Seesh, first the Pacific Beach location, now the Mira Mesa location. I do know that the Liberty Station location in Point Loma is open, I ate there a few weeks ago, and the National City location is still open as well.

It’ll rot your brains….

A familiar little phrase my Mom used…as in "watching all that television will rot your brains!" Geez, how many times did I hear that growing up. Nowadays, it seems like the Internet is the root cause of degenerative grey matter….."mindless entertainment", "wasted time", "mind numbing", aka – The Internet Will Rot Your Brain….. And in some cases I almost agree. For example just how many silly tests and quizzes can a person take? Stuff like Could You be A Vampire, What Carnival Ride Are You, What is Your Biblical Name, and stuff like that. And truthfully, I’ve been able to resist most of them….until I came across a post on FOY’s, Christine’s blog….it was the What Donut Are You quiz……and I just couldn’t resist. I pretty much had it pegged all the way….I’d be an old fashioned glazed…dependable, consistent, classic. Little did I know, after filling in little dots I was a:

You Are a Powdered Devil’s Food Donut
A total sweetheart on the outside, you love to fool people with your innocent image. On the inside you’re a little darker, richer, and more complex. You’re a hedonist who demands more than one pleasure at a time. Decadent and daring, you test the limits of human indulgence.

Gasp!!! I’m a frou-frou donut…..I’m crushed. A hedonist! Say what!! This’ll teach me to take these silly quizzes. Humph, I’ve never really liked donuts anyway………and what’s that smell….could it be???

From the archives:

Dsc01881v2 I was looking through some older digital photos….and was surprised how many had food in them. Surprised, because these photos, like the one directly to the right were taken in 2002! I guess I’ve been doing this unconsciously for a really long time.

So where was this lovely fish from?

It’s from Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas….I gotta get back soon!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
