You can buy Hi-chew at Costco now. :mrgreen:

Yup. I'm finally going to grab a bite at one of the participating restaurants next week. It'll be the first time I've actually had a chance to take advantage of LA Restaurant week. :victory:

Wow, that sounds great!

Yes, it should be fun. I'm back at the gym so this'll be a nice treat.

I'm meeting a friend for lunch at the Hotel Sofitel's "Simon LA."

3 course lunch for 22 bucks at a fine dining establishment is a good bargain, if you ask me.

I was impressed by the pricing. Especially for the lunches. :victory:

Yeah, me too. I think the price is quite reasonable for a three course meal. Mind you I obviously don't eat like that normally but I'm certain this upcoming lunch will beat the pouch of Starkist tuna I had for lunch today. :beaten:

Nothing like a boiling cauldron of spicy tofu for breakfast to combat the cold.

Those were probably extra cost flavorings. ;)

Exactly. :)

After hopping on the treadmill this morning at the crack of dawn, I indulged a bit at Bottega Louie in downtown for brunch.

Portobello fries with aioli and traditional Eggs Benedict. I think I'm done for the day. :sweat: Dayem good though. :beaten:

^ Hmm, quite the continental meal after a workout... Looks tasty, despite the eggs.

LOL. :mrgreen:

I love eggs benedict. But we had a nice sunday lunch ourselves, with rare London broil with a Scandinavian vegebale casserolle. Delicious. :mrgreen:

:hehe: I know you're not the egg man. It was good but I'll confess I'm still full. Which is a good thing! Cut down on the calories I guess. :P
