Tea and Tree Lover

I have found a black cherry berry tea that I am in love with! If we recycle 1 ton of paper we can save 17 trees! Recycle everything you can - paper notices, mail, cereal boxes, tissue boxes - it all helps!
Lastly, I love watching this baby panda sneeze on youtube. It makes me smile every time!!

The Gross Sidewalk Cafe and Full Bar - Los Angeles

While on the boardwalk in Santa Monica/Venice area of Los Angeles, I stopped into The Sidewalk Cafe and Full Bar. The food is OK, but honestly, you pay to be able to watch people walk by.


I should have brought my lunch and sat on the grass. I have nothing else to say because all I can think of is the sign when I was leaving:


I thought you HAD TO HAVE AN 'A' RATING!!

Gross!

Loney is Dirty! Get Some Lavender You Dirty Boy!!

James Loney from the Dodgers was voted the player with the dirty locker - by his OWN teammates! All of them said James Loney is the dirtiest! ALL OF THEM!

He needs to get some dried lavender and put it in his locker. He is gross!

Also, I love Tim Lincecum.

Two burps for those who love 'em!

Howard's Famous Bacon & Avocado Burgers

Howard's has a huge sign outside of their place that screams "Yummy!"

I found Howard's when I was waiting at the light of Venice Blvd and Sepulveda in Culver City. I was in the right hand lane, hungry, and new to LA. I spotted this sign and made my move. Luckily, I had cash on me because this is a CASH ONLY hamburger joint! I adore bacon, avocado, and burgers and I am from Southern California - I know a good burger. They have their own special sauce which is great on the burger!


Howard's has only a few tables, but a killer take-out business. The food is fresh and comes out fast. On the walls are old movie promotions and a collage of famous faces from the 50's. After eating at Howard's, I think I'm done with In n Out. They have long lines and an OK burger. I go there because it is fresh, but Howard's is fresh and offers bacon and avocado!! They have steak fries that are not soggy or too crunchy. They know what they are doing at Howard's and truly have a Famous Bacon & Avocado Burger.

Diddy Riese Cookies and Ice Cream

Cookies and Ice Cream have never been so good, fresh, and so cheap!
Los Angelino's rarely wait for anything; except great food.

Diddy Riese bakes some very tasty cookies. They take the awesome cookies and make delicious ice cream sandwiches with Dreyer's ice cream!! The cookies are creamy yet crumbly and not chewy. They really need some self serve water, though! $1.50 and you have a great dessert or treat. I am now going to be dreaming of two cookies that are just fabulous and a handful of ice cream. They have brownies, 10 different cookie selections and 12 choices of ice cream. I highly recommend Diddy Riese!!

Father's Office Los Angeles

Oh my goodness! I love hamburgers and I also love beer. All I really wanted was to see beer taps as far as the eye could see. Father's Office has made me so happy. The hamburger they serve is just fantastic. I think it may be the best hamburger I've ever had out of a bar. The shoestring french fries are OK, but the sauce they serve with them is what takes the french fries to the next level of goodness. And the beer selection with over 10 taps - I am in love with this place! The ambiance is laid back and almost woodsie...Is that a word? Well, it has a lot of wood and I like the feel of it! You can eat outside, inside, or at the bar. But, this place has no hostess. Keep your eyes peeled for a free seat because this place gets crowded the later you go.

Just look at these photos! Yummy!
