#3033 lunchtime adventure

On Monday I had a lunch date with my friend Wendy from work. We were looking forward to having empanadas from Empanada Co. Unfortunately, we didn't check their hours ahead of time, and when we got there, we found out the restaurant is closed on Monday. 

In the same complex, there is (was) a kolach store, and we usually get a couple of kolaches while we are in the area. Unfortunately, the kolach store, Hruska's Kolaches, has moved, so that place was closed, too.

In the building behind the empanada store is a place called Wasatch Tap Room. It's part of the Squatter's Brewery group. I thought they might have a restaurant, so we walked over there and they were open, but unfortunately, it is just a bar, no food, so we left.

We looked at the map program to find restaurants near me. Sugarhouse, the neighborhood we were in, has a gazillion places to eat. A restaurant I've been to,  Fiddler's,  popped up as being nearby, so we decided to go there. It is classified as a bar, even though it has a big dining area and menu, so according to Utah laws, you have to show your ID even if you are clearly over 21 years old. Unfortunately, Wendy did not have her ID with her since I drove, so we left that place, too.

We decided to go to Pretty Bird because we knew where it was and we knew we could get in there easily. I had chicken strips and fries and it was really good. We were bummed not to have empanadas, but we have already made plans to go to Empanda Co on March 10, a Tuesday, so we can satisfy our taste buds. We might even find Hruska's new location and get a kolach as well!

#3017 a lengthy recap with lots of photos of trees and coffees

We have a lot to catch up on, don't we? 

This might be a longish post, but let's just roll with it. Let's start with Dec 11, a Thursday, and the last work day for me of my career at Granite. I did actually do a little bit of work that day, then there was a retirement luncheon. Food was catered from Cafe Rio (my choice), and all my work pals were gathered round the conference room table. There were gifts and tears and words and hugs and it was really nice. Afterward, there were photos. Here's one:

my work peeps!

The next few days, Friday through Sunday, were kind of a blur. MT and T came home on Thursday night and stayed for the weekend. MT went back to Pocatello on Sunday morning, and T stayed here because he was taking care of the dogs while I went to California to visit Mom and Lizzie. 

I arrived in Southern California on Monday afternoon. We went out for dinner, then to the house to chat and chill. Every day Lizzie and I went out for a walk and coffee. She picked easy trails for me, which was kind of her. I really like the urban hill trails in the area where they live. The trails we walked on were all part of parks, but they still feel a little wild. The weather was good, in my opinion. We had some foggy mornings that gave good vibes. After the walk and coffee, we went home to hang out, then in the later afternoon, we go somewhere for late lunch/early dinner. 

On Tuesday we went for a walk at Laguna Lake park. It was a foggy morning, and one of my favorite things about the trail was the part where all the trees were decorated! A family who lives along the trail had decorated about a dozen (or more) trees with baubles and it was so sweet. I think if you double click on the photo, it will fill your screen with the image so you can see the decorations.

We went for coffee at a cute place in Fullerton called Lulu Coffee. The bagel with cream cheese and salami was delicious and the cappuccino was good, too.

That evening we went to Old World Village in Huntington Beach. We had dinner at the Old World Biergarten. I had schnitzel and cheesy spaetzel and it tasty. A fun thing was that there was a Christmas Market onsite that day, so we wandered around in there. It was nicely decorated, and there weren't too many people, so it was good.

The next day was Wednesday, my mama's birthday! Lizzie and I started the day with an easy walk at Creek Park. 

it was still fall in Southern California

For coffee, we went to a favorite place, Civitas (no photo) and took it to go along with a chocolate croissant for Mama. Around noon, we drove to San Juan Capistrano, about a 45 minute drive from their house. We had lunch in a cute restaurant called Sundried Tomato Bistro.

birthday lunch!

After lunch we crossed the street to walk around the mission. It was a beautiful day, and the grounds were all decorated for Christmas. If I remember right, the lighting ceremony was going to be the next evening. We didn't come back for that, but we sure enjoyed strolling around. A nice lady took our picture.

awww!

The light that afternoon was amazing, and we were happy to be together.

ussie with perfect lighting

We stopped at another restaurant, Bloom, for coffee and dessert before we headed back home. The drive down only took 45 minutes, but it was at least double that going back north. That's how it goes, I guess.

