**** Sorry, no moa' poke at Zarlitos
Pokesilog?:
So the Missus wanted a nice, early weekend breakfast at one of Her favorite spots. We were met by the same very sweet and pleasant young lady, that usually works on the weekends.
We were seated and handed the usual brown, sticky, well-worn menus. I was going to get "the usual", a Chicksilog. But as we sat, the young lady handed us this additional menu. "Zarlitos Family Restaurant Secret Poke Menu" it says.
Along with the poke on one side, it also lists....good lord....Poke Fries? Shades of Pokiritto; Poke Burritos? Even more hilarious, something called "Hashbrown Thing". Hashbrowns topped with spicy tuna, Spam, and an egg? I think this takes the poke on everything fad a bit too far.....
Somehow, the Missus talked me into ordering the Pokesilog ($9).
Ok, so the Missus got the egg, which She enjoyed, the rice was hard and not so good. You know what I think about the so-called "Seaweed Salad", but the Missus had no qualms about that and the Tuna Scrape; you know, the stuff they put into that spicy tuna roll you get at those gringo sushi shops; probably from True World Foods, was nice and spicy. That was a large batch of surimi...all fine. I chose the Spicy Garlic Poke, which was perhaps a bit too sweet, but I couldn't complain about the quality of the fish on this visit. And only nine bucks.....take that "Chi-poke" shop!
The menu is currently only available from 8am to 2pm during weekends.
And, if you actually do try that "Hashbrown Thing", tell me about it, ok? I'm probably going back to my Chicksilog next time.

The Fire Spot Coming to Convoy:
I noticed that some work was going on at one of the shops in that strip mall with the worst parking on Convoy. So I took a quick look and found that something called "The Fire Spot" was taking the Print Shop's place.
Couldn't find much online.
So your guess is as good as mine......hot pot? Sichuan? Meat Skewers?
I guess we'll find out soon enough.

My favorite license plate frame of the week....or maybe year:
Obviously a very proud mom!
Is the 'C' supposed to be a 'G' or am I supposed to add an 'R':
I noticed this sign while waiting at the traffic light on the corner of Convoy and Clairemont Mesa.
I never noticed this sign before, but am pretty sure it's been here for a while. You'd think they'd fix it, right?
It did have me thinking what the correct spelling should be....'Massage' or add an 'r' and it becomes 'Massacre'.....
And then I got this texted to me:
Wow, who knew.....
Though I did ask the question; shouldn't it be 2 eggs and 1 wiener?
Hope you're having a great weekend!
3 eggs if it's polyorchid

Jeez another food joint in that strip mall. They really need to do something about the parking situation there.

I know Junichi...the worst parking lot on Convoy and that's saying a lot!
