Last Friday Tom and I flew into Los Angeles for a visit with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandbabies. No matter how many times I've traveled from Columbus to Los Angeles, for me there's still always something about arriving, stepping outside the airport terminal, ... and feeling and smelling the balmy air - I swear the West Coast smells differently from the East Coast though I can't describe how, - that gives me a warm, enchanted feeling , as if I've just stepped into Paradise. Or at least one its suburbs. So good does it feel to be in Los Angeles that Tom and I upon arriving generally The game-plan for this visit was that we would spend the following week - this past week - baby-sitting our two grand daughters. But as soon as we dropped off our luggage at the house we headed over to our granddaughters' day care to pick them up early and get a head start on our week together, starting by spoiling our dinners with a 3 pm linner (the meal between lunch and dinner, right?) at Johnny Rockets, a place that my granddaughters, aged 3 and 5, found fascinating, Turned out, though, that we didn't spoil our dinners that first day after all, so much was there to do for the rest of the afternoon, Oven Roasted Tiny Potatoes 1 bag of tiny gold potatoes 2 tablespoons of olive oil Preheat oven to 400 degrees Mix the olive oil and garlic salt in a bowl. Add the potatoes to the bowl and roll them around in the oil and salt. Bake on a foil-covered sheet for 20 minutes. Turn the potatoes over and bake for another 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are soft inside when pierced with a fork. Enjoy! ...to revitalize us after a long day - which started two time zones ago for Tom and I -
