Today there was a change in the sleep schedule- I got up early with my mom to visit her friend/seamstress. Since we didn't find previously find her reunion worthy top, we took a trip to JoAnns fabrics and found a sheer print that would work. Can't quite remember if I had breakfast, but if I did, it was probably a bowl of raisin bran crunch.
After exhausting the store for fabric options we were conveniently next door to Santa Ramen. It's the highest touted ramen (to my knowledge) in the bay, or at least the peninsula. This was my second time here, so I gave it another chance- but it was still no comparison to my LA standbys Shin Sen Gumi Hakata Ramen or Asa Ramen in Torrance. The noodles in my tonkotsu ramen were fairly thick but not too special. The broth was allright, but overall...just not my favorite. Definitely can pass in a crunch, but nothing I would ever crave...
There are still others I need to try...
Later at home, after a 4 hour nap (man, my sleep schedule is out of whack!) it was a makeshift "burrito" dinner with store bought pre-marinated tri tip, tortillas, mixed veggies, salsa, cheese, sour cream, guac, and cilantro. Not too bad, though very "unique" and healthy-ish tasting.
A few Russell Stover chocolate parfait (milk, dark, white) squares for dessert. Definitely tasted a difference- was hoping for the crunch of the shell like in Ghiradelli, but i guess you do get what you pay for. It was tasty, at least- and more importantly, satisfied my chocolate craving.
