June 5, 2024 - Wednesday - Today we were back in the desert to see the new exhibit at the La Quinta Museum called Mission Gráfica: Reflecting a Community in Print. This touring exhibition showcases California’s long tradition of activist printmaking and offers an historical context for understanding our present moment.
These prints were all posters, to be shown on the street, to call attention to a cause or another injustice.
After the museum we had lunch in nearby Indio at the Cafe at Shields.
We both started out with a "Stuffed Date" which is a plump Medjool date stuffed with jalapeño, bleu cheese and proscuitto, wrapped in bacon and finished off with a shallot demi-glace and a balsamic reduction. These are wonderful.
Then I had their "Walleye Fish Tacos" which are three fish tacos lightly breaded on corn tortillas, lime, cabbage and chipotle aioli. It's served with rice and beans.
Judy had their "Curry Chicken Salad." It's shredded chicken breast in yellow curry, whole grain mustard house sauce, papaya, celery, carrots and sliced and toasted almonds on a field of mixed greens with balsamic vinaigrette. It's served with slices of banana bread.
