DITL - my own version

[susandennis]

I live in No Bus Land downtown. When I first moved here we had 4 buses that stopped on my corner. Then they moved the stop up a block and then two blocks. Then there were only 2 buses. Then none. Then they added one back in. Then they moved the stop to just across the street and there were 6 buses. Then there were none. Then there were 3 in the next block.

I caught one of those this morning. (But, the sign at the stop said they were moving it on February 22. It's new home is not really even close to here, so we are now back to no buses.)

Then I walked over to H-Mart where I wandered around. I had not been in the downtown one. It is a smaller with a smaller snack aisle. And the snacks (chips, crackers, candies) are the most fun. My haul wasn't huge but sufficient.



Then I had an hour to kill so I murdered off part of it in Sur La Table where I found this little tart pan with the pop out bottom on sale. It's the perfect size from my one-egg quiches.



Then I killed the rest of the time in the courtyard next to the restaurant. It was nice but also pretty chilly.



Frank got there just as they were unlocking the door. We had French food and it was good. Very good. The coffee was also French. Not good. But, hey, no biggie.

Then I went to the yarn shop. I wanted a gauge measuring tool - aka ruler but fancy. They didn't have exactly what I wanted but they had a good one so I got it.



On to the light rail where broken glass in the elevator (coming back up to street level) looked like a city street map.



And, on to Tous les Jours - the new Korean bakery conveniently located between the light rail stop and my house.



I was 100% unable to make up my mind.



I need a guy with a cart like this pup has.



But I did make it home actually on my own in good shape with a very happy Fitbit.

After a hearty feeding and some hopping up and down, these two are settled in for the afternoon.



And now I'm home. Happy. Full and with a delighted Fitbit.

An excellent day and it's still only 2 pm!

The coffee was also French. Not good.

Because it was not a good instance of French coffee, or because you don't like French-style (which I presume means good and strong) coffee?

And speaking of things French, it's a little odd that Tous les Jours, which sells croissants and such, is characterized as a Koren bakery.

Probably the latter on the coffee. It was Americana and I'm pretty much a plain drip girl.

Yes, I'm thinking the Tous le Jours was maybe born in the French section of South Korea. But, really their inventory is really more Asian than French.

Sounds like a pretty darn good day and the guys are looking cute all tuckered out.

The person who broke the glass should call it art and charge admission.

What a fun day and great fun for me to see it in pictures. Thanks, Susan!

Good job on the long walk!
And I'm envious of the pastry, of course.

How were the pastries? I think that HMART downtown could do amazing, assuming their able to keep it secure.

[susandennis]

They were good. Not OMG I'm GOING TO DIE NOW experiences but good.

I did find the H-Mart staff to be really nice, welcoming and friendly. That couldn't hurt.

That must be a serious snack aisle! And an inexplicably French-named Korean bakery, which I see you've already commented on. And what a beautiful puppy!
