Luong Hai Ky returns to Convoy:
Friend of yoso "Yummy Yummy" told me about this one. Luong Hai Ky has returned to Convoy street in their original location. I guess business just wasn't "phat" enough for Phat Restaurant. It never a good sign when a place goes from menu to buffet.....
Though I don't think the food at LHK ever reached the same heights after the original owner passed away, it still served a decent bowl of egg noodles soup. I had thoughts of dropping by, but it was just too darned hot this past week.

La Playita tries to bring me back from the dead:
Figuratively of course..... that's the Vuelve a la Vida ("Back to Life" - $13). Man did this hit the spot... and actually brought me back to life, if only for a short while. The version at La Playita is tangy and a bit sweet....I suspect from ketchup, but I'm not complaining, as there's a generous portion of seafood. It could be a bit more "picante", but I usually add a bit of hot sauce to fix that.
You can find Cathy's posts on La Playita here and here.

So how'd you deal with this past weeks heat?
Frankie has his own way off letting me know he's hot..... he lies flat on his side on the floor, usually in the middle of the living room with his tongue sticking out.... quite subtle, don't you think?
Frankie looks so cute there, and yes, very hot. I guess he just knows how to elicit attention =)

Heat -- you have no idea. Yesterday, a weather station less than a mile from where I live had the temperature at 121. That's pretty crispy even by Yuma standards.
Don't know how Frankie and Sammie would do over hear. Give a whole new meaning to hot dog.

That is EXACTLY what my dog Chert did all week. :)

Yes, that looks like the floor in our home. I think I need to take Extra and just have them shave him. Nutmeg and Tangent have short hair and seem to do well by merely moving from tile floor to tile floor. The cats decided the sinks were quite cool.
I need some mariscos!

Hi Lynnea - Frankie hadn't reached "stage 2" yet.... where he starts panting and letting his tongue hang out.
Thanks Kat - I think we started receiving them last night!
Hi Ed - Sammy and Frankie are pretty wimpy when it comes to hot and cold..... I guess they are San Diego dogs!
Hi Jan - That's funny...... how dramatic...
Hi Cathy - I hope you folks managed to keep somewhat cool! Da Boyz are probably going to get a haircut this week.
