Still eating leftover ham. This morning I scrambled it up with spinach, baby bella mushrooms, onion and cheese. This won't last much longer and I think by tomorrow Shadow will be getting some ham tossed in with her grub. She'll LOVE that.
On the agenda for the day? Not amuch. Maybe we'll get down into the basement and haul out the Christmas lights and then maybe even string them up. It's a very blustery day today. Leaves are scampering towards the ground. Cats cautiously poking around outside.So, instead of being home bound (which we love as well) Will and I went on a late afternoon walk in the hood. We headed up Sunset and along the way delved into a gallery featuring original oil on canvas paintings and the owner's own photography. We next wondered into a furnishings shop with hand made, and uniquely extravagant, lamp shades.
Poor little teddy bear seen sitting in the grass behind a fenced in vacant lot, lost and left all alone.
Kitty.
I'd never stopped in Tsunami's before. It's a righteously smelling and uber comfy space. And I think the best Espresso this side of Urth Cafe.
We ambled into the newly opened Giant Robot shop filled with soft, supple, touchable stuffed animally things.
Onward with a headwind and the sun easing towards the horizon we made our way to Wacko and it's cooler than cool lot of all that is rockin', retro, and hip. Great stuff in there man. On the way out we were accosted by a spoken word dude who asked if he could chime us a rhyme for a fiver or so. So Will gave him the go and with a beautiful voice and a gentle rhythm he spun us two.
On the way back towards home we stopped at Alegria on Sunset for dinner. I had the Enchiladas de Queso. It had a superbly smoky chile sauce. "We roast spicy Chile Negro, full bodied Chile Ancho, light Guajillos, add some New Mexico Reds along with onions and garlic." Man that was some good stuff.
