Situated as it is in the gorgeous pastoral landscape west of Fairfax, the San Geronimo Golf Course is a breathtaking place to drive, chip, slice and putt. "We've got rolling hills, coastal oaks, almost 150 acres in all," says co-manager Chris Bright of the 18-hole championship course. "There are coyotes, deer, foxes and wild turkeys, and salmon spawn in San Geronimo Valley Creek." Built in 1 967, San Geronimo features creeks, ponds, sand traps and encompassing redwoods that have made the course a flin-filled challenge for golfers at every skill level (including Bob Hope, Samuel L. Jackson and Jim Plunkett). The clubhouse is a destination in itself, offering a banquet room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the green and "live music for dancing and a great buffet supper every week...

Chris Cavendish clipped a bright, stunning red pepper from a group of about 30 plants he tended this year at Fishbowl Farm. He took a big bite right where he stood, and the Jimmy Nardello sweet Italian frying pepper, named after a 19th-century seed saver, rewarded him with a satisfying crunch and burst of flavor. They have a fruitiness and almost a tanginess at the finish of the pepper that other sweet peppers don't have," Cavendish said.

• Listening Post / Brief Reviews of Select Releases

Pop Rihanna, "Loud" (Def Jam). Rihanna is back. Forget the concerns with last year's dark, disappointing "Rated R," which awkwardly dealt with her all-too-public breakup with Chris Brown. With the bright and shiny "Loud," she rebounds with her best album yet. Though Miss "Umbrella" is understandably best known for her singles, "Loud" rewards those who listen to it as a whole. The first half is filled with StarGate-produced club anthems, starting with the clever, up-tempo "S&M" and ending with the massive Euro-trance "Only Girl (in the World)," which brings the drama as well as the BPMs. She slows things down -- for "What's My Name," which is already No. 1 and deservedly heading for omnipresence, and the soon-to-be smashes "Cheers (Drink to That)," which likely will spawn...

In stores DESPICABLE ME (2010, Universal, PG, $28) -- A surprise hit that racked up more than $500 million at the box-office, this animated gem about a sneaky super villain named Gru (Steve Carell) scores with a combination of brainy humor, sleek computer animation and adorable bright-yellow worker robots called minions. "Ice Age" impresario Chris Meledandri supervised the fun, which begins when Gru hatches a scheme to steal the moon. To carry out his wicked plan, he needs the help of three adorable Girl Scout-cookie-selling orphans. Cue the melting of Gru's heart. The warmth and charm of the flick easily overshadow the cliched plot twists. Extras: on the Blu- Ray/DVD combo pack, three new mini- starring the minions, featurettes and commentaries.
