I may be addicted to Blanco del Oro grapefruits.

otana: That's OK honey, this is LA. There will be a clinic for it, somewhere.

... I don't need help. I need more yellow grapefruit! :3

food, random

At least they're easy to find here. :D

Re: Nef

How about somewhere around Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo? Or the equivalent on the 5? :) Lots of nice crossovers between the 101 and 5 there anyways. ^_^

Love you, sis!

Would you like to try to have lunch/some other meal while we do the switch, or would you like to keep the trip as short as possible for Nef?

I think we're all gonna need a meal after +/- 150 miles of driving! We'll just have to make sure the car Nef is in stays cool. The I-5 takes considerably less time, though it can be a rougher drive because of the monotony. I'm good for that if you are - I'll take shorter over scenic, in this case.

I mapped out two stops along the I-5:

Kettleman City In-N-Out
33464 Bernard Dr, Kettleman City, CA

Red Robin
25016 W Dorris Ave, Coalinga, CA

The In-N-Out has extremely high reviews online, though I know otana wasn't impressed the last time she was at the chain. I've never been to this one though.

The Red Robin is a place we've been to more than once; both the food quality and the prices will be higher. ;P

I'm open to any other options you can find, too :)

The I-5 is totally fine with me -- I've got music and should have an audiobook or two by then (yay for mp3 downloads!). Speaking of audiobooks, you have seen this, right? :) and this? Bwahahahhhaaa! :D

To be honest, neither of those would work very well because I'm not eating most meat. Fish is okay, but not poultry and definately not the red meat that makes up burgers.

What about something like a Denny's? (I love their veggie and cheese omelettes). There's one in Coalinga, and one in Lost Hills (and I'd be happy to drive that little bit further), and I would be pleased to treat you.

The addresses:
25026 W Dorris Ave
Coalinga, CA 93210

14696 Aloma St
Lost Hills, CA 93249

It's unfortunate there isn't a Fresh Choice in that area. :( Sigh...

Anyways, love you!

*wibble* I... I wub you...

*ahem* Er, sorry, I react that way to anyone who gives me food... ^_^;

Lost Hills would be really nice, actually. The fewer miles I put my car through at the moment, the better!

Let's seee... Is Saturday or Sunday better for you? And do you have a preference for meeting time? We'll be making it around lunchtime one way or the other, but we can make it earlier or later on the lunchtime scale...

You and me both. I have been eating like 3 a day! I just bought a whole case of them! They are the worlds best grapefruits!

OMG, I bought a bag at last weekend's farmers' market. They aren't as good as the ones I get from Mitsuwa or even Nijiya, but they are still Blancos!

So THAT'S where the cinnamon pull apart in the fridge came from. I was wondering about that. :P
