I'VE COOKED FOR OVER 55 YEARS so this recipe guide allows my stove to stay very clean.

THE BURRITOS ARE ENORMOUS! 

and so, so good

Three doors down East Washington from my store is the best and wonderfully priced restaurant.

They feature the best cooked, whole chicken in Petaluma as well as ribs and the usual taco, etc fare.

free salsa and chips are a special plus

Tucked across the street from Whole Foods  is a real movie house showing an eclectic blend of super heroes, operas, short films, documentaries and vintage films. You can buy the standard movie fare ( Junioir Mints at room temperature or chilled) or opt for a pizza, small plates, a glass of wine. 

Why do we like this place so much? Well, they've got a great range of movies and there are hole in the wall restaurants nearby.

Turn off 101 and take highway 116 to get to Guerneville and then wind your way through the town on River Road 

to Highway One. 

Wander off 101 at the Washington Street exit and go all the way through town to Bodega Bay. Try some of the smaller roads that lead to Tomales or Occidental

or the town of Bodega. Five minutes from the heart of downtown Petaluma, you're in the country--really green with all the rain we've had
