E.Vil Donuts

A few blocks away from Copa Vida was a relatively new donut shop...

it's right by the trolley line and Azteca taco shop.

Despite the mostly negative reviews on that four lettered site, I couldn't pass up the opportunity...

Edamame Noodles & Fun with roasted vegetables and spiralized zucchini

A recent lunch..

which was relatively healthy...

Copa Vida

Although they served coffee at Center Cut, we wanted GOOD COFFEE...

so our next destination was downtown,

at the newly opened Copa Vida on J Street...

Return to Center Cut Steakhouse Breakfast Buffet

Earlier this morning D and I had breakfast which turned into a food crawl...

That's how we roll and it is always fun going on a crawl with a willing participant...

More random pix...this time from January to April 2015

Slowly but surely these pix are coming out of the woodwork.

Here are some taken from the first quarter of this year....

which include snacks like this..

Little Jewel of New Orleans

Like the Pied Piper of Hamlin, the nattily dressed Carl Baldwin led us down the street to one of his favorite new eateries in Chinatown...

the newly opened (at the time) Little Jewel of New Orleans...

which he and his wife raved about. We couldn't pass up on their recommendation especially since po'boys were on the menu...

Mushroom trio & lemon pasta

Did you know that these very same mushrooms you can get for cheap at Zion...

are $5.99 at Sprouts? WTF!

Save some moolah and head over to Zion...

Velveteria revisit + Chinatown storefronts, January 2015

Slowly but surely, I am wrapping up loose ends from earlier this year, such as our first road trip of 2015 in which we did a musuem two-fer in LA. Firstly, the JANM for the Hello Kitty retrospective exhibit..

Secondly, it was the return to one of our favorite museums...

All Dressed Ruffles

These ridged potato chips may look just like ordinary chips to the casual observer...

but one bite will make you crave more!  Like the whole bag more!

Thanks to Mary's recent post for a sandwich shop in the College Area, I was dumbfounded to find that this particular chip flavor was now available in the U.S.! Have I been living in a cave or what?
Soon after reading her post, I had to go to Vons for myself...

Return to Beef 'n Bun Whistle Stop & Trinitea Tea

On Halloween morning...I woke my sorry ass out of bed to have an early morning meet up with Cathy and her Mister...

at Beef 'n Bun in El Cajon.

As you can see, their windows are currently geared towards Halloween...

and will probably soon have Thanksgiving paintings in a few days...

But first, breakfast!

Return to LAX-C & Mae Ting's Coconut Cakes

Buzzed with caffeine (and sugar) from San Marco Coffee Roasting House in Burbank...

we made our way to the outskirts of LA's Chinatown...
