Fig jam and Portola


Spent a nice weekend strolling around with my sister, cousin, and nieces. I had the Apple and Brie Cheese 
Panini with Fig Jam at Boudin and it was delicious. They got rid of their Spinach and Mushroom Pizza...
that pizza was so good. Afterwards, we stopped by Portola. I never knew this kind of place existed. 
By "this kind," I mean a place with an interior design reminiscent of what I've seen in Korea, but in Costa 
Mesa. Brought back warm, fond memories I can't describe in words but just feel. I'll try explaining. 
You know that feeling when you smell a scent and you immediately flash back to a distant memory in a specific 
time and place and frames of movement whiz by like you've just experienced it all over again within a span of 
one second? It's fast, but what you feel from that one second is so vivid, your senses awake. Then it's over. 
Comes and goes, everything is back to normal. It is strange and a treat when I experience these. It's okay if 
you don't understand. I sound like a total looney, but that was just an attempt to describe the awesome, 
once every couple of months feeling I encounter. 


My stomach is growling. I'm tucked in my bed so maybe I should just fall asleep. Goodnight world.