On Thursday morning, Lizzie and I walked at Clark Park. It was a lovely morning, and everything was so green, it looked like spring.

a blooming meadow on the Clark Park trail

For coffee, we went to Enchanted, a coffee shop in La Mirada. I had one of the seasonal drinks, a maple latte that was really good, and the biggest, most Nutella-stuffed croissant I've ever seen. I couldn't eat the whole thing in one sitting. The place was busy and the vibe was not relaxing, but the coffee and croissant were top notch.

That night we went to Il Gatto in La Habra. It is an Italian trattoria that is completely gorgeous. We didn't get the table we wanted, but the food was good and the wine was excellent. I'd be glad to go back to this place anytime. I didn't take pics of the food. We ordered from the happy hour menu, so we had a variety of delicious snacks that were really filling! The hostess did take our photo by their pretty Christmas tree.

we are full of Italian food

On Friday morning, Lizzie and I went another park in Fullerton, I think, to an area she called Lost Trail. We walked through a softball complex to a series of dirt trails. There weren't many people on this trail, so it was really quiet and nice. There was an amazing tree just off the trail.

I loved this cool tree!

An interesting thing to me about the trail is that it went to the Brea Dam, which is interesting because it doesn't dam anything. Lizzie wanted to go up a trail above the dam, but I didn't really want to, so she was kind and cut me some slack. It was a cool area, and I liked the walk a lot.

For coffee, we went to Golden State Roasting Company in Placentia. The seating areas were large, and the exposed brick was pretty. It wasn't exactly cozy, but it was nice. The coffee was good - I had a peppermint mocha along with a breakfast sandwich. Nothing special about the sammy, but it hit the spot.

Later that afternoon, we had late lunch/early dinner at Zumaya's in Whittier. I didn't take a pic of my meal, but I had carnitas tacos and they were really good. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the tortillas were amazing. They may have been made from masa; they were sort of chewy and soft and mmmm. So good! After the meal, we drove over to a Mexican bakery to get a coffee and a dessert to take home. The dude told me there was coffee in that mocha, but it was so smooth and chocolatey, I didn't taste coffee at all. We also went to a nearby store called Pour le Bain. I have been in the store before and it smells so good and has pretty things. Then we took an ussie with a giant Santa.

this Santa is BIG!

The next day Lizzie and I did our traditional Saturday walk around La Mirada Regional Park before hitting the Farmer's Market for pastry and stickers, then picking up coffee from Starbucks. We stayed home the rest of the day. Mom cooked canalones and we drank a bottle of cava to celebrate my retirement, Mom's birthday, and just being together.  

On Sunday we didn't go for a walk, but we did go back to Civitas for coffee and pastry to go. Then I had to pack and get on the plane to come home. 

The highlights of this past week were getting a live Christmas tree, this cute Norfolk pine...

our Christmas tree

...going to the Christmas breakfast at the country club with my work friends, then taking my final walk of the year through Red Butte Garden (the Garden is closed from Dec 24 - Jan 1)...

no snow to be seen

...taking a drive down Michigan Ave to admire the thousands of lights on the sycamore trees...

magical Michigan Ave

 

...and celebrating Christmas at home with my menfolk.

Happy Christmas from MT, me, and T!

The bummer part is that I've had a cold since Christmas Eve. It's still hanging on, but I do feel better today.

So, yeah, this is a long post, and if you've made it this far, thanks and nice going! It's just a little snippet of my exciting life LOL

I don't have much on the agenda for next week. Of course, Wednesday is New Year's Eve followed by New Year's Day. I'll be surprised if we make it to midnight on Wednesday, but we'll try! I think my main activity will be figuring out how to spend my days productively since I won't be working anymore. I've cut myself some slack this month since I've been on vacation and it's the holidays, but I know myself well enough to know that I must have some kind of structure planned or I will default to scrolling through Instagram and playing games on my phone. I have a list (surprise!) of things I want to do daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly, so I'll use that to shape my days. I'm excited to see what's next.

#3003 pdin 22 it seems like pickles are having a moment

 

my art

For Thanksgiving, I volunteered to bring some appetizers and wine. Scrolling through Pinterest is a good way to get ideas and find recipes because I don't want to just bring any old ranch dip, even though it's a classic and nearly everyone likes it. 

