After all those movies yesterday, I needed some coffee to refuel. We headed to our favorite coffee shop for a cup 'o the good stuff.
Jones Coffee Roasters is in my top 3 favorites for coffee shops. It's local in Pasdena, walking distance from our apartment, and they really know what their doing when it comes to coffee.
It's cute and funky, with art all over the walls, amazing pastries, and live shows every so often. Starbucks eat your heart out!
(The lady on the left was hiding a big scone bite, doesn't she look like she's praying though??)
After coffee, we swung by L & L to get some lovely local food. They even had poke today!!! Behold the deliciousness...
Poke is raw ahi chunks mixed with shoyu, onions, red pepper flakes, and limu (a particular type of seaweed). It is the best thing in the world! I have eaten many pounds of poke in my day and I am so happy to be able to get it her on the mainland occasionally.
In typical local fashion, it's served with 2 scoops of rice and 1 scoop macaroni salad! It's always too much food for me, but I at least managed to eat every. single. piece. of. fish. YUM!
Then it was off to Whittier to see the birthday boy! I can't believe Dio just turned 1! I remember Karen being pregnant like it was yesterday and now he's 1???
So cute with cake on his face!
You know who else is cute...
Uh yeah, that's the man I am going to marry! Inflating and deflating a Capri Sun packet with all his might.
And what kind of LA birthday party would be complete without a pinata?
I feel the need to sing "Chocolate Rain" when I look at this picture...
We just got home and I have a million more chores to do before bed! Is it really time for another week already?
