Crostini Smoked Trout with toasted almonds and Tomato

This crostini is made up of wonderful flavors and textures.

First I sliced the bread and put a drizzle of olive oil on each piece. Next spread a thin layer of a chicken mousse. On top of that is the crumbled smoked trout tossed with capers.

The next layer is of finely shreaded white cheese and almonds. The final layer is diced tomatoes that have been tossed in bread crumbs sprinkled with chives.

This crostini will make anyone a smoked trout lover.

Oh my Deer! It's a turkey convention...

Deer, "Single, file, single file....come on!'" Deer, She will shot you!... Turkey,"Okay....okay...I'm coming"

Living in rural area on the Central Coast of California it is not uncommon to come across a wild pig or two, raccoons, crows, many a deer and even a cow in the middle of the road.

We even have a family of quail that come by each morning and early evening. The beautiful males lead the pack with the babies following behind. Mama and another male quail brings up the rear. I still can not understand why anyone would want to eat these darling creatures.

Yesterday when I was working on my blog I heard a commotion outside my window. When I got up to look there was a turkey convention going on along side the meeting of the deer.
I quickly grabbed my camera for these Kodak moments.
