Clover Coffee revisited

gas prices

 

I forget the source of this graph, but I give them full credit. I'm realizing now that I had read this wrong. I thought it showed Washington state as the most expensive at $6.71, but scrutiny of the photo and the color gradient suggest it's actually $5.71 there, putting California in the top spot at $6.03.

noodle house with a view

My view while sitting inside the Ojai Noodle House. I forgot to mention that Mrs. just received a vaccine so this trip to the noodle house was intended to help offset any possible side effects.

Ojai Noodle House inside

First time eating inside and it was a different experience. It was pleasant, but in a different way. The Hibiscus & Star Anise (above) was as delicious as it was beautiful. The Bun noodles however seemed different - maybe a touch less substantial? But the added crispy tofu roll made up for that. Otherwise we were left to ponder the meaning of the word NHAU ("noodle house alternative universe"??)

toaster

Sometimes you keep the toaster but get rid of the box. But you photograph the box before getting rid of it. I must say it's a decent toaster.
