things that will soon be shared with fat gwyneth

lisa's bon appetit in torrance
red velvet vday cupcake
cute and super dense/moist
mmmm cream cheese frosting

beef lasagna special
looks like a mess
but was sooo good

of the tons of times we've gone to lazy dog
we've never ordered full-on dinners!
bleu burger topped w/ bacon and bleu cheese butter
yes, bleu cheese BUTTER

caeser w/ grilled salmon
i'm convinced this is one of those secretly
INSANELY bad-for-you salads
surprisingly, the salmon was not overcooked
and was delicious!!
but i'm thinking it was probably soaked
in a vat of butter before "grilling"


tadoodles!
how have i never heard of you!
this is from a coloring book i saw

these are the real things!
so tadoodles are markers/crayons for 18months+ age kids
see how they are shaped for tiny hand grippage?
how f-ing cute are these?

the ashtray outside cho dang in torrance
get it?? anyone?
the pea!

jerry's famous deli @ del amo
i THOUGHT i remembered jerry's being GOOD
NOPE
sweet potato fries were tasteless :(

"cajun" chicken salad was WHACK
actually the chicken part was decent
but what in the world is cajun about this?
also barely any eggs and the dressing was terrible

WHERE, you ask, did i get this delicious steak?
mrs. wong's kitchen
filet, cab sauteed creminis, baked potatoes w/ cream and bacon,
steamed broccoli and olive oil grilled zuchini

mini brown sugar mochi squares

they taste like yummy boba balls
ucc cafe in walnut
crepes filled w/ vanilla ice cream
w/ strawberry syrup and fresh fruit
fruit and ice cream were good
crepe was not so great

chocolate harumaki
WHERE have you been all my life?!
fried egg roll wrappers
filled w/ fluffy, rich, whipped cheesecake
w/ chocolate ice cream and bananas

shufeng garden in rowland heights
warning: no one speaks english here!
did a lot of embarrassed pointing and nodding lol
some cold dishes:
sliced shredded beef and sliced pig ear in hot oil
cucumber chunks in sesame oil and salt
SO GOOD!!

the most intense mabo tofu i have ever had!
my tummy was THE BUMPS after this
fried pork intestines w/ TONS of chilis
sooo gooood ahhhhh!
but also ridiculously intense and = the bumps

joey under my fresh-out-of-the-dryer blanket :)

rascal's in torrance
the only other place (besides lisa's)
where i believe in the chinese chicken salad
i am a sucker for chili cheese fries
