For most people, vacation means time off.  But for us, it also means no holds barred eating.

First stop: Pork Belly Grub Shack. This place is off Truxel Road in Sacramento, and I am kind of obsessed with it.

This is the breakfast I made for us on Sunday, toasted English muffins with cheesy scrambled eggs topped with bacon.

This area of California is full of nice restaurants that tend to have different things on the menu that I can try. This place had quail, and it was a natural choice for me, since I have never had quail. The little buggers look just like headcrabs, don't they?

Standard headcrab.

Linda had the Swordfish.

At another place, I found rabbit to try for the first time.  It was surprisingly delicious, like meaty lean chicken.

Linda had lamb shank.

At Silver's we had some nice shrimp Ceviche.

My fish & chips.

Linda had a crab Louie sandwich.

Up in Little River is a place called Wild Fish, Linda's favorite spot, and we both ordered the special, whole Dungeonous Crab. Crabs are a pain in the ass to eat, but worth the labor.

And since we were in our own house with a full kitchen, we made our own Thanksgiving turkey dinner.

Here it is.

And on Saturday, we couldn't resist a detour through San Fran for some Okonomiyaki!
