Coffee Crisp!

Josh sent me candy! Poet/comedian/golden eyes Josh Smith sent me a candy bar in the mail! I shit you not, a for reals candy bar from all the way from New York. Its called Coffee Crisp. And it tastes good! I have already eaten half of it and am trying to save it. Which means it’ll be gone in an hour. I love how its says it makes a light snack on the side. Light my ass! it’s the size of an average Black cock. Hey, I worked at a porn shop for seven years. Don’t judge me. Any of you that can get this when you want you are very lucky.

Carniceria Latina

Wrote these so out of order. I started the day with Ms. J. at the park after grabbing some awesome ass food from Carniceria Latina. She had mentioned how good this place was and I was so excited. As soon as we stepped inside I got all excited just smelling everything. I got some chicken empanadas. Oh it was so delicious! I thought the one’s at Lala’s were good. Yeah, they are but they’re nothing like these. Nothing!

Ms. J. got the spinach and cheese ones and beef ones. All of them were good. Yes, even the spinach! I ate it. That happened! We just sat there drinking our awesome sodas on a blanket enjoying the amazing weather eating empanadas. There were also the damned kids with soccer balls, a dog playing catch, and the remote control car powered by gasoline. Carniceria Latina was really good and I really hope to go there again soon!

Porto's

Porto’s is awesome! Ms. J. and I braved literally hundreds of people to get some delicious pastries. We got some guava cream ones and this delicious beef ones. No, I didn’t get pictures of them because they got eaten! The guava ones were so flaky and good. The beef ones made me so happy! Like I mentioned in a previous post, we brought these into The Alcove and snacked on them. When I say there were hundreds of people I’m not kidding. They had to be there for Mother’s Day and the line was out of the door. You have to brave Glendale and the insane ass traffic. But so worth it!

The Alcove

Me and Ms. J. went to The Alcove. I had to have passed this place a hundred times and never saw it. It has a very cool outside area and we sat in the one in back. Everything about this place seemed very chill and nice. I got a white mocha that was so damned good. We snuck some food from Porto’s (which I will write about shortly) and sat there for a long ass time just talking and enjoying our drinks. I would recommended going here if you’re tired of Starbuck’s.

New Drinks I Can't Pronounce!

Materva Verba Mate Soda. All new words for me and a new delicious soda as well. Not new in general but new to me. The only way I could describe the taste was of this snow cone my neighbor when I was little Mr. Bros that was called Popeye flavor. It doesn’t have any particular fruit flavor or anything. Just good. Is good a flavor? It is now! It taste like good!

The next was Jupina. It taste like pineapple. It didn’t have that strong Shasta type taste that burns your nose and throat. It was super good and I had to get both of these because I know when I eat bread I’m gonna drink a lot. Two great new tastes and the day was just starting!

Sake House Miro

Today me and my partner in crime Cam went to this place called Sake House Miro. We tried going there a couple other times and it was closed.  Yeah. Thankfully it wasn’t this time. Its located on La Brea just past Wilshire here in L.A. Or whatever area you wanna call it. Miracle Mile? Bah! On to the review.

We started off with these little spicy cucumber things. “Pretend they’re pickles” Cam told me. I swear she is the only person on Erf that can get me to eat half the shit she does. They were good and not too spicy.

I’m still new to eating sushi so I don’t try and get crazy with it. I have had the pure raw fish ones before but I like to stick with familiar. New scares me. So I got the spicy tuna roll. I have recently been eating at Sushi Cat near my job and they have really good spicy tuna rolls but these were way better. I’m not quite sure what was added but something gave it a little extra kick that was delicious.

I also got the shrimp tempura roll. This is by far my favorite sushi so far. This place made them super thick and by the time I was done I was full. I know. I had no idea that sushi was filling until I had a full plate of it last year with Julia in Pasadena or something. If you’ll notice in the background is Cam’s seaweed salad. It looked like The Man-Thing.

Cam got the V8 sushi. I’m not sure if its because it has something to do with the drink or a car engine. Either way it looked way too damned healthy so I didn’t touch it.

As we were sitting there I wanted to wait to see if I was too full to get the chicken on a stick. Its not called that but whatever. Damn, this was the juiciest chicken I have ever had! It was so good! Yes, it is small but after all the other stuff it was actually more than enough.

And finally Cam wanted me to take a picture of my wasabi since she says I use way too much. “It’s like a paste now! Add some soy sauce!” Nope. Even though it made the back and top  of my brain hurt I enjoyed it. If you are ever in the area and catch them when they’re open head to Sake House Miro. Cool waiters, good service, and about average sushi prices if not a little more but well worth it.
