The Kosher Market near us on Santa Monica Blvd (intersection with Butler, I think…) has a very tempting grill outside the shop. And you can buy the marinated meat from the meat counter, although you’ll get strange looks from the guys when you say you wanna cook it yourself. The beef kebabs were very gently […]
There was a packet of corn muffin mix in the cupboard. I could not resist trying it out for brekkie. Never had a corn muffin before. And the packaging looked so quintessentially American (didn’t take a photo, now wish I had). Made the muffins too small, had the oven too hot, so they turned out […]
Cycled to Venice Beach today (have a magic route, as vouchsafed by our biking neighbours; may post it someday should we try it again). Couldn’t decide what to have for lunch, so we had sushi! (This makes it something like 4 days in a row that we’ve had sushi: Thurs monkfish liver sushi with the […]
Angelato‘s, on the corner of Third Street Promenade and Arizona in Santa Monica, is possibly a gelato-lover’s heaven. The range of flavours is astounding, the combination adventurous, and the portion size generous. P has been replaced in my affections, naturally.

Had an avocado and lots of cherry tomatoes that needed to be used before the sure sudden descent into over-ripeness that always takes place when you look at them, say “oh that will last another day”, and end up binning in guilt the next day. Hence the so-chunky-it’s-not-guacamole above, and […]

I like mochi. And now that P has had some real mochi, he loves mochi too. Yay! We bought an assortment, some of which were completely new to me. I think my favourite was an inside-out mochi, which had a covering of smooth chestnut paste (a bit like marron glace paste, but paler in colour) […]
