\"chat\"<\/p>\n

After we went to the Rams game, we took the bus out of traffic because it was impossible to get a rideshare at the stadium. The last stop was in Playa del Rey, down the street from Chef Brooke Williamson<\/a>‘s resto, Playa Provisions<\/a>. We were gonna grab dinner there before heading home, but they had a private event that night and weren’t accepting walk-ins, just reservations! I forgot you either have to make a res or wait in a ridiculously long line to eat at a good resto in LA \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n

\"rigatoni\"<\/p>\n

Anyway, I would never choose to have Indian for dinner, but I’m also easygoing and down to try anything (except baby animals and Highland cows LOL). I avoided all the lamb dishes, of course, but the malai rigatoni was def something to write home about (@ Pijja Palace<\/a>)<\/p>\n

It was like an Indian take on perfectly al dente vodka pasta. Maybe I like Indian fusion, because I really enjoyed the Tandoori Chicken Poutine at Maneet Chauhan’s restaurant<\/a> in Nashville, too.<\/p>\n

\"padres<\/p>\n

This place was also oddly a sports bar, so I got to catch the Padres playoff game during dinner. They won again and swept the Braves to win the wild card series!<\/p>\n

People were asking me if I was gonna go to a playoff game at Dodger Stadium, but the last time I went to a Padres\/Dodgers game at that stadium (last week<\/a> LOL), Padres lost big time, so I don’t wanna jinx them \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n

The series is best-of-five in a 2-2-1 format, so game 3 will be in SD. I’ll be in SD next week, but game 3 falls on my dad’s birthday, so I’m hoping the Dodgers don’t sweep, and there’s a game 4 I can possibly go to in SD.<\/p>\n

\"alex<\/a><\/p>\n

Also, I might have to go to a game if someone’s able to find me this cute ass Padres jacket<\/a> Alex Morgan (SD Wave soccer player) wore to a game last month \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n
