Friday Food 01-12-24

Yesterday Carol and I had lunch at Maguroya on Imperial in Yorba Linda.. It is next door to Fitness Grill, our favorite lunch spot.  A few weeks ago we drove to Fitness Grill  only to find they were closed to do some remodeling.  Since we were there we decided to try Maguroya a Japanese  restaurant that has been there for years.  Their lunch plate was delicious.  Yesterday was a little chilly to sit outside and neither of us likes the dark interior of  Fitness with the high back booths.  So, we went next door and enjoyed the lunch plate.  You can select from the menu to "mix and match" what is on the plate. We chose to have the same selection. Again, it was delicious and just the right amount of food. 

The plate is very large, maybe 14", makes the servings look small, but they are not.

Two slices of orange, a scoop of cold noodles with light sauce, and a scoop of lettuce with a sweet dressing.

Teriyaki chicken.

A few pieces of perfectly cooked broccoli with a dab of sauce.

And sushi and California roll. 

Hot tea, of course, on a rather chilly day.  It was lovely.

You can guess what this image is.   I took it about ten years ago and saved it in black and white.  Think it would make an interesting art quilt with squares, triangles, and lines.  Sometime in the future maybe. 

I am not doing anything very interesting these days, but I did have lunch today with my friend Carol at our new favorite restaurant - Japanese.  Pictures tomorrow.

Working on the new year. 01-09-24

How do you see time? I've always been curious because I imagine that most people just don't have a mental image of time,  I see time in the reverse of a clock.  Although I do see the daily  passage of time as an analog clock.   I find that my brain translates a digital clock into analog clock!  I discussed this with one friend and she decided that she sees time as a ladder -  January at the top.

Here in Southern California I think of winter as Nov thru mid-March.  Spring goes through March, April, May.  Summer is June through September.. Autumn is just October and a little bit of  November. I grew up in Western Oregon and Southern California, so I have never experienced a "real" winter.

It is definitely winter here now.  Early morning temps have dropped into the 30s so KoKo and I wait until it warms up to 50F and we walk faster!  He will wear his sweater and I wear layers and cashmere socks.  I've looked at down jackets, but it seems impractical to spend over $100 on a garment I would wear only infrequently during maybe a few weeks of the year. Sometimes I am Ms. Pinchpenny.
