It’s stormy here in SoCal and there are some great shots being captured of this weather, courtesy ABC7’s photo gallery.

This is my favorite - not only do you have a landmark and two seemingly contradictory weather indicators, there's also that one random helo in the middle of it all.

Wow, that is one intense bolt.

I call it rainbow birthing lightning.

Reminds me of those globes that create this effect.

Awesometown’s Gourmet Food Truck Festival

Valencia, which has been branding itself “Awesometown,” had their first food truck event tonight, inviting a handful of the trucks to the parking lot at Bridgeport Marketplace. It was a smashing success and too good for its own good, with waaay more people showing up than anticipated. Panda and I spent an hour and an hour and a half each at the Fresh Fries and Border Grill Trucks, respectively. It was absolute insanity and I know next year it’s going to be a lot more spread out.

This way to YUM! They also had signs that said GRUB, lol.

A LOT of people showed up - far more than they expected! There were two aisles like this with food truck lining either end and a mess of lines crowding up the area.

line for border grill didn't look that long, but took an hour and a half

This was where I started in the line for Border Grill. It took me an hour and a half to get to the front, order, and get my food. CRAZINESS.

Panda!

Ionic footbath

I had a Groupon awhile ago that included this ionic footbath. I was just interested in the jade stone massage, but since it came in a package I used the service and it was very interesting. Whether or not it does what it claims, something turned the water orange and made my feet tingle! My joints would need detoxing.

water turned orange in ionic footbath - detox from joints

The water slowly turned orange in my ionic footbath.

orange water color corresponds to detoxification of the joints

Apparently orange means I was detoxing from the joints.

little gray elephant eraser

Adorable, isn't it? Apparently it's a new trend, but cute eraser shapes don't seem that new to me.

Gives a whole new meaning to lemon-lime… my lime turned “lemon” due to the hot soup!

Check out the dishes of organic food available for one of the meals during the Opportunity Green conference.

I've never seen triangular pasta before. It was delicious! 🙂

grain dish

Not sure what kind of grain this was...

white lima bean dish

I believe these are some sort of lima bean?

And in the back room, we got this for the volunteers. Veggie straws are so addicting!

Mass buying

I went on a bunch of shopping outings today and bought way more than your usual amount.

First, it was at Costco, with 14 gallons of milk, 7 gallons of creamer, 9 lbs of sugar, 3000 packs of Splenda, and 3 gallons of soy milk.

Then at Home Depot we took the entire display of buckets and then tracked down 4 more for a total of 30. Countless zip ties, nails, tape, and cords later, it was time to check out. Thankfully it all fit in my car ok.