What I noticed is there appears to be a new trend, not just in dips, although it's there, too. Pickles are having a moment. All of these photos are from the internet.

cheese bread with pickles

dill pickle dip

pickle pasta salad

pickle pizza

The cheesy bread and the pizza are particularly offensive to me.

I do not like pickles, and I don't think I ever have. I don't like the taste of dill, either. I don't like cucumbers. When I was pregnant, I could smell cucumbers from far away. In the office, someone would have cucumbers on their salad or as a crunchy snack, and the smell made me low-key nauseous. The aversion isn't quite as strong anymore, but I still don't like the smell of cucumbers or pickles. If one of those items touches my food, I consider the food contaminated. (hahahaha...no, really)

Needless to say, I will NOT be bringing a pickle-related appetizer to the Thanksgiving feast. I think I've settled on a mini meat and cheese board and a spicy pepper jelly over cream cheese. I'll also bring a few bottles of wine and a pecan pie from Trader Joe's. I love pecan pie, although no one else in my house does. I know there are other people on MT's side of the family who will enjoy the pecan pie with me, and then I don't have a whole pie here at home. That's dangerous for me because I will eat the whole pie. 

Here's to a pickle-free holiday!

#2972 vacation memories: day 1 and 2 Budapest (UPDATED)

 

next stop: Amsterdam then on to Budapest

I have spent the most marvelous half hour looking at photos from just the first couple days of the vacation. I smiled and giggled a little. I'm taking the time to put the pics in folders on my external hard drive as I go, and I think I'll be happy about it in the long run. 

I've been thinking about how I want to tell you about the trip. Of course I took pics of pretty buildings and some random stuff that maybe I thought would look cool and maybe art-y. You'll likely see some of that, and I also really hope I can describe the feelings and thoughts I was having as I whisked through those two weeks. 

Let's start at the very beginning / A very fine place to start (IYKYK)

Lizzie and I switched things up by flying out of SLC instead of LAX. I only saw one downside to this plan: I didn't get to see my mom like I do when we fly from LAX. Other than that, flying out of SLC was fantastic. We waltzed right in to check our bags. No line, no fuss. Security was super easy and we were very quickly sitting at one of the airport bars toasting our upcoming trip before boarding the plane. We chose to sit in the middle section so no one would have to climb over us or we wouldn't have to climb over anyone to go to the WC. Lizzie had the aisle (because I sleep, so I don't get up much), and on the outbound flight, no one was sitting next to me. It was great! I slept most of the eight hour and 45 minute flight because I can.

We arrived at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam in the early afternoon. We had a layover of about three hours, so we walked around a little to stretch our legs, then had a drink and a snack at a bar before boarding the flight for Budapest. I think there may have been a bus ride out to the airplane in Amsterdam, but I don't really remember. Maybe it was when we came back to Amsterdam from Prague? Those details are fuzzy.

After a bit of anxiety and miscommunication, we finally met up with our driver in Budapest. He immediately began talking about American politics and shared a bit about Hungarian politics, too. It seemed like a long way from the airport to the hotel, but maybe it was just that I was kind of uncomfortable with the conversation.

The hotel, K + K Opera Budapest, is in a terrific location within easy walking distance of some cool things.  Our room had been upgraded, so it was quite large by European standards. 

hello from my hotel room in Budapest

Before we left, Lizzie did some research and found an authentic Hungarian restaurant less than ten minutes walk from the hotel, so we decided to go there since we were pretty hungry. I'd eaten dinner on the plane, but slept through breakfast, and that beer and snack in Holland was long gone. 

The restaurant was cool. There wasn't space to sit outside, but the doors/walls were open so we had a half-in-half-out table situation. We ordered local beer and traditional Hungarian food. This is what I had:

veal paprikas with dumplings

I had the third item on the menu, the veal paprikas with dumplings. Let me just take a moment to tell you about this dish because it was truly so, so good. The veal was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The gravy had a smoky paprika flavor that was tamed by the creme fraiche drizzled on top. The dumplings were slightly chewy and absorbed the gravy when I mixed it all together. I know I was hungry, and I also know that the dish was delicious and I would have it again in a heartbeat. 

