...And Digging In On New Year's Day

1/4/2017

2 Comments

 
...Continued from yesterday: 
      We welcomed in 2017 with a big New's Day breakfast feast,

...in which everyone lent a hand,
Picture
Picture
Picture
     On the menu was delicious mushroom and spinach  scrambled eggs made by Justin,
Picture
Picture
oven-fried potatoes,
...spinach salad,
Picture
Picture
...and fruit salad.
Picture
     After breakfast the rest of the family went for a walk to downtown Manhattan Beach along the Chip Path,
...a beautiful walking trail that runs parallel to the ocean along Manhattan Beach.
Picture
Picture
...while I stayed home to do some cleaning up and blogging.
     However I did later join the family downtown,

Picture

...which was crowded with strollers out enjoying the lovely weather.
     We had lunch at The Kettle,
Picture
...which was also crowded,
...inside,
Picture
Picture
...as well as outside  with people waiting for a seat.
       We eventually snagged a nice booth,
Picture
Picture
...with a pretty view.
     The food was good, as it always is at The Kettle,
Picture
Picture
...including the fluffy pancakes that I ordered.
    
This was the first time I was ever served pancakes with a sprig of parsley.  Could this be an LA thing, I wondered, a reminder that I really should be eating something green instead of this stack of white flour (which is kind of a dirty word in this health-conscious part of the world)?

Picture
     After breakfast Justin and Maria drove the girls home while Tom and I walked from downtown,
Picture
Picture
...back to the Chip Path and towards home.
Picture
Picture
    When dinner time rolled around a few hours later I fixed us
some oven-fried chicken,
Picture
...and spaghetti squash topped with tomatoes, and green onions and garlic sauteed in olive oil,
Picture
Picture
...which everyone agreed rounded out the day nicely.
