California Sun

I happened to be in SoCal for work this week, and I wish I could tell you that I spent a bunch of time at the beach, or shopping on Rodeo or star-watching in Hollywood. Instead I can honestly say the closest I got to Hollywood was passing a Universal Studios lot on the way to lunch, and I didn't make it to Disneyland, but I did stay at a hotel 5 miles from Legoland.

Still, there's something about seeing Palm Trees literally EVERYWHERE you go that is a little relaxing.  Oh, and that bright thing in the sky blinding me?  That's the sun which I feel like I haven't really seen in 3 months.

Matzo Ball Soup at Jerry's Deli

I did get the opportunity for some great shady Thai food and a Cali staple called Jerry's Deli - great kosher Jewish food, and probably some of the better Matzo Ball Sousp I've had in the past few years.  With a menu containing over 600 options, it was pretty tough to decide on just one item.

Golden Tidbit:

I bought these Mazzy Flip Flops from Banana Republic last year and they are still one of the most comfortable pairs I own.  I got them on clearance for about $15, but you can get then today from BR for $39.50. They take a little time to wear in but are an easy way to bring a little Gold to your summer wardrobe.
