I think of this more as a Sunday check-in. How is everyone doing, physically, and well, mentally as well? I keep wondering how all the FOYs are doing.
On my "mission for groceries" I was wondering how some of the restaurants with long histories on Convoy are doing.....Ichiro came to mind. The entire parking lot at 4344 Convoy was empty, with Tasty Bakery the only business open in the strip mall.
And the sign at Ichiro's..... I think I need to make it a point to get more take-out.....
I took the long way home; wondering what was open in the Linda Vista area.... Thai Papaya had a sign saying that The Original Sab-E-Lee is open seven days a week. Pho Hiep and Grill is closed as is Pho Hoa Huong. The porch where the "old timers" used to hang out and drink coffee had been taken over by a group of homeless folks.
As I drove past Tio Leo's on Morena....for some reason, I always make it a point to check out the signs...….this is what is currently posted.
We've cancelled our upcoming trips...luckily, we're able to either get vouchers or full refunds....one of the Airbnb hosts replied to me saying that though their home is an amazing place to visit; now was not the time. Her son is an Emergency Room Physician and she is ever so worried about him.
I have a ritual of sorts when I return from a long trip. I'll get my fix of if a West Coast Icon. Since we wouldn't be travelling anytime soon, after shopping stop at Mitsuwa, I ordered one of these.
I even got Animal Fries.
Which confirmed, much like the egg at Santouka, that I'm still not sure why folks like the fries at In-N-Out....no matter how much lipstick you put on the pig...…it's still a pig. Still, having one of my Bi-annual visits to In-N-Out was both comforting and sad at the same time.
Hope all is well.....
I'm glad you are doing as well as possible during this crazy time Pam! Glad you enjoyed Aqui es Texcoco - we haven't been since the move to the larger space....will be a definite stop when the outbreak is over.
