A veritable plethora of scribbled tsatskes

Valley Moment vol. 2:

1:30 PM - Chatsworth, CA (the suburb where Subvervia works): Post-potluck (just 'coz we can!) lunch. Too sleepy to do anything, but wondering about the dietary choices we make in life. All the Filipinos ('cept for moi - I brought carrot cake) sported the classic Filipino "must have at gatherings where there is food" dishes: adobo, pancit, lumpia. However, did we eat that stuff? Nah...we were all excited about the....CHILI DOGS!! WOO HOO!!!

Oh, and don't forget to save room for the lasagna.

BURP.

Valley Moments:

Saturday afternoon – Seafood City. Shoppping at the Filipino supermarket while basking in the afterglow of a frenzied Filipino food fest. Yes, there ARE leftovers, either for an uncle watching football at home, OR for lunch on Monday. Woo hoo!! Impulse decision to send a care package to Groundhog. Standing in front of the tinned fish aisle (“milkfish stewed with peppers, Spanish style!”) and calling on my smell phone to ask Mrs. Groundhog, “so, does he like his tuna adobo-, caldereta- or menudo-flavored?”

Saturday afternoon, corner of Balboa and Roscoe. Waiting for the light to turn green while staring at the McDonald’s SNACK sign below the Home Depot sign across the street. So, is that where all the sawdust goes? To make the hamburger buns?? But – I digress - beautiful sunny afternoon – gentle breeze and puffy cotton clouds in the sky. Window rolled down to let in the sunshine. Subvervia singing at the top of her lungs and dancing in the driver’s seat to “Girl I’ll House You” by the Jungle Brothers. “You in my hut now, MAH HUT!”

Priceless little moments of glee and tranquility.
