During my hike today, I expressed my thoughts on how important it is for one’s emotional well-being to have things or plans to look forward to. That being said, here’s the list so far:

FOOD
1.) The Stinking Rose in Beverly Hills’ Restaurant Row, motto: “We season our garlic with food!”
2.) Papadakis Taverna in San Pedro, Greek food and belly-dancing, opa!
3.) dim sum (I dunno, anywhere)
4.) Korean soon tofu (I about fell over when my hiking buddy said, “I like tofu.” I told him how non-Asians complain to me that tofu didn’t taste like anything. He said, “Sure it does! It takes on whatever flavor of the food you cook it with!” That’s exactly what my dad says.)
5.) Taiwanese breakfast?

PLACES TO VISIT
1.) UCLA campus and surrounding Westwood Village in Los Angeles
2.) The Huntington Library, Art Collection & Botanical Gardens in Pasadena (oh darn it, I just saw that the mansion is under renovation indefinitely according to their web site)
3.) Glen Ivy in either Brea or Corona
4.) Diamond Bar High School for Bingo some Saturday nite (Vicky, nudge nudge.)

I’m sure I’m missing out on something I’d had running in my head that I’d like to go to or eat in the next few months or so, but this’ll do for now.
