Catching up on the NYR..... Road Trip to Palm Dessert




Decided to go on a road trip after a long spring and summer of medical and mental recovery. We jumped in Red and off we went. Stopped at Hadley's for a date shake  cuz' ya just have to! Greg booked a great golf package deal at a wonderful hotel and course (Indian Wells) but did I mention that it was in August....? Yes it was hot so we decided to eat and sleep the long weekend away in the cool air conditioning. Along for the ride came several bottles of Saarloos & Son's wine- Yum. We ventured out for a late night bite to eat and stumbled upon Taqueria Sinaloense - a hole-in-the wall place but delicious, good horchata and even Mexican Karaoke!
Second evening in town we enjoyed a lovely romantic dinner at Castelli's Italian restuarant. The food and evening was so fantastic I forgot to take pictures.There was a great loungey Rat Pack type piano man and so I knew right away we were in the right place.  I can tell you what we ate as I do have a good memory for such things :) Started off with the best garlic bread and ceasar salad (with fishes!) I have ever had. Greg had big yummy martini and I sampled a new pinot grigio. Then came the Risotto tutte mare, lobster ravioli and to finish it off- tiramisu and cheesecake for dessert (yes dessert was "to go" because we were so full!)
