Luke and his girlfriend, Yuka, are in Los Angeles for the week, so some of my friends decided have dinner out with them at La Cabaña in Venice on Friday night. The restaurant had a live mariachi (I think, but there were no horns, just guitars) band that would wander around to different tables to serenade. I ordered a dish that had beef in a mole sauce. It was alright. I thought mole was exclusive to Oaxaca, Mexico, but I was wrong. (Wiki check confirmed this.)
The night before, I had dinner with Luke and Yuka for the first time since they arrived. I gave them a tour of Treyarch, which I don’t think I was a very good host of. I showed them the game that I was working on and such. And of course, I apologized for my messy area. >_<;; For dinner we went to Bossa Nova on Pico in Los Angeles. It was Brazilian food. Very good. We got an appetizer of french fries with blue cheese and another type of cheese. It tasted faintly of apples. Yuka said the same thing.
Luke forgot to bring my toothpaste. I discovered that they sell them in the US now, so I might just order it from Amazon instead. When I requested this from him a few weeks ago, I was very vague about it. I couldn’t remember what it was called and I was intending to research it before he came, but every time I talked with Luke it was when I was going to go to bed. Oh, well!
Luke and Yuka are returning to Japan on tomorrow. They came to Los Angeles for Yuka to take an accounting test. I hope they come again. ^^ Or at least, I hope I get to go to Japan again soon.
