But with a slightly different kind of dog. And restaurant. I took this the other night after eating dinner in a slightly sketchy area adjacent to my hood. This place was one of the ubiquitous “ pollo broasters ” that seem to be 4 to a block. Quite nice actually. Its spit roasted chicken and for a large family you can get a whole chicken with the fixings for a good price. I had just finished a nice meal of 1/4 chicken piled upon a heaping of fresh-cut french fries and along side the strange salads they make here (bad lettuce, cucumbers, beets, a nice creamy dressing) washed down with an old school small glass bottle of Coke (a total of $3.65) and as I got up to leave was greeted by this scene. I was bitten by a beast of a dog in a church garden (does that mean I am a devil incarnate ?) recently on vacation (actually behind the church in the photo from the last post in Chivay) and still have a bit of PTSD. Fucker ripped out a perfect hole in my favorite jeans and got me twice in the thigh (luckily had 3 rabies vaccinations for the work in the jungle). Anyway, this pit bull mutt was scabby, scarred and scary and blocking my path so I took pause. He actually ended up being pretty cute and was harmless. (It’s funny how dogs left to their own devices are pretty nice with people and the ones kept by people can turn menacing)

I can’t remember a restaurant before Lazy Ox Canteen that received so much positive press at its inception. It popped up on Twitter, food blogs, and will already be participating in Dine LA restaurant Week and it is only a few days past its month birthday. Perhaps it is because the Marketing Maven herself, Miss Sauce LA , has helped on the social media and press side.

When I first moved to Japan, I learned how to dine alone. I didn’t know alone at first and when I did start meeting friends, we didn’t get the chance to meet up at every meal so I learned to be comfortable with eating alone. I didn’t cook as much back then as I did now and the ingredients for what I wanted to make were a bit hard (and expensive) to come by so I ate out a lot.

It’s Restaurant Week here in San Diego, which means getting to eat 3-course meals at places for the price of an entree! Even though it’s been raining buckets and gusting wind (so much that they issued tornado warnings for LA, Orange, and San Diego counties), my friend and I braved the elements in the name of trying a new restaurant.

From Gate E18, Hartfield Jackson International Airport I once knew a man who was almost as famous for a poem about airports as he was for his chalkboard drawings, thick plastic glasses, zafu and stories of Julius Caesar. I think of him and Dublin and Dubai as I search for “Dallas- Fort Worth” on the overhead monitor, and sigh loud enough for the capped captain to pause and say “excuse me, m’aam.” I am already homesick and sick at the thought of going home. Here, in the in-between, I am invisible, even though my cowboy boots are scuffing and clicking against the polished faux marble floor and the glassy-eyed taxidermied animals from the continent of Africa are glaring out from behind a pane of glass
