Langer's Deli is having 65th anniversary promotion today and tomorrow.  Yes, they are giving away FREE #19 Pastrami sandwich! According to their website, this #19 sandwich is $15! I was here around 3:40pm. Yup, I had to wait in line. Also they were giving away some prizes. If you are planning to go tomorrow, you should expect to wait an hour. If you don't wanna wait in line, go there early in the morning.

I got my sandwich in under 3 minutes. Pastrami was tender and fatty. I don't think I'm gonna pay $15 for this, but the sandwich was absolutely delicious.

Sky's gourmet tacos food truck

To contact us Click HERE
Back in 2011, I spotted Sky's gourmet tacos truck in Koreatown. I had to stop my feet and check out. Because in my opinion, it's not very good idea to sell overpriced gourmet tacos in Koreatown. There are so many cheap and good Mexican food trucks in Koreatown. And they are selling a taco for a dollar.

For your information, El Flamin' Taco truck is one of the very popular taco truck in Koreatown.

Anyway, I tried their shrimp taco. Yes, my shrimp taco was good, I'd love to try their "open faced" burrito next time.

Half & Half Tea House - San Gabriel

To contact us Click HERE
Half & Half tea house is one of the popular cafe in the area. Yes, they have several locations. This cafe is always packed. When I came to this location, the place was packed, people waiting outside, some group of people were playing cards, also they only have one restroom. They also messed up our drinks and yes, I'm a bitch, when they don't do it right, I ask them to make it right. And I understand it was busy but it was taking way too long to make our drinks. I had to ask them twice, "where is our drinks?" "how long do we have to wait?".

Drinks are not so cheap, but they have big selections and I absolutely loved it. I also enjoyed my green tea brick toast. I can't wait to go back and try shaved ice.
























Matcha cream toast $3.85

























My smoothie. I think it was Honeydew smoothie $4.85 + boba + jelly + pudding. It was almost $6.50.

NBC Starting Romney Dirty Tricks Campaign

To contact us Click HERE
It should not be surprising that NBC, who is owned by GE and the CEO is Obama lover and liberal, Jeffery Immelt, is starting early with dirty tricks with selective editing and trying to make Mitt Romney look like a fool.
From Fox News: NBC is taking heat again for selective editing a day after presenting video of Mitt Romney seemingly awestruck by the process of ordering a sandwich at a convenience store.
During an afternoon broadcast of "Andrea Mitchell Reports," video of the GOP presidential candidate seemed to show a politician out of touch as he discussed ordering a hoagie at Wawa.
 The video clip went viral after the blogsite SooperMexican.com pointed out in a post that it appeared doctored.
“It’s amazing," Romney said, as the Pennsylvania crowd appeared to laugh. Then viewers saw Romney say, "You have a touchtone keypad, and you touch that, touch this, go pay the cashier, there’s your sandwich.”
What viewers didn't see or hear was nearly three minutes of Romney discussing the nightmare of paperwork faced by an optometrist he'd talked to in trying to get the post office to change his address. He expressed mock amazement at Wawa's efficiency to underscore how the private sector often runs circles around the clumsy bureaucracy.
"We went to Wawas and it was instructive to me, because I saw the difference between the private sector and the governmental sector. People who work in government are good people and I respect what they do, but you see, the challenge with government is that it doesn’t have competition,” Romney said in a portion edited out of the segment.

Even though Bush was actually impressed not by an ordinary scanner, but by a then state-of-the-art device that could weigh food and read damaged bar codes, the anecdote was reported by The New York Times and offered as evidence that Bush was out of touch with everyday Americans.Several bloggers including a prominent Las Vegas blogger fell for the deception.
Of course, NBC has been caught two times in the past several months of playing the unflattering editing game:
Last August, Ed Schultz of MSNBC played an edited clip in which then-presidential candidate Rick Perry described the national debt as a “big black cloud that hangs over America” to make it sound like a racial dig at President Obama. Schultz later apologized.
And in March, NBC was caught editing the audio of George Zimmerman's 911 call as he watched Trayvon Martin in the minutes before he fatally shot the Florida teen. On a tape edited and played on the “Today” show, Zimmerman was heard calling Martin “suspicious” and volunteering that he was “black.” But the full, unedited tape showed that Zimmerman only mentioned Martin’s race when asked by the dispatcher. The result made it sound like Zimmerman was racially profiling Martin. The network fired three people after getting widespread criticism.
This is just the beginning of the dirty tricks NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN will be playing this election year as I am sure there is more to come.
And do you think anybody will be held responsible.  Oh, hell no, NBC will probably give the employees who edit TV footage to make Romney to look bad will get a bonus.
So, let the trashing begin.

New Poll Questions

To contact us Click HERE
I have 3 new polls up on the web site tonight.
First question is if Dale Earnhardt Jr. will win another race this season.  Dale Jr. has been very strong the past several weeks and finally won his first race after 143 races of trying.  So, will Dale Jr. win another race this season?
Second question, have you ever served in the military.  Just curious.
3rd question:  How long should the school year in the U.S. be.  The history of the 9 month school year was to make sure students were available to help in the fields on the farm or now, in tourist states like Wisconsin, for kids to help out in the tourism industry.
So, should we keep the 9 month school year or extend it and if so, how long?
Thanks for taking the polls.
