Under this California oak canopy, we explored this strip mall and - besides some great marinated carne asada - came across
the biggest fried pork rind in the world, actually protruding beyond its heat lamp case, in an alien life-form kind of way. Stepping out to lick our ice-cream cones, we turned right and found a Mexican version of Jamba Juice.
On the counter - while I, still in Turkish Delight/Aplets & Cotlets mode - sat this candy dish. Offering a free sample, the owner said, "It's good. Has tequila in it," reminding me of Swiss winos getting buzzed from Grand Marnier-filled crepes.***
I leave you with some pics of Michael playing with a fire hose
and our recent gardening venture. I urge Michael not to do likewise when watering our tender plants, though I fear some seeds may have been hosed from their earth. We also went shopping for vegetable plants, coming up with...
Dwarf lemon
Nasturium and basil
and grass, to fill-out Michael's Nile River and the Great Pyramids landscape.
Back in January, Tom & Meina gave Carolyn this Japanese camelia for her birthday. Camelias were the floral link to the samurai, since, like the fallen heads of warriors, the flower, in its entirety, falls to the ground, unlike others which scatter by petal by petal.
