And after a lovely lunch with SoCal at the Citrus Grill in historic downtown Orange I found enough time to do a little in her backyard.

My daughter was thrilled with her gift and I was pleased to be able to do it. Much of the knowledge used came from DGers.

Great stuff! A lovely birthday for your daughter. What a nice mom!

Citrus Grill? On North Grassel? I love their Ahi with coconut (I make something similar beginning with monk fish). I've had some luck duplicating their mango relish ;~)

Yes, the Citrus Grill is on Glassell in downtown Orange. My, Adam, you are a world travelor if you have been there! LOL And actually, my house is right off the North end of Glassell, near the 91 Frwy! Some friends of mine started that restuarant and later sold it. They did keep the famous original meatloaf and potroast on the menu but all else has changed.
Here is my favorite Mango Salsa http://davesgarden.com/t/372345/

Bon Appetite!
