Day Ten

So being Hmong, while growing up, eating chili fish sauce is a norm.  Add chili, lemon, fish sauce with mangos or lemons or whatever...man...your mouth just...yum...I guess you can compare it to a running faucet? 

Anyways, the reason why I'm stating that is because...well here's the story.  My cousin is having her first baby and I wanted to see if I can get some fabric to make receiving blankets.  I googles a place near my workplace and it said that there was one on fourth street.  I got in my car and wow...it looked like downtown L.A...just a minni me version.  And...and...can you believe it?  I had to pay for parking.  It was just .75 cents but wow...it surprised me.  Anyways, I was was walking everywhere trying to find this small little fabric store and oh my goose, people really don't know their surrounding.  Let's just say I had a nice excises during my lunch hour.  Finally, right when I've about to give up, out pops the store.  Kind of like Harry Potter-ish.  = ) I walked in, and it was horrible.  Nothing! 

I was hot, parched, and agitated because whoever said it was a really good store...LIED!!!  Anyways, they had street food vendors there, just like L.A...and guess what I got?



Mangos with chili and salt with a wedge of L-E-M-O-N!!!  I was sooooo happy.  I forgot the crappy store and was happy.  I also stopped by Starbucks.  For me: winter time is: caramel machiato or caramel brule and during hot times: vientie iced green tea sweetened...yes....well...enjoy this mouth watering treat...



P.S.
I was stuck in traffic and had enough time to capture this...beautiful isn't it?
