This is going to be a J post, because he is the lover of bars and pubs. We took a trip to Main Street in downtown Santa Monica Saturday night, just to enjoy the nice summer evenings and see what was going on. Having eaten only soup and mashed potatoes all day, J was pretty hungry by the time we got to the area around 9:00 p.m. We walked around and decided to try Rick's for the first time.
J was sticking to soft foods, so he ordered a black bean soup. We actually spent a few minutes mashing all the beans with our spoons so that it was even mushier than this. It was a good soup, if a bit mild.
I had wings, which were actually pretty bad. I love vinegar, but these were way too salty and way too vinegary. I couldn't finish the last two. But good news is J actually ate some chicken! I broke it into tiny pieces for him so he could get some meat.
I had Blackthorn cider, which was dry and flavorful. I like it a lot!
Funny bar signs are always a plus.
And, since this is a post all about J, shiny new shoes! We've been on the lookout for tux shoes, and today we found some beautiful Via Spigas. I'm actually jealous. I love Via Spiga's women's shoes, but I've never been able to find a pair on sale! J totally lucked out on these, and now they're stowed away in the closet for weddings and holiday parties. They're his first pair of designer shoes!

Having wisdom teeth out sucks the most. I wish I could share with you all the amazing things I found to eat when mine were out, but sadly, I was on a similar soup, mashed potatoes and yogurt diet. Oh, and big blocks of tofu baked in various marinades. Would scallops ceviche-style work? Or are they too stringy? They are wonderfully packed with protein...
Nice Shoes!! Two tips!
You can get BIG bottles of black thorn at TJs... fun at parties as an interesting mixer! :D
Also, Nordies Rack here gets a TON of Via Spiga shoes. I have the cutest mules with lazer cut leather I've been loving this summer! :D
