Street food

 

Hi Natty!  How are you, Honey?  I sure hope everything is going well for you.  I think you are going to do just fine inshaAllah.  What's for dinner?  You know I always think of what you eat.  I've been reflecting on what I usually eat, and I find that I've been eating street food most of the time.  Even when I cook for myself, I eat street food.  It's the damned budget, plus the time constraint.  I haven't had sushi for a long time.  Whether it be local or Western street food, that's what I've been making and eating lately.  Boy, that BBQ lamb sure looks good.  I had to give up BBQ because it was making me bloated, but I think it's almost time to break that fast.  Chicken is the cheapest way to go, but now I'm thinking about lamb...  That Japanese lady in the video does all of the tasting on camera.  She must enjoy her job, as would I if I were in her situation, but she used to be a lot thinner.  Now that there's a pandemic going on, she's had time to take a break from street food.

You can see more encampments and trash from this angle of the video tour of the Venice Beach Boardwalk.  That doesn't stop the summer crowd, though.  I've seen long lines at restaurants in front of the north parking lot where there is a large concentration of tents.  It's as if the homeless are part of the view, with a strange kind of celebrity status.  We can thank YouTube for that.
