The Avacado House

Ever heard of The Avocado House? I hadn't either until I drove by it a while back. Right as I was driving by, my friend was looking on Yelp for a place to eat and it popped up so I made a legal U-turn and we pulled into the parking lot. What originally caught my eye was the building - it's an old, OLD, gorgeous house. Well, it was a house until the late 1990's. They have a blog (which doesn't seem to be updated often) and they got good reviews on Yelp but wait...I'm getting ahead of myself!

We, parked and walked inside and were given two menus. We decided to sit out on the front porch because it was awesome (the porch) and it was gorgeous outside.



We sat there for a little while waiting for someone to take our order and I was admiring the place when my friend got a phone call so while I was waiting, I struck up a conversation with a man at the next table and I asked him if the food was good. He nodded vigorously while chewing and then asked me what I had ordered.

"Um, nothing yet..."

"You have to go inside and place your order at the counter."

"Oh....thanks!"

I held up the menu and pointed to the chicken salad sandwich and my friend nodded in agreement so I got up and ordered our food.



We had a GREAT lunch! We split the sandwich and I am so glad we did because it was huge! It also came with two cookies for each of us! But guess what? I still wanted to order some bread pudding. Yum....so I did. Oh, and if you're wondering why I didn't take a picture of my food, it's because I was so hungry, I completely forgot! oops...

While I was waiting, I checked out the inside of the house...



They do catering, too, it seems.


As we were leaving, I took the following shots.





If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend The Avocado House. Not only is it gorgeous, but the food is good. I will be back!

Upside down Christmas Trees?

Image
We interrupt our Disneyland visit to bring you a few pics from Tom's Farms . Ever heard of it? Unless you live in Southern California, probably not. It's a neato keen place and I really dig it. I had not been there in 10 years so it was high time I paid them a visit. They have tons of outdoor seating and it's a great place to people watch. I had a great bacon cheeseburger and then walked off my lunch by window shopping. A life sized Santa! (And he looks a bit creepy the way he's standing there. "Hey baby.." Ever seen an upside down Christmas tree? Me either! I decided to take pictures of all the trees... Look! Another upside down Christmas tree. Here's a twist - HALF of an upside down Christmas tree hung on the wall! I kinda like it. These are ginormous ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I'm already planning a return trip to Tom's Farms. I've always wanted a sleigh bed. Ain't he cute??? There is a big can

Disneyland Trash Cans

Yes Folks, trash cans! Do you know where these two beauties are? You'll find them as soon as you come through the gates at Disneyland. This should be easy to figure out - Adventureland! How about these? Hmmm??? New Orleans Square! Here's a trick question: Which two lands share the same style of trash can??? You can find these two in Frontierland. Now we're in Fantasyland. Still in Fantasyland but wait!!! The area around It's A Small World has it's very own trash can theme! Tomorrowland!!! OK all you hot shots... WHERE is this MYSTERY trash can???? Do these look familiar? They should. Critter Country has the same theme as Frontierland. I know what you're thinking...you're thinking that I've already posted these and I'm trying to trick you. HA! I have not already posted these! If you look closely, these differ slightly from the trash cans in New Orleans Square. THESE are in the area next to the Haunted

Getting back into the swing of things...

Image
It's been a rough couple of days... I came back to work only to be told that I will no longer have a job as of February 1st! Ya, it was a big shocker to me, too. That being said, everything else is back to "normal" and I will begin posting on a regular basis again. Below is a little video I put together taken on my last night in Florida. There is a wonderful little town called Ocala, which I dearly love. I am providing links to two sites, one here and one here , so you can have a little information about the place. OOPS! I just realized that I had posted some of the previous video earlier in the week. Oh well.. at least this one contains new footage, LOL. Peter said I tired him how SO MUCH that I can't go back to Florida for at least two years. hee hee hee
