The Science Center Museum, Near USC

The Science Center near USC has a new exhibit about dogs.  It is an interactive exhibit good for children about twelve and under.  Some things my son learned were how dogs originated from wives, and how people and wolves had similar social systems.  My son and I go to the museum annually and look forward to it all year.  🐶

Eat and dine at The Derby in Arcadia, CA

A few weeks ago my son and I dined at The Derby in Arcadia, CA in Southern California.  This place was founded in the 1920’s by a horse jockey, as the restourant is near the racetrack. The Derby is old steakhouse with large leather booths, someone was playing the piano when we were there, lots of old racetrack memorabilia everywhere. It made me think of an old friend, Louie, who used to love steak houses and racetracks.  🐎

Eat- Ramen Shop, Rockridge District, Oakland

The Ramen shop is one of the few late night dining options in the Rockridge District of Oakland, CA.  Yummy nasturtium butter miso ramen, with ground pork belly, shoyu-marinated egg, grilled zucchini, flageolet beans, lacinato kale, purple cabbage, and shungiko, $20.5.  My neighbors frequent this place on a date night, and the husband loves the nasturtium butter miso ramen and he also likes the pork and shrimp dumplings.  A plate of three dumplings is $9.00.  Adding a pork and shrimp dumpling to any ramen is $3.00.  For my friend, when she dies a date Night with her husband, she likes the green garlic veggie shoyu ramen, with shiitake and king oyster mushrooms, salt-cured egg, roasted carrots, broccolini, daikon, and frilly mustard greens at $19.50.  They love the music!
