Spring is officially here for me when the farmers market opens. I like to stroll through once just looking, and then make my selections on the way back. It takes my entire lunchtime because I meet fellow locals along the way. Don’t miss out on the fruit (and veggies) of Mendocino County at the Certified Farmers Market! Fort Bragg on Wednesdays from 3:30-6:00 at the corner of Spruce and N. Main St (lot next to Century 21, N. Fort Bragg) and Mendocino on Fridays from 12:00-2:00 at Howard & Main St. 707-964-6718

This has been a fabulous year for wild mushrooms. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, I hope you’re enjoying this year’s bountiful harvest. Fresh from the forest and onto your plate – it’s fun to see the creative ways chefs around town are serving up the delectable treat. Here’s one not to miss!
February 4: Romancing the Funghi
One might argue that it’s impossible to “romance” the lowly funghi but Littler River Inn’s Executive Chef Marc Dym and Wine Buyer John Sverko have come up with a romantic, intimate afternoon. This will be the third year for this popular tasting. Marc will create three succulent mushroom appetizers, all accompanied by local wines chosen by John, whose knowledgeable commentary is presented in a disarmingly delightful way. Marc joins the discussion, talking about his favorite kinds of mushrooms and answering questions. Proceeds benefit Fort Bragg Food Bank. Little River Inn, 3:00 pm Cost: $30

The forests are full of mushrooms and local restaurent menus are taking advantage of the Mendocino Coast’s abundance. The Rendezvous Inn & Restaurant in Fort Bragg is offering a three-course wild mushroom tasting menu “Take a Walk on the Wild Side.” Local wines, available by the glass, are paired with each of the courses. The menu will be available nightly through the end of January. Kim Badenhop, 707-964-8142 for reservations.

I’m reaching back, but long before Gerry and I moved to the Mendocino Coast (maybe as far back as 25 years), we came to love the Little River Restaurant, a tiny 6-8 table restaurant with two seatings next to the Little River Post Office. The chef/owner back then was Jamie Griffiths, the current chef-owner of 955 Ukiah in Mendocino Village. We liked everything about it — the food, quaintness, ambiance, price. It was one of our favorites. After Jamie, a number of owners have run restaurants there. I haven’t dined at Le Petite Rive, the latest iteration yet, but San Francisco Chronicle reader Kenny Yip from Berkeley raved about chef-owners Troy and Melanie Barrett’s five-course dinner. Open about a month, this is the first review I’ve seen. I’m interested to hear what others say. We’ll keep you updated.

The Shelter provides a warm, comfortable and secure home for our animals. ” Visit the Mendocino Coast Humane Society for more details.
