While having my coffee this morning,
roasted tomatoes and steamed artichokes for dinner tonight. To make sure they would be dinner suitable had a sampling for lunch along with the left-over corn salad before heading out to explore the
Ballona Creek Bike Path. I had no idea how far it goes--but at the moment it ends near the new
Culver City Metro Station. An extension goes right by the previously elusive
Hayden Tract and ended right across the street from
Surfas.
I'd been thinking I might have to stop at In 'n' Out since I was in the neighborhood, but given the proximity of the Surfas cafe, which I'd never tried, there was no way not to park my bike and go inside. I ordered half of their "ultimate grilled cheese sandwich," white cheddar, fontina, blue cheese with mayo on pecan raising bread with a small salad, and while I was waiting, wandered into the store, for the first time in years.
My goal for the day was to empty the refrigerator, and not add new items, but I couldn't resist buying a tub of
burrata when I learned it was only delivered on Saturday (this of course felt like fate--I've since learned that Bay Cities sells it for a few dollars less--and if you happen to be in El Monte you can buy it at the
Gioia factory for almost half the price. And how could I not buy a little slice of Humboldt Fog once I was informed that there was a price war somewhere in fogland--and it had never been cheaper. Of course I had to get a baguette to go with (what could be better--or at least more French-- than biking with a baguette in a basket?)
