It’s slow going, but moving along…the mural on the rear and side of the Del Oro Theater in Grass Valley, California. And while it looks good close up, what will it look like from the freeway? Will the detail be lost? Will it work from a distance? Here’s a photograph of the new mural in progress taken from the Safeway parking lot.

Friday night we had dinner for two at the New Moon Cafe in Nevada City. We have enjoyed the New Moon for years – they never disappoint! They have a seasonally changing menu with lots of Nevada County local organic food. The wine list is excellent, with one of the best selections in Nevada County. There are a variety of wines from many regions, locally and throughout the world. You can always find a food and wine pairing to satisfy your palette. The desserts are decadent.
I ordered the Meyer Lemon Chicken dish for my entre and found the chicken to be cooked perfectly and the veggies were tasty. My husband sampled the ravioli of the day, which was filled with cheeses, olives, sundried tomatoes, and lots of other good stuff. We shared a crab cake for starters which we both enjoyed.
Next time you’re looking for a great night out in Nevada City, make reservations at the New Moon Cafe.
