The pad see ew at Mr. Noodle @westwoodvillage is my version of comfort food. I’m not ready for dining in, and neither is Mr. Noodle, which is open for takeout and delivery. . . . . . #noodles #noodleporn #westwood #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodpics #foodblogger #foodie #lafoodie #laeats #lafood #foodstagram #instafood #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #supportlocalrestaurants

Restaurants may have reopened in LA for dining in, but I’m sticking with takeout for now! Picked up lunch at a local gas station mini mart, which either means that it must have really good Indian food or it’s a sad indication of what my life is now. Love the frankies @bombayfrankiela - eapecially the aloo gobhi (cauliflower and sweet potato), with chickpea spread, jeers potatoes, cucumbers, tomatoes, mint chutney, tamarind drizzle and raita, wrapped in naan like a burrito. I’m now stuffed and feeling like a burrito, or should I say a frankie, myself. Bombay Frankie is open for takeout and delivery. Eating at the counter inside the mini mart is not permitted at this time. Anybody in LA dining in? If you are, please let me know! . . . . . #bombayfrankie #food #foodpics #foodphotography #foodblogger #foodstagram #instafood #foodie #lafoodie #laeats #lafood #dinela #yelpla #infatuationla #eaterla #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocalrestaurants

Naked ramen @tatsuramen on Sawtelle. Got to kick up the spicy level when you’re getting Naked for lunch for maximum enjoyment! Don’t miss out on the free side of sweet corn when you place your order! Tatsu is open for takeout and delivery. . . . . . #ramen #noodles #tatsu #tatsuramen #sawtelle #food #foodpics #foodporn #noodleporn #foodstagram #instafood #foodie #lafoodie #laeats #lafood #dinela #yelpla #infatuationla #supportlocalrestaurants

Baked a strawberry galette with strawberries from @tamaifamilyfarms and recipe @smittenkitchen. Baking has been my therapy (cleaning up afterwards, not so much). . . . . . #baking #smittenkitchen #strawberry #strawberries #food #foodporn #foodpics #foodphotography #foodstagram #instafood #foodie

Finally made my first banana bread during the quarantine! Used the recipe I saw in the @latimesfood for banana bread with peanut crumble but only put the crumble on one side since my daughter doesn’t like nuts. The peanut crumble gives it a nice salty sweet crunch (swipe to see). It’s loaded with chocolate chips and is practically a health food thanks the antioxidants (not really). . . . . #bananabread #baking #latimesfood #food #foodporn #foodpics #foodphotography #foodblogger #foodie #foodstagram #instafood

The $20 a pint Strawberry Shortcake @antico___la made with strawberries from @harrysberries. I thought people were insane for paying that much for a pint of ice cream. I had seen someone post that they got the last pint the day before and was almost relieved to order the relatively cheap $14 Honeycomb ice cream pint (I kid - it’s still $$$$). When I picked up my order, I figured I should ask if they had any more of the Strawberry Shortcake, especially since I was unlikely to ever go there again. When I was told there was one more left, I felt like I won the lottery and was excited to have the opportunity to spend $20 for that pint. I am now convinced that they tell all their customers that to lessen the blow. Was it worth it? It’s got a strong strawberry flavor but still creamy, with a slight tang of buttermilk and chunks of cake. If our family of three gets ice cream at a shop, it would cost about the same. It’s so rich that we’ve managed to milk it for two servings for each of us, and there’s still some left in the container. If I return to Antico, it will be for their superlative ice cream, not their pizza. LOL. Just kidding. Their pizza is a steal by comparison. Might as well bring one home too. . . . . #icecream #dessert #strawberry #food #foodporn #foodpics #foodblogger #foodphotography #foodstagram #instafood #foodie #lafoodie #laeats #lafood #yelpla #eaterla #dinela #infatuationla
