Fooding
Random photos, starting off with an afternoon event at UCLA DataX, talking much about clocks and rhythms. The latter is not my forte, but phrased as the former and it comes together much better. Professor Andrews, director of UCLA's PIC (Program In Computing), is very engaging in ways outside of the realm of most programmers, and that is very much to his credit. Also appreciated is DataX's event space, which is large enough for a good-sized crowd, but not so large it's hard to fill, and spacious enough to have some additional seating areas in addition to just rows of chairs-- a tiny area and seats for books, as well as a good-sized high-top off to the side.
Even more random fooding follows, with Sue bringing over giant fruit-filled mochi from Nuo Mochi in Monterey Park-- wasn't sure what to expect, but fruit filling was quite nice. Hadn't caught up with Michelle in a while either, so that was fun.
Followed up with a long-overdue visit to Sanook Soi 38, which remains very solid for Thai food. Their boat noodles won't win awards, but they're good, and ditto for the pork potstickers. Wrapped up the day with dinner from Stevie's Creole Cafe. The seafood gumbo was as bit plain, there was enough seasoning and ample good quality protein (shrimp, sausage, dark meat chicken), but the quality of the seasoning seemed to miss out on the complexity of the best of their competitors. TBD on the jambalaya...
