Magic Hour Tea

It would be correct to say we spent a magic hour at Magic Hour Tea in Ojai. This pleasant space gets overlooked, and shockingly so on a Friday when half of Los Angeles filled up the rest of the plaza. Oh well, that just meant a more peaceful interlude of well-crafted tea for us.

Cajé corner

The corner in Cajé where I sat for the first time, waiting for my drink. The design here is mostly good, except for a few narrow areas by the busy entrance.

new improved BMG

The new improved Banh-Mi Grill, now known as Pho TNT Banh-Mi Grill. Photos taken while waiting on my takeout order. Who knew that they now have a big seating area? Next time...

Grape-Nuts

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Grape-Nuts is the best mainstream American cereal - no added sugar or color, not even genetic modification. Not one of those fad cereals from our childhood (with dyes dissolving into the milk), but a cereal designed to last decades, even centuries. Created in 1897 by C.W. Post (whose daughter Marjorie Merriweather Post had a home across the road from my elementary school that was then a college called C.W. Post).