For dessert, we shared a traditional Hungarian treat:

lugas

It reminded me a a trifle. It was chunks of sponge cake, giant dollops of whipped cream, and generous globs of chocolate and caramel sauces. I'm glad we shared it, because it was big, and damn, it was good. Capped off with a wee espresso, what a gorgeous meal and wonderful welcome to Budapest. Lizzie dazzled the servers with a few Hungarian words. She and I had a hearty giggle over a photo I took that included her but looked like she'd been splinched, (Harry Potter reference!) I wondered if we were just a little goofy from the long travel day, but when I looked at the photo just now, I laughed out loud again. Out of respect for my sister, I won't post the pic. lol

After dinner, we walked around just a little. We were both pretty tired and ready to stretch out on a bed. On our way to the hotel, we walked into a big plaza in front of this building:

St. Stephens Basilica

This is St. Stephens Basilica, the cathedral of Budapest. It was Saturday night (Sept 6) and there were lots of people out and about in restaurants around the square and walking in streets. My initial impression of Budapest is that it is a very clean city, at least what little I'd seen so far. Usually in these big European cities, the buildings look a little grimy, there's garbage and dog poop on the sidewalks, and it's just kinda grungy. I didn't see any of that in the couple of hours that we spent out that night. I also felt very safe. I realize I was in a nice part of the city, but even when we walked a little closer to the river and there were more people, I felt fine. No weird vibes. 

In my last post, I mentioned that I was making a travel journal. I took a pic of the Day 1 and Day 2 pages, but it doesn't seem like it has gone into the cloud yet. I'll add it next time I write so you can see a bit of my creative madness. Stickers! Little doodles! Scribbles!

travel journal 

Up next: a morning stroll, embarkation on the Viking Aegir, and a drunken night cruise on the Danube. 

#2946 three things: my favorite meals - Italy edition

Maybe since I am not eating many carbs lately, I was thinking about the beautiful, carby meals I had on my last trip to Italy. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that I 'd do a food post from that trip, so why not now? Here are the three meals I most enjoyed while in Italy in October.

breakfast in Rapallo

 Breakfast. Every day except one that I can think of,  Lizzie and I started our day with cornettos and cappuccinos. In Rapallo, we always went to the same place, Tossini. I always had the cornetto di crema with the powdered sugar and some cream inside. Lizzie preferred the cornetto regulare. A cornetto is basically like a croissant. It is a normal thing to dip the cornetto into the coffee. It may seem strange to us Americans who are used to big breakfasts with protein, but this meal was very satisfying to me. I wish I could have it tomorrow! 

Not only was the coffee and pastry very good, but the cafe itself was pleasant. We always sat on the back terrace. It was enclosed, and on days when it wasn't raining, the windows were open. The view was a car park with lots of motorcycles, but beyond that was a pretty church tower and trees. The people were nice - they got used to seeing us and were pretty friendly on our last couple of days there. 

lunch in Milan

Lunch. My favorite lunch was eaten in Milan at a little neighborhood restaurant called La Fettunta. My main dish was this plate of pappardelle al cinghiale (wild boar.) The pasta was tender and just the right amount of chewy. The ragu was flavorful and rich. The boar meat was the perfect mix of porky and beefy tasting. It was devastatingly delicious. I have often thought back on this meal as one of the true highlights of the trip. 

Lizzie found the restaurant in a Google search. It was good luck that we got there a bit early before the locals came in for Sunday lunch. The service was excellent and I could not have been more pleased with this experience.

If I ever get back to Milan and have the time, I'd certainly try to find this place again.

dinner in Rome

 Dinner. Other than Tossini and the gelato place in Rapallo, we only ate at one restaurant twice, and that was Capranica Enoteca and Taverna in Rome. It was very close to our hotel, and we lucked into it our first night in the city. It was so wonderful that we decided to go back our last night in the city as well. That last night, Lizzie and I shared this incredible plate of pasta carbonara. Let's be clear: we could have ordered our own plates, as we did in Milan. We just learned that the food is rich and plentiful and we were happy to share. This plate of pasta was perfection. The sauce was creamy, the guanciale (the meat) was just the right amount of salty and crispy, the pasta had the perfect bite - no mushy noodles in Italy!

