Indian Food at Chutney's over on Pico and Barrington. Whole Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka Marsala, Lamb Curry, Rice, Vegetables, Salad, and Naan Bread.
I made scrambled eggs and shrimp. A deliciously simple Chinese dish. Fresh chicken eggs from the yard just make it that much better. Organic scallions too. Rice on the side. Yum.
Stumbles across a bag of vermicelli at the market. I love Rice-a-Roni and here were those little pasta thingies for me to make it myself. It took no more time or effort than making it from a box and at a fraction of the cost. That with a breaded pork chop and yum.
Went to El Coyote over on Beverly Bl west of La Brea. Had some great Carne Asada w/rice and beans. Always loved that place. If you go there have a few Scratch Margaritas with your meal.
Went to Bay Cities Italian Deli on Lincoln Bl in Santa Monica and got a Large Godmother(spicy) w/the works. Bread was chewy but flavorful and the insides with the meat, cheese, and other toppings was amazing.
I sauteed some onions and garlic in olive oil, added some sardines and kale, let it simmer, and then threw it over some whole-wheat spaghetti. It was good, but underseasoned.
Big ass Wet Chicken Burrito with Jack Cheese, Diced Jalapeños, and Green Enchilada Sauce over the top made by me. I used delicious Gelson's Rotisserie Chicken for the Chicken part. Sure was good.
Pizza at Cosimo's in Newburg. A family supper after my nephew's graduation. My first taste of wood fired pizza. Fennel spicy sausage with fresh basil and buffalo mozzarella. I usually like my pies with lots of shit on it but this one I'd order again. Flavors of each ingredient did not overpower each other. Bruschetta perfectly fresh. Took half of everything home.
The kids ordered sorbet for desert. The coconut was served in a half coconut shell. The lemon had a rind spiraled around the sorbet and looked like a football. That's how to wow a kid at a restaurant.
Fried rice; beef, green beans, carrots, scallions, onions, green and red bell peppers, cabbage, and bamboo shoots. It was good, but I think that I should invest in a wok before attempting to cook that much at once again.
