After a few months of trying to get together to celebrate our December birthdays, Kitkatz and I were finally able to meet this last weekend. She took the train to Union Station. I picked her up and we headed out to the Griffith Park Observatory. We hiked up the Mt. Washington trail and had a great view of the city. The sky was a little hazy but the air was fresh and it was a nice warm day. After visiting the observatory we drove near downtown Los Angeles and went to Phillipe's, a restaurant famous for it's french dipped sandwiches and fabulous pie! It is always great to see my friend Kitkatz! Here's a photo of her.

I'm late to this party but Happy Birthday you guys!  Thank you for sharing the picture!  I absolutely love Phillipe's french dips - I'm so jealous.  I used to get them when my Dad would bring me and my mom to LA on a Saturday to do some shopping.  What did you think of the sandwich, KitKatz?  Did you get a double dip?  Did you slather on mustard?  How about you, Okarol, how do you get them?  I'm so craving one of those now...

We loved the sandwiches - KitKatz's hot tip was to add the cole slaw to the sandwich, and we had spicy mustard too. Next time I am going to get mine double dipped! YUM!

Next time I head to Southern California, I'm going to have to see if anyone wants to meet me at Tito's Tacos in honor of Epoman.  I looked at the pictures of him and Goofynina eating those great looking tacos and I just thought, "Why haven't I gone there yet?  Oh yeah, Southern California traffic..."  Well next time, damn the torpedos, I'm going.  And on the way home I'm getting a double beef dip, plenty of mustard, and I'm throwing the slaw on there too.  Of course, I can only take a bite about 2 bites, but they'll be darn good bites.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
