I am on an extended trip to Southern California for the next couple weeks. My days here have consisted of stealing away from work as often as possible to eat grandma's food, consume funnel cakes with my 2 favorite eleven and nine year old kids on this planet at Knott's, and work on lists of new places that I'd like to go while I'm here.
So far, my "things to do" on this trip include Santouka for Ramen, Mashti Malone for ice cream, and The Hungry Cat for a cucumber cocktail, Sushi Shibucho for my favorite sushi ever and hopefully Lucques for a meal. Anyone have other interesting "must try" places in the greater LA area? I'd like to get to Little Saigon in Westminster this trip, and would love some advice about where to go while there.
In my absence, I will leave you with some of my favorite links from around the Bay this week:
If you haven't been to Becks and Posh this week, I suggest you check out her fantabulous site redesign -- it makes her photographs pop, and makes reading her site even more fun than it already was.
The best memes are interesting and timely, and the one proposed by The Traveler's Lunchbox was just that. Melissa asked all bloggers to write a post about Things to Eat Before You Die. A lot of Bay Area Bloggers participated, and the resultant list is a good read.
