as to why a left-wing commie pinko such as yourself moved to Petaluma from the City in the first place.

Sorry, that should have been "left-wing commie pinko foodie".

The acronym being LWCPF, yes? Haha.
