Californios
Random Thursday dinner. Andrea has been wanting to come back here. I certainly enjoyed our previous 3 times we ate here, but didn’t love it as much as she did, but this time I definitely did. We did plan to come here during Dia De Los Muertos, but it turned out that way. We wanted…

The Shota

Penny Roma
We didn’t feel like cooking today, so we decided to try Penny Roma, at which we’ve been meaning to eat ever since they opened. Flour+Water has a pasta shop from which we had purchased a few pasta dinners since the pandemic, so we were familiar with many of the pasta dishes and Penny Roma is…