The service at Capranica was superb, especially our first night. The servers were attentive and kind. I know I will be back in Rome someday, and I will definitely eat at this restaurant again. 

HONORABLE MENTION

antipasto in Rapallo

Antipasto. I am a big, big fan of the tagliere, a plate of meats and cheeses. We probably had at least one every day. I'm calling this one out in particular because the burrata alone is worth mentioning. This plate of prosciutto and burrata is from Elisir in Rapallo. Burrata is the creamiest mozzarella you will ever eat. It is a mixture of mozzarella and cream. The outer layer is the traditional mozzarella, then you open it to get this decadent, creamy deliciousness. Lizzie and I spread the cheese on some fresh crusty bread, then layered some wispy prosciutto slices on it. I could have just had this appetizer and some wine and been perfectly content. The meal I had there was very good (trofie pasta with pesto, a Ligurian specialty,) but this antipasto was phenomenal.  

gelato in Rome

Dessert. How could I write a post about food in Italy without including gelato? I am not much of an ice cream eater, but I love gelato. Gelato is made with higher milk content and less air, so the texture is silky and more dense than ice cream. The flavors in Italy seem concentrated. At this particular shop, I had a scoop of coffee and a scoop of salted caramel and OMG it was fantastic. Lizzie and I did not have gelato every day, which is a shame. I will do better the next time I am in Italy. 

Didn't you have anything good in Florence, you may be asking? The answer is yes, the food in Florence was good too, but I think my favorite thing from Florence was the wine!

wine in Florence!

#2939 what I've been up to

As I look back on this past week, what I think about the most is that I was willing to give myself some grace and recognize that when my body felt like it needed to rest, that's what I did. It seems that I often want to go to bed around 8:30 pm, but then I scoff and tell myself it's too early for bed. On  Monday, I didn't scoff. I went to bed! I had to set an alarm so I could pick T up from work. I was able to get back to sleep pretty quickly when we got home, and I felt good on Tuesday. 

Not every day went like that, of course.

On Wednesday, I went to see Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at Pioneer Theater Company here in SLC. The theater is on the campus of the University of Utah, so I was a bit concerned about the parking situation, but it ended up not being a problem at all. The theater provides free parking in a lot within steps of the venue. Parking was also easy due to the fact that the performance was a dress rehearsal of the play which opened to the public on Friday night. I really liked being in the smaller audience. I had an excellent seat in the fourth row near center stage and the show was great. Carole King's music is so familiar - I remember listening to Tapestry when I was a kid because my mom had the album. It's amazing how many well-known hits Carole King wrote. 

Friday was Valentine's Day. MT came back from Pocatello for the weekend. He and I went out for dinner to our favorite neighborhood pub, Copper Creek. I think it was the first time we've been out for dinner on Valentine's Day in years. Usually we just have a nice dinner at home. We watched a cute, easy movie when we got home - La Dolce Villa on Netflix. 

Yesterday I went to get my hairs cut. It had been about three months since my last visit with Lanna, and the hairs needed some attention. She just trimmed and shaped and snipped some life back into the curls. It feels good.

feeling sassy

MT went back to Pocatello this morning. He witnessed a bad accident right in front of him on the freeway near the Idaho border. A pick-up ran into the back of a semi and the semi dragged the truck along until it came loose. MT actually pulled the driver out of the pick-up with a highway patrol officer standing by. MT said the roads were wet, and it wasn't snowing hard, just flurries, but the pick-up was following the semi too close and there was a wreck up ahead, so when the semi slowed down, the guy in the pick-up did not. MT said the guy in the truck was alive but badly injured. So scary!!

This afternoon, I met my Red Butte Garden friends Wendy and Tracy for lunch at a restaurant in Sugarhouse called The Dodo. Wendy and Tracy each drive a tram and give complimentary tours on Sundays, and I am the docent. I love these two people. They are both kind and good, and I feel fortunate to get to hang out with them. We've met for lunch a couple of times this winter, and both times have been fun.

Since I'd never been to this restaurant before, I did a bit of research. The place is known for their desserts, so I knew I wanted to have some Toll House pie. I got a cup of one of their soups of the day, chipotle chorizo potato, which came with a very delicious roll. 

chipotle chorizo potato soup and a roll

The soup was really good, very flavorful, and just the right portion for me. I don't usually eat a lot of soup. It's not that I don't like it, necessarily, but it just doesn't hit the spot for me. In this case, though, it was perfect choice because holy gumballs, that slice of Toll House pie...

