Lizzie spent Saturday and part of Sunday in San Diego, I had a quiet weekend, sorting thru some Kindergarten boxes. What memories! I really enjoyed my 26 years teaching kindergarten :)
On Tuesday I went to Huntington Beach, I had not been there for a while. I've been lazy and sometimes I don't feel like driving since L does most of the driving, but then I say to myself I need to get out more :) Norbert seems to have recovered from whatever was ailing him, but he's being more like himself. He was more than happy that I went by his house and I told him I wanted to go to Costco lol. I don't have a membership anymore just one to Sam's. I read from some of my online friends that Costco had some foods from Spain and I wanted to check it. Sure enough they had some yummy iberico ham pata negra at a very good price. 3 ounces for $15 I bought one, but I should have bought a lot more, maybe next time I go I hope they still have it. I also got a big jar of Marcona almonds, a dusty rose sweater, a rug for the living room and a fruitcake! yes a fruitcake lol.
After shopping we went to have lunch at a "Mediterranean" Cafe, not my Mediterranean area, but food from Lebanon etc. I had shish kebab with rice, and salad. I didn't care much for it, it lacked flavor. We then drove to the beach and it was so nice, the weather beautiful and warm. When we got back to his home, he decided my car needed washing, so that's what he did. I stayed inside playing with my phone.
On Thursday, Lizzie and I went to have a drink at a place across from Knottsberry Farm called The Cauldron https://www.thecauldronbar.com/ It was pretty cool, like a witches lair, big fireplace, big bar, a "secret" room behind the library etc. We had some good drinks, L had a whisky drink I had a Margarita with Chambord. The appetizers were fun too. Gougers, fries with butter parmesan cheese
and Croque Monsieur sliders. We shared a creme brulee.
Friday we went to the Fullerton Arboretum again. I enjoy going there, every time I see something different and fun. This time I liked a vine called Brazilian Dutchman's Pipe. It was so interesting. When the flower opens is huge and looks like is made of cloth with a cool pattern, it smells lemony.
There were lots of new flowers, because the weather is so nice I think the plants believe is Spring lol.
It was actually hot, I was sweating and had to sit down in the shade every so often.
Next week is Halloween. We decorated the house and have pumpkins in the porch. We will give out candy!
