@The Ironic Chef: to be frankly i am a terrible cook ^^ i'm a student and i don't take time to improve my cooking skills :P but i love the american food, altohugh i can hardly understand how ppl can consume eggs or pancakes with syrup in the morning :P (i hate eggs :P)
but i'll check and ask around if can get an original wiener schnitzel recipe just hang on...

@Cook Chatty Cathy: its cool that we can talk so freely about other topics disregarding the original one :P
haha, well i've been to los angelels in 1995 (sry for asking but this is really getting on my nerves: is it "ive been to ... in 1995" or "i was there.... in 1995"? :P)
unfortunately i was too young to explore the city.. well yet i've been to downtown hehe. Actually I have no clue why I love the country site. I reckon that the reason is the climate, the spectacular nature and the endless highways :P

Gazpacho,

Either way you want to say you have been to Los Angeles back in 1995 is fine! It is a matter no importance gramatically!

I was there in the 1990-1992 and my best memories were of all the lovely restaurants!!! I also liked the Griffith Observatory and the Zoo and a place called San Pedro and an Island called Catalina, there was also a terrific little beach called Redondo Beach and lots of fireworks on the weekend being launched from the Queen Mary, it was a spectacular place, yet I would never live there again! We have a member here named CanMan who lives in LA. It's a great place to visit. Too bad you did not get to see as much of it as you would have liked.

You are very fortunate to have done such travels when you were young! Not many people are as fortunate as you!

You know I have a fear now of flying into foreign countries (since 9/11) and that is a darn shame. But thankfully the United States are diverse enough in terrain that you can live and travel right here without being bored!

When you ate the Navajo bread were you visitig the Navajo Reservation? There are Native Indian Villages spread out over all our States, from the tip of Florida (The Seminole & Miccosukee Indians) to the top of Washington State (The Chinook and Spokane Indians) it is so interesting to visit the Villages or Reservations and if you happen to get to eat their native foods in the process how lucky for you! Not too far from where I live is a Cherokee Indian Reservation and it is nice to visit there! My kids loved it!

Well I had best go!

Cathy

hey
when i was in LA i also visited redondo beach. there was a place where girls were skating and boys were showing their muscular body ^^ it was kinda promenade. i guess this was redondo beach? whatever....
actually i love traveling but now that i'm a student i can't possibly afford any of these vacations. i don't care flying tho i don't like these looooong flights. it takes approx. 9 hours from hamburg (germany) to vegas..
yeah, i think we visited this reservation. this bread was really delicious but i NEVER was able to ate the whole stuff.. its so darn filling :P
when driving on the highways we often saw little indian groups gathered together on the site and they sold some handcrafted things

So what University are you attending and what are your studies? If you don't mind sharing of-course. I understand how you seldom cook but are you interested in becoming a cook in time?

Wow CanMan neat Beach Cam I see the FOG Venice Beach Board Walk, is that where they had the Roller Coaster and other rides? It was really neat and so much fun! I just remember Redondo Beach as the spot where we used to play VolleyBall!

I think it is cool that you are in Tech. University Gazpacho! I bet it is interesting!

So are you interested in learning in time how to cook? Did your Mom ever let you help out in the kitchen growing up? And do you remember enjoying it? My boys both love to cook now that they are grown and have families of their own! The more you do it the easier and more fun it becomes! Let us know if you are interested in learning! I believe if you ever cook something and it turns out good, you will feel encouraged and inspired to learn more and cooking will become fun and not so much a chore! Especially since you are so busy with school and all!

No, that was Long Beach and THE PIKE during the years when it was a big Navy port and it had the Colossus roller coaster that went out over the water. It really was a scuzzy place in its final years. My family business used to be in downtown Long Beach, just blocks away, which was interesting when the Long Beach Gran Prix got started. I was good friends to some of the last survivors of the Pike and Looff's Amusement and I got a brick from them of the first building when it was torn down. Preserved in plexiglass now.