Toll House pie with whipped cream and chocolate chips

This slab of a warm chocolate chip cookie on a flaky, tender pie cruse was so very good! I didn't finish it all, so I brought it home and I've been nibbling on it this evening. The cookie was buttery and tender with a good amount of chocolate chips and walnuts. I'd absolutely have it again, and I don't know that I would share; MT would have to get his own slice. Wendy had the banana cream cheese pie with warm, homemade caramel topping, and she thought it was outstanding. Tracy didn't have dessert; he said he had a big breakfast and he had soup and a sandwich, so he was full. I did offer him a bite of mine, but he didn't take me up on it.

When I got home I decided to watch a movie, so I settled in for Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy. I'm not ashamed to tell you it made me cry a few times. My dog Mac is a sympathetic creature, and when I cry, she is the dog who comes to comfort me. She snuggled next to me and put her head on my lap. Sweet girl.

Tomorrow is a holiday, President's Day, so I don't have to work. HOORAY! Harley has an appointment at the vet at noon. I will have to give her a doggie downer at breakfast so she won't be as hyper at the appointment. She is the most mellow dog at home, but she sort of goes a little bonkers when we are around people. She gets really excited and it's hard for the vet to examine her. I give her a mild sedative - prescribed by that vet! - and it helps her and all of the humans. 

I work on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Wednesday night I will fly to Long Beach to spend a few days with Mom and Lizzie. I'm looking forward to seeing them!

So there is a recap of the best parts of the week. Now I'll finish up a wee art project and get ready for bed.

xo

#2922 Camogli

 How about a little more Camogli to finish out the week? 

The art group, along with Suzy and Jeannette, went to Camogli  the afternoon of Friday, October 18. Camogli is an eight minute train ride from Rapallo. In spite of the pick-pocket incident, I really loved riding on the trains. Clean, quick, and easy. Highly recommend. 

train route between Rapallo and Camogli

Once we got to town, it was a quick walk down to the waterfront area from the train station. The view of the water took my breath away. I think the people from San Diego are used to the sight of the sea because some of them didn't seem quite so enamored with it as I was.

Ligurian coastline in Camogli

Basically, the plan was for everyone to go explore or whatever on their own, and we would meet up for some art time a couple of hours later. There was time to walk around and to have lunch, which is what Lizzie and I chose to do. One of the women went swimming. The water does look pretty inviting, doesn't it? There were a few people out on the beach and swimming that day. We didn't even go down on the sand. 

As I said in my previous post, Lizzie and I didn't know what we didn't know, so we just started walking. We found this walkway near the harbor and walked until we could walk no further, then we took some photos.

We were getting hungry, and we finally agreed to a restaurant whose name I do not recall. I do remember the server was Spanish, the beer was cold, and the food was really good! We started with a little pastry pocket of melty cheese, and shared a main dish of ravioli with meat sauce. 

get in my face!!

Italian food is delicious

Living the dream

I stand corrected: I thought this was the same restaurant where Suzy and Jeannette had lunch, but Lizzie mentioned in a comment that she thought they were at a different place, but it was right next door. I can tell you that I was way happier with what I had than what they had (fish).

After the meal, we walked 32 paces to the bar where we would have art time.

Bar Barracuda

Jill had a couple of projects she wanted us to do, and we were also free to play around however we wanted. This is one of the things I did:

my art

Here is what I was based my art on:

Camogli

That cluster of buildings on the left side include a church and a castle. I don't really know much more than that. I mostly think Camogli's claim to fame is the brightly painted buildings and overall picturesque-ness of it all.

Lizzie and I had been in Rapallo all week, so it was great to see a different little town. I don't know that I would like to stay in Camogli, but I did enjoy visiting there. A highlight was going to a cute bookshop on the lungomare. I wanted to buy many things, but settled for a cool bookmark. I had limited space and a many more places to see and perhaps things to buy.

At the end of our time in the town, Jeanette offered to take everyone's photos. Of course Lizzie and I posed together. I love this pic!

sisters in Camolgi!

I hope you've had a lovely weekend - I did! - and have a nice week planned.
