Peg and I are off to celebrate Chinese New Year in Chinatown tonight. The Chinese restaurants are supposed to be more zoo-like than usual and, of course, nothing much is open in Little Tokyo on a Sunday (and it seems in bad form to go to a Japanese restaurant on Chinese New Year) so we are just going to a club in Chinatown that Peg likes (Mountain Bar). This isnt a particularly Chinese-y looking pig to celebrate the year of the pig, but he is cute and pink. Nice tail.
I had the best Fourme D'Ambert cheese today acquired from the local cheese shop rather annoyingly named "Say Cheese". Despite the hokey name, it is rather impressive. The impressively large man behind the counter made me try it first because it is soaked in Sauternes and some people dont like that. It definitely doesnt taste like a normal blue cheese, but has a nice smooth sweetness. Mr. Cheesy Giant did neglect to tell me how much it cost until after I had committed to a slice. Gulp. For true cheeseophiles only.
Caught up on the new season of Lost this weekend and...I'm still lukewarm. Although that Dominic guy is seriously hot. I'm a sucker for a Scottish accent.
