Whew, just got in from a short trip to Los Angeles. Here are just a few photos of places I've posted on before.
Of course the Missus's favorite little Sushi Bar is Sushi Komasa.
**** Sushi Komasa has closed
The sushi at Komasa, though not spectacular, has always been consistently good, and is reasonably priced.
On this trip, the Hamachi(Yellowtail) was excellent, a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth tender. The Aji(Spanish Mackerel), was also good.
So tonight we had Ankimo, Maguro, Binnaga(Albacore), Hamachi, Aji, Hirame, Tai(Snapper), Negi-Hama, and Salmon Skin Roll, with Hot Tea, the bill came out to about $65. Not bad at all. You can check out previous posts for more info.

Since we stayed in Torrance, we had to check out the Torrance Saturday Farmers' Market.
As I noted on my previous post, we used to make the 90 mile round trip to the TFM almost every Saturday when we lived in LA.
We loved the selection, and the low-key atmosphere. And were pleased to see things have not changed. There was still a wonderful selection of produce.
And lots of samples.
Tomatoes seem to be really popular today.
And of course the flowers.
And even Killer Snails!!!
One thing we've noticed is that the Food Court has sure expanded. Though we didn't have a chance to sample the offerings, I took a few photos.

I know, I know, you're saying, "Reruns, again?" Well stay tuned, I'll have some new posts on a few Los Angeles restaurant, including TianJin and ShenYang cuisine, and other stuff……
And as a great bonus, Cathy's also taking a road trip as well! So you'll be hearing from Her as well.
So why were we in LA? Well, maybe this helps:
Sorry, just being a bit silly. Here's the reason:
Yes, we attended the AKC National Championship. Over 3000 dogs were included in this years show. We'd never attended one of these, and thought this was a great opportunity.
Along with the P-B-G-V(Petit Basset Griffon Verdeen – won the hound group), the Glen of Imaal Terrier, Great Pyrenees, and Dandy Dinmont, we've always loved Havanese. And this was a great chance to check them out.
Hands down, one of our two favorite events was the Agility Invitational.
And it's not just the sporting dogs that compete, some of the biggest cheers were for some of the smaller breeds, like this Bichon Frise:
There were no losers…….
The other event we enjoyed was called "Meet the Breed", where every breed was represented and had a booth. We got to speak to alot of veteran dog owners/experts regarding the various attributes of specific breeds.
Of course there was the show.
As much as we enjoyed the "show" and prejudging portion, we enjoyed other aspects of the show more. Still, it was a great fun!
