Random Munchies

My sister and I had a nice afternoon out yesterday.

Before she got off school, I dropped my car off for maintenance and had breakfast at Jack n' Jill's. I had their house special porridge and some tea. The porridge was great. It was a smooth, creamy mix of different oats and bran. However, like at so many places, the portion was enormous. I finished about a third, and even that took me an hour. I read the paper and made some phone calls while eating, and I still could not eat over half.

My sister met up with me later and we bought some summer gear: a green cardigan for me, some lip gloss for her. We shared a gyro and some spanikopita at some Greek restaurant on 3rd Street Promenade. It's entirely forgettable. Don't go. I forget the name, but the word Greek is written in big red neon "Greeky" letters and it's closer to the Wilshire end of 3rd Street.

We came home to make dinner for everyone (see last post), but not before stopping by Buttercake Bakery for some Easter petit fours. Aren't they adorable? The rabbit is white cake topped by a layer of chocolate ganache and filled with rasberry cream; the pink egg is a plain white cake; and the bunch of eggs on grass is a lemon curd cake with coconut "grass."
