Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles



Living in Los Angeles for 14 years, I have never visited the famous Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles in Hollywood off Gower Street.  It's a landmark I'm told.  So when Thuy, Hailey & Jason invited me to dinner yesterday, how could I refuse? 

I had the #1 with a side order of grits.  I had the chicken which was delicious.  The waffle was a bit much to finish so left one waffle uneaten.  The grits are a home favorite for me.

Parking is a bit complicated because it is Hollywood but worth the food, flavor and friendship.

MooDaePo II---A Weekend Indulgence



Pigged out over the weekend.  

All You Can Eat Korean BBQ at the #1 rated restaurant Moo Dae Po II in Koreatown and then a sushi restaurant in Westwood.  That was Saturday.  

Sunday after a lil bit of Joel Osteen on the tv, I made a huge breakfast of oatmeal, bacon, eggs, salads and for lunch, I made huge bagel sandwiches with ham, greens & avocados.  Who doesn't love avocados.  They are the perfect food.  I also made my favorite salad with arugala and greens and avocados  and lime dressing/salt/pepper.

Current Weight: 114 lbs.

Ribeye, Red Wine & Salad.



Last night's meal was ribeye cooked on the grill by Hank paired with a very smooth, rich Cabarnet Sauvignon.

Salad:
Greens with my favorite, arugula...chopped with avocados with lime, pepper & salt dressing.

The sweet potatoes didn't come out so well.  I'll look for other recipes.

Until next time America!
