Bright Green

And very, very tasty: Fresh green pea soup.

Tastes as yummy as it looks good.

In short: A stunner.

First Day Of The Year

Traditional things to do on the first day of the new year:

Hike up to Mt. Hollywood for a view over Los Angeles.

Go over to Manon’s place for some bubbly and black eyed peas:

Very, very tasty. Thanks, Manon!

Eat Your Peas

Right – if you think so, Mr. President…

Breakfast! Breakfast!

Yes, after a nice two mile run around Echo Park Lake in the morning, I crave fish tacos.

Like these:

Then it is time for Rodeo Grill on Sunset, because they deliver!

Tasty, yummy fish tacos at 8AM – a runner’s breakfast!

Señor Fish

Do you know this feeling – you are driving past a place and it just hits you… you have to stop and go in and try it out…

Boy, we were lucky that we did! Señor Fish rocks! Big Time.

Both the Fish Taco Sampler

(Halibut, Tuna & Salmon) and the Sopes

made us swear to come back next weekend to Eagle Rock to investigate the menu further.

General impression: Superior food and laid back premises – what’s not to like?

Straight From Satan’s Paw

Give the Girl Scouts the $5 – no problem.

Only weak people take the cookies too.

Bigger Is Better

A big Pick salami is better than a small one.

And 4 Pick salamis are better than one.

Don’t just take my word for it – others go to great lengths too, to grab a bit(e) of this Hungarian delicacy.

All things Hungarian in Los Angeles can be found here:

They have an actual store in Burbank; they also ship all over the US.

Crime Scene

No, this is not funny – this is evidence!

We are definitely not in the habit of hanging our Prosciutto over the back of the chairs; this is hard evidence of the stealing going on in this house if one walks away from the breakfast table for just a moment.

So, you cats, listen up:

The first time you got away with it.
The second time we disturbed you and we have the photo to prove it.
The third time… we live in CA and we have something called the “three strikes law.” So you better be careful.

Thieves! Bandits! Gangster!

Best Of L.A.

Yes – the best ceviche I ever had is the one at Papa’s Place in Los Feliz. It is traditional with a twist, making me go back again and again for more.

Can one get hooked on ceviche?

In Honor Of His Noodliness

Petra — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 02:56:40 +0000

If one starts the day with a bowl of Ramen soup,

it is only a short step to deciding to dedicate the day to His Noodliness, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, which involves homemade pasta.

Paired with homemade Pesto and a generous sprinkling of Parmesan, our “Day of Honoring His Noodly Appendages” was a delicious success.
