Back to Los Angeles. After a breakfast pancake made by Rinat as part of her pre-work, pre-school, four burner morning spectacular, I was picked up by Gene and Linda for the trip home. After a quick stop at La Note, for coffees and croissants for the road, we picked up Joanie, who was also heading home and were on our way.
Retracing our steps, our first stop was at The Harris Ranch to continue our meat buying activities. I bought a pound of hamburger meat, and a small steak whose name I instantly forgot as well as an excellent looking bunch of asparagus tips before we piled back into the car for our return visit to In 'n' Out. Since our first visit, I'd done a bit of research on the secret menu. As noted a few days ago, I'd long been familiar with "animal style" cheeseburgers--my regular order--but had not known (oh there was so much I hadn't known about the secret menu)
that you can order well-done fries. This time I got my cheeseburger animal style with those well-done fries--and all my previous complaints about the fries melted away. As good as they were, I kindly shared them with Linda, Joanie, and Gene--they'd had all ordered the bun-less variation (protein style), but were happy to nibble on a few carbs.
Picking up my car at Gene and Linda's, Joanie and I stopped at Trader Joe's on the way home for a few basics.
Sated from all that weekend eating (and knowing there was more to come), I reprised a variation of Raphie's salad-romaine with chick peas, tomatoes and green onions before treating myself to a sunset walk on the beach followed by a (also treated myself to a dish of chocolate and coffee ice cream--in memory of my mother--who I swear ate close to a pint of each (Schrafft's) every night.
