Palomar Mountain News

It was a fun evening of music and food Saturday night with Miss Darla and Brendan from Palomar, The Lacemakers, and the Mark Jackson Bands.

Great to see friendly faces from Palomar!!   Here is their schedule this weekend:

Friday  – Old California Coffee-San Marcos

Saturday – Vinz Wine Bar -Escondido

Sunday – The Marketplace-Wynola – Julian

We need to have some Music on the Mountain again real soon, don’t cha think?

  Early morning looking out over the Jeff Valley.    Thanks to Cecilia Borland for sharing their ‘eye candy’ taken a few days ago from their deck.  (Double-click on the photo to enlarge).   Thank you Cecilia!

The Fall Colors seem extra-special this year ’round the mountain!  This beautiful view is from Honey, Stop the Car.  You’ll see that the land was reduced, so the package with the cabin, and extra acre with a well, are even more attractive!

Looking for a project?  A brand new 200 amp electrical meter was just installed at the Forest Fixer!  It is back on the market today!  Now with water and power it is ready for you to finish up to your desire!

Looking for great access when we are a winter wonderland for your year-round or weekend getaway!  The Palomar Loft just may have your name on it!

Beauty in the Woods has had some recent painting to brighten up the options for family and friends at that charming cabin, too!

Click to see the new look on the Cabins page and more on the way!  Meanwhile come on up, and I’ll open the doors!

Senator Joel Anderson Invites Palomar Mountain Residents

to Holiday Legislative Open House

Senator Joel Anderson, who represents the Palomar Mountain community, will be holding his 7^th annual Holiday Legislative Open House on Nov. 21 at 6:00 PM.  The purpose of the event is to give Senator Anderson and his staff an opportunity to meet with residents and listen to their ideas on how to improve the state of California.

“40 to 60 percent of the bills I have introduced in past legislative sessions came from residents who attended previous open houses.” said Anderson. “Palomar Mountain is a unique and vibrant community filled with active residents and it is important that I hear from them on the best ways to improve our state.”

Over 1,500 people attended last year’s open house. The ideas Senator Anderson received from the event resulted in three new bills that he introduced in the legislature:

SB 545: A children’s protections bill

SB 604: a bill to improve safety on intersections

SB 641: a tax relief bill for start-up businesses

The free event will not only give residents an opportunity to meet with neighbors, donated hors d’oeuvres and refreshments will be provided.

The event will be held at the Toyota of El Cajon at 965Arnele Ave. on Nov. 21^st from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.  To learn more about the three bills and to RSVP to the free event, please call Senator Anderson’s office at 619-596-3136 or visit http://www.senate.ca.gov/anderson .

Ok, now to put some more wood on the fire and get another cup of tea…

This apple cake has been a favorite for many years. I couldn’t resist making it a few times recently and had several requests for the recipe.  Thought maybe some of you might enjoy it too.  Made with mountain apples picked today,  makes it extra special.  If all goes as planned, there will be some waiting for you to taste at the Apple Festival tomorrow.

Mom’s Apple Cake

Cream together:
1/2 cup oil
1 cup apple sauce
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 T. Vanilla
1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
3 cups flour
Add:
1 cup coconut
1 cup chopped walnuts
3 cups chopped apples
(Sometimes I add chopped dates, raisins, or mashed banana and an extra egg.)

Bake in a 9×13 pan at 375 for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours
(Extra yummy served with hot caramel topping).

Beautiful sunset tonight!
