Sunday Quote
September 11th...
"Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “ — President George W. Bush, December 11, 2001

Last weekend
Wow this week flew by! It's Saturday and I have yet to give you my weekend update. The long weekend was much needed, we did not have any pre-planned activities for labor day weekend. Saturday we got invited to a USC game, the first of the season, with my friend Zabra and her boyfriend Ray. It was my first college football game, very exciting, even though James had explain everything to me, I won't pretend I'm that knowledgable in sports. It was a sea of crimson and gold! Very exciting! To top it off it was a beautiful day out, the weather warm and the sun was shining!
After the game, we headed over to Wurstkuche http://www.wurstkucherestaurant.com/ in DTLA.
James had the duck and jalapeño sausage and I had the turkey chicken chillies and cilantro sausage. Have choices of two different toppings and they provide different mustards to use. You order upfront and then walk through a long hallway to a lounge area with a bar that serves Belgian and German beers. Super tasty!
Can't wait to go back!

Sunday Quote (lyrics)
"Forever Young"
May god bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every run
May you stay, forever young
May you stay forever young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay forever young

I found this article on the LA Times Blog and this one on LA Weekly, both worth the read.

Under the weather
Wasn't feeling well this monday morning, my stomach was achey, so I decided to stay home. I prepared myself a nice hot drink that my mom used to make for me on days like these when I was a kid. Super easy to make.
Fresh mint leaves (from my garden)
Juice of a lemon wedge
Honey
Hot water
So soothing...
P.S. Need to get better because I have concert tickets for Adele tonight. I've been waiting too long for this show, wouldn't miss it for the world!
Happy Monday!

I heart scooters!
I so want a scooter! A vintage one;) I would love to zip around town on any one of these!
Just like Audrey did on A Roman Holiday! Perhaps one day, maybe even in Italy too;)

Lazy Sunday
Afterwards we decided that we stop at Blockbuster and rent some movies. Haven't done that in years, I truly enjoyed looking through the library of DVDs and picking out a movie. Movies are only 50cents to rent on Sundays. So we left with 4 and we watched all of them.
For dinner, we had spaghetti and meatballs, but not sure any meatballs, Calabrian meatballs. My friend Natalie made these for me from a family recipe. Although she didn't give me the recipe, she told me what some of the ingredients were, so I googled recipes with raisin meatballs. I found this recipe , used all the ingredients, not exact measurements and it turned out delicious!
