Seafood Friday: Week 5 - Return of shrimp burritos

And because I'm lazy...

Tonight was a repeat...

Pix Patisserie - N. Williams location

After our brief visit to the Cullen house, we headed over to what they facetiously refer to as "The Fifth Quadrant", the North, which used to be an African American area which has, over the years, become increasingly gentrified.

Our destination was the second location of Pix Patisserie, a well known sweets shop in Portland. The same morning on the local news channel, we saw a feature about their Easter offerings and thought we would pay the shop a visit before returning to San Diego...

The Cullen House

I'm finally finishing up our Portland posts...nearly ONE YEAR LATER!

Better late than never I say.

On the last day of our spring vacation, we headed over to a quiet neighborhood in the NW quadrant of Portland that borders Forest Park.

Does this look familiar to any, uh Twilight fans out there?

Use Your Illusion

If you stare at this long enough, it will give you a headache!

At least is does, for me...

I'm a big fan of black and white clothing and when I saw this print a little over a year ago, I took a risk...

Put them in the Iron Maiden....

This is one of my favorite references to Iron Maiden, courtesy of Bill S. Preston, esquire and Ted "Theodore" Logan:

"Bogus...."

Which brings today's sad new for Maiden fans...

Get on your boots...

Even though I don't listen to her music and generally think of her as an annoying airhead celebrity (remember her reality show with her ex Nick Lachey?)...

I have to say that I like some of the styles of Jessica Simpson's shoe collection, notably the boots...

Brunch at Eclipse Chocolate Bar & Bistro

Yesterday, on my way to brunch, I noticed that there were now painted lines and numbers in the Gala Foods Parking lot.

Compare that to the parking lot one mere month ago when we went to the grand opening of Eclipse (below)....

I was excited to have a brunch meetup with two supercool ladies, one that I would be meeting for the first time...

Starstruck

As promised...

Bite this yo'...

A few weekends ago, TC and I were out doing errands. A quick drive by on Palm Avenue proved what I was hoping to be true...

Yellow Sky

Last weekend, I attended a baby shower for my friend's daughter...
It was quite lovely, with a lavender, black and white color theme wih damask and the Eiffel Tower as the other design elements. There were desserts galore (full post will be forthcoming)...

It was also an excuse to dress up. My friend is one of my workout galpals and we normally don't see each other in clothes other than workout clothes...

Seafood Friday - Week 4: Fish Tacos & Grille City

Just a few pics from today's seafood offerings...

My Israeli couscous with garbanzos and almonds with garlic shrimp:

Along with my very sad fish taco lunch from the school cafeteria. The complete meal was $3.25 and included milk, jello, salad (not shown), beans, shredded lettuce with tartar sauce and two limp fish sticks in two corn tortillas. Ugh, never again.

Things however, did get better later on that evening...

Spiked

My love of hardware has traveled from my boots and jewelry to my clothes...

Those are actually speaker spikes (whatever those are!). Now, if they would only supply spikes and circular and pyramid studs 'n shit with the Bedazzler!

Then I'd be in BUSINESS!

Seriously, I would be in my room bedazzling every fkg thing I could get my hands on. My leather jackets, my pajamas, my sock hems, and my underwear. Just kidding.

I want to have a rhinestone and pyramid studded pair of Daisy Dukes.   Not.
