I hit a wall last night…the DEER IN HEADLIGHTS sorta of feeling where everything got slow really slow like slow motion type of slow..I got caught looking, reading and drooling about food blogs and the amazing pictures of food…I was in FoodPorn land last night for about 3 hours last night..it was the only thing I could do was to at food and make a list of yummy local places in los angeles that my brother and i have to try before he leaves to teach English in Korea w his girlfriend in September. I am salivating. I am thankful. I really loved the fast. I love food. I will enjoy my last 36 hours. My body feels great and I will incorporate a summer diet from this experience of juicing in the morning and having a meal for dinner or lunch (always with a salad or green vegetable) and juicing again or making one of my homemade shakes with raw cashews, frozen bananas, coconut, almond milk, dates and ice…so good…I love..so much energy and flavor.

There is an extensive restaurant list below the pics!!! enjoy the food porn…yes, i love mom and pop whole in the walls with souls as big as the places they came from love the stories, the passion, the dreams, the life of family and community that builds these dreams
