Modern Chicks

Chickens that is.  I have this notion of keeping chickens so I can have fresh eggs in the morning.  Of course I'm pretty sure the coyotes around here would more likely have fresh chickens for dinner, but how cool are these modern chicken coops?!  I could so see one of these in my yard.

Food Truck Bonanza!

It's a food truck extravaganza tomorrow - Thursday the 26th - here at the Fireman's Credit Union in Los Angeles at 815 Colorado Blvd just outside of Pasadena.  They have a food truck at their site everyday, but tomorrow they are holding their "Food Truck Extravaganza and Sidewalk Sale" to benefit the Fire Family Foundation.  I met Allison who is in charge of organizing the food trucks and her enthusiasm was catching.  I sampled the turkey sandwich from Meet N' Potatoes today and it was quite tasty.  The sauce for the fries today was truffle aioli. Um, yum!  The Meet N' Potatoes Truck is there twice a month.  Cupcakes a Go Go was there today too.  And, yes, we sampled one of those.  The coconut was delicious.

You can give your email address to the receptionist and Allison will kindly add you to their email blast so you will be in the know about what trucks will be there what days.  The Kogi truck has been known to make an appearance so it's good to be in the know.

If you're in the area Thursday and can make it, stop by and have a tasty lunch and help support your local Firefighters. If you've been following my blog you know how I feel about my local Firefighters.

The trucks that will be there:  Grill Em All, The Comfort Truck, Mandoline Grill, Shaved Ice.  From 11-3.  I heard from a customer in line today that Grill Em All is the best.  That's what he said.

All I'm sayin' is that I can walk over from my house.  Jealous?!
