A Date in Highland Park

Severo and I both had Saturday off so we went on a trek to Eagle Rock and Highland Park. A photography show (not that great, so no documentation) in Eagle Rock got us out of the house. Afterwards, Good Girl Dinette in Highland Park was our destination for late lunch and it was fantastic!

Severo ordered:

charred pork rice noodle salad with spring greens,
pickled daikon & carrots,
bean sprouts, basil, and toasted peanuts & shallots

 I ordered:

vegetarian porridge:
brown rice, minced mushroom, napa cabbage, and shallots

roasted oyster mushroom banh mi
served with pickled daikon & carrots, cilantro-maggi mayo,
and spicy fries, seasoned with chilies, garlic, and cilantro

For dessert:

gateau basque with raspberry jam filling and whipped cream

 When we were done, there was a rainbow to the east.

An omen for a happy 2013? Let's hope so!
