Glad you had a good date, erin.

Oh, I love Pambiche but I've only done breakfast there. Oh, and some of the best baked goods.

But what on earth can you eat there? I swear everything is made with bacon sofrito. Or it's that everything I order is. Could be that...

Mmm, Pambiche.

Also, yay, date guy!

Oh, wow, further perusal of their menu means I have to drag my Pambiche breakfast person there for lunch. And, hey, veggie food too. That looks amazing.

the vegan options are limited to sides, appetizers, and one plate w/ beans, rice, yucca...but most of the appetizers can be easily made into yummy meals...if cheese is ok then there are a couple of empanadas that are pretty tasty. I miss living down the street from that place!

I'm sorry you don't feel like you can talk about what you think here, Shir.

Was it here or on Facebook that this - [link] chocolate milk being better for you after a strenuous workout than sports drinks - was discussed? Because I just woke up from a dream in which I was trying to make sure that P-C, his sibs, and his parents all had a glass of chocolate milk after that last knock-down drag-out.

Hi, Maria! It's wonderful news about your mom's eye! Thanks, cuz I need good news.

Not without hurting people I care about. But hey, that's why I have a blog for. I can practice my wording and theories about Life as I See It there. This thread is for public discussion, and I accept it.

re: PC and PC's Mom

I was taken by her remark about white people not attending Indian events. What is supposed to be the largest Krishna temple in America is not far from me, and the big Mormon school (Brigham Young University) has discovered how fun the festivals are, especially the one where they throw the dye powders around. Of course, the kids aren't there for anything religious, and the temple is kind of dismayed they treat the place like an amusement park and not a place of worship. So the whole thing may not be a good example of "white people appreciating Indian culture" and more of a "See? Evil white devil people don't mix well." So never mind.

But it is fun to see all the multi-colored white kids heading home with pink and blue and green and purple etc. splotches all over themselves.

Holi!

The temple is very much overwhelmed now that the local college kids have discovered the festival. They had to get guards to keep the heathens from trampling the flower beds.
