Just catching up on posts! Question - what is a black and white cookie? And that Grilled Cheese looks amazing - Jefferson and I share an obsession for Grilled Cheese AND Ice Cream :)
All that food sounds delicious and the giant statue of Marilyn is well, enormous! I had also forgotten that she was so very young when she died. Terribly sad.
I read an interesting article about her recently in relation to her stutter. Apparently it took ages to finish her movie shoots because she had to repeat her lines over and over again. It must have been very stressful for her.
Okay, I'm ignoring Marilyn and the desert and the pastrami sandwich and that insanely massive LA style menu, and even the cheesecake, and going straight to that tennis-ball size matzo ball. Is it as light and fluffy as it looks? 😍 This may determine my next travel destination when I'm in CA. 😀 The article is also terrific, I see, now I've read it.
I had to smile at Jeff checking out the menu. I assume it was research, since anyone who reads your Newsletter/ posts or Jeff's posts, already knew he'd have a grilled cheese and a black and white cookie. The soup looks fabulous and I would have had to try the cheesecake. Thanks for another lovely piece on food and places I miss.
I had forgotten that Marilyn Monroe was so very young when she died. That pastrami sandwich is making me very hungry! Thank you for all the tidbits of information Ruth!
Beautiful post, Ruth and your thoughts about fame are really something to think about. I want that pastrami sandwich! 😂 Thanks for taking us along on this trip :)
You really make me want to go back! We visited years ago when our kids were little & loved the living desert & zoo and even found a classic old diner - a must for all my travels. Thanks for making me hungry again 👍

That soup looks delish. Would be perfect for today. Another mouth watering blog.
