French Canadians Meet Thai Elvis
After work today, I had some errands to run at The Grove, so I stopped by the churrascaria for one of my favorite guilty pleasures, pão de queijo and Guarana (and even ran in to Samuel L. Jackson at Bath & Body Works).
Afterwards, I went home to prepare for Paul & Matt’s arrival at the H.C. They flew from Montreal to San Francisco, and then drove down the Pacific Coast Highway today. They’ve never been to California, in fact, Matt has never even been out of Quebec! He grew up on a farm outside of Montreal and had never even seen a palm tree! They were quite exhausted, so we had a quick dinner at Palms Thai with the one and only Thai Elvis, then came home and watched Carly get booted off American Idol. I’ll be gone all day tomorrow, and they’ll hit the beach and Hollywood. We’re trying to get tickets for Jimmy Kimmel on Friday. Good night from La La Land.
Back atcha Thai Elvis!
We ordered way too much food
But had lots of leftovers!
Happy Birthday Matthias!!
