breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Breakfast
Having ingested more than the usual amount of wine at a neighbor's house last night, K. and I were feeling like a greasy egg-and-potato breakfast this morning, so we toddled down to Angel's Place in LaVerne. We had dinner there a while back, and I've had lunch there a couple of times, but we'd never done breakfast there.

As it turns out, I'm thinking that breakfast may be Angel's finest meal. I had a spinach omelette, which was very tasty, and K. reported the same of his gyro omelette. And the potatoes -- the most important feature of any plate where K. is concerned -- were good too. They weren't your standard diner hash browns; rather, large chunks of cooked potato were smashed together and left on the grill until they were crusty and delectable.

I will say this, though: Worst. Coffee. Ever.

Has anyone tried breakfast at Roberta's Village Inn across the street from it? I feel like we need to try it too, in the spirit of culinary adventure, but it doesn't look all that prepossessing.

Lunch
Ha, fooled you -- no lunch after that big omelette for breakfast. I will, however, be making myself a proper cup of coffee.

Dinner
We'll be at the Pomona Heritage election and dinner tonight, in order to sandbag, um, I mean, vote for our Ed for the board. Where will *you* be dining?

Chinese new years eve. I'll actually be at the buddhist temple in Hacienda Heights. Year of the Ox starts tomorrow. Remember, everyone must be a vegetarian tomorrow, the first day of the year, or ghosts will come haunt you... or something like that... i actually don't know. It's also a day of rest, I love that part, no work allowed.

Meg,

If you're going to breakfast in La Verne you really should try Norm's at Brackett Field Airport. Regular diner type food with a backdrop of planes taking off and landing. Kind of a fun breakfast experience.

Roberta's makes a standard breakfast, good but nothing out of the ordinary. It sounds like I'll have to try Norm's and Angel's.

Well, I normally do the vegetarian thing on a daily basis. But today I was super hungry, a "bag" (that's right, a bag) of tuna was the only thing in sight. After I ate it, I remembered Anduhrew's admonition about ghosts. Here goes nothing..bring it on Year of the Ox.

Hard to belive that Dave never ate at Norm`s they have great food during the summer time or anytime is to sit outside and watch the planes take off and land.Like JC said its a fun place to eat wow that sounds good for lunch you all talked me into it Norm`s for lunch.

Hey, maybe this Norm's is better than the one I normally frequent (the one that has the sign "We Never Close"). Not open at midnight though, I bet.

Who has the "We never close" sign, calwatch? Not Maniac Mike's that's for sure.

It reminds me of the Anchor Grill in Covington, Kentucky, which had a sign reading "We may doze, but we never close." And as far as I could tell, that was true.
