Babette's Feast

Third in our Culinary Cinema Series that pairs food themed films with mouth-watering cuisine served in the beautiful setting of the museum is "Babette's Feast." Academy Award winning director Gabriel Axel tells the story of two elderly Danish sisters whose pious life is humorously altered with the unexpected arrival of Babette Hersant, a 19th century Parisian political refugee who cooks them a French feast they will never forget.

Join us at the museum for this delightful film and delectable French cuisine prepared by master chef Carol Blomstrom. Dinner includes hors d'oeuvres of tiny toast with crème fraiche and caviar, artichoke mousse on sesame crackers, salad with haricot vert and red-onion, entrée of coq au vin over noodles, and white and dark chocolate mousse for dessert. Reservations required in advance, limited to 100 guests. Cost is $60 for OMA members, $75 for non-members. Call the museum at 760-435-3721 for reservations.

OCEANSIDE: First surf film festival a hit

The first annual Oceanside surf festival is done, but you can enjoy the fun still and get ready for the second annual surf festival at the following link:
OCEANSIDE: First surf film festival a hit : North County Times - Californian: "OCEANSIDE ---- Oceanside happily upped the ante on its Surf City status with a winning first edition of a three-day surf film festival that ended Sunday.

'It’s just amazing,' California Surf Museum President Daryl Dick said about packed screenings of new and classic surf films and a VIP reception with crowds that spilled into the streets during the inaugural California Surf Festival.

'We got a huge amount of press all over the world,' he added, citing headlines from as far away as Australia about the event, which Dick said he anticipates will be repeated next year."
