Lockdown-Loosening Lookout & Luxury
Sometimes Ingredients=Luxury. In this case, yesterday we drove up to Mount Palomar, home of the giant telescope.
Here's the view from the road, looking south toward Mexico and the Pacific. The morning mist in from the ocean has not burned off yet.
We went around the telescope to visit Doane Pond, a place I had long heard about but never visited. It's beautiful, especially when the school-kid camp is empty.

Limit 5 trout in case you are wondering, but we weren't there to fish; just to look.
On our way down the mountain we stopped at Pala Indian Reservation and checked out one of the least known of the California Missions, built in 1816.
We had seen massively-overladen citrus while coming down the mountain,
so we stopped at a roadside stand and bought some.
I'm old enough to remember that Orange County got its name from Oranges, and I can remember always having fresh-squeezed juice (not concentrate from Florida, Brazil, etc. no offense to you all)
And that's when I decided to bake another loaf of bread so I could have fresh toast (not shown) with my orange juice.
How lucky we are.

More Palomar Pictures
Last time I went up it was much colder than this week's trip! I'm hunting for Observatory pictures - just can't remember where they are ... ah, Yes, here when I was in the White Van Man mode in 2016 I thought I had some images of inside but apparently not...
Finally I reply! More than I'd hoped for, and I will follow the link and linger over the description of the instrument. Thanks much, Mike. And as regards your bread pudding...
The day before you posted, this came out of our oven. A bread, apple and jam cake found on the reverse side of an article on The Bennett Winch Watch Roll that a friend in Boston sent to me. Not being familiar with the finer points of bread pudding-making,...
Saw off the crusts and trash them
Use the middle bits. Put the egg and milk in the bowl and mix gently then leave in the refrigerator a few hours or overnight. Take it out, tilt it around then bake..
Saludos querido Miguel!
The views are awesome! As you say, luxury doesn’t have to see with spending much money, luxury is more like when you enjoy fine things in life. And there are little things as great as having natural, tasty and healthy foods! Also you can marinate some ste...
