Lomo Saltado and Pamela Anderson
So it's a lazy Sunday morning here in LA....and I am recouping what was a long and fun day yesterday. Got up and got to the airport in the pouring torrents of rain, thinking in my head it will be sunny in LA it will be sunny in LA...Nadia picked me up from the airport and it was actually raining hahah on me...
But before she picked me up I was accosted by three different people. The first guy was wearing these huge diamond cross earrings and this huge diamond cross necklace and he comes up to me and says 'I am raising funds for a domestic violence program. It's Christian (yes, I did catch on to that). It's suburban (did he mean to say urban?). I told him I was not interested and he told me my smile was enough. Good to know.
Then this other dude walks up to me to raise money for a homeless shelter.
Then I am standing in this long crowd of people and this other guy makes his way over to me and asks me where he can find a cab. I look around me and try to figure out why I look like the person who knows what is going on. So I look at him, I look up at the sign above our heads with the word taxi and a big yellow arrow, and then I tell him 'I guess it is that way.' Maybe I have a sophisticated California air about me. Maybe that's why he asked. :)
Nadia and I met a friend of hers for a Peruvian lunch at this place called Marios....I told them of course they have to order for me and they ordered 'lomo saltado' which is this beef and fried potato stir fry. It was quite good, though the beef was a little chewy.
We went home to Nadia's place and she had to work on something lawyerish which I still don't understand, and I fell asleep on her couch. Then I woke up and we had lomo saltado again for dinner. Except then we both were feeling a bit nauseous after the second helping. And to think, there's still more in the refrigerator!
We met up with a friend from Rice and went and had the absolutely worst coffee drink I have ever had hands down, enhanced I think by this nasty new sugar substitute called Stevia. All I know is it's made from a leaf and it tastes the way one would imagine tree sap tastes. Uh! We walked up down this street and passed all these clubs where people were hanging outside and there was this big bouncer guy to the left of me calling 'Pamela' 'Pamela' and looking behind my back but I kept walking and Bahram was like, dude, you just passed right in front of Pamela Anderson.
Hmmm, fascinating image.
Then because we all had this Stevia crappy taste in our mouth (me and Nadia with the additional lomo saltado undertone) we went to a deli that was open late. Don't ask me how but Nadia and I ordered a fudge sundae and it was the absolutely worst sundae I have ever eaten. Yes there is a theme!! At this point it was way too late at night but we were all bizarrely wired from the late night coffee (and I kept reminding them that I was actually in a different time zone).
That's all, to home and bed. Prediction of more showers today! Haha
