Henry’s Farmer’s Market

Sunday, June 27, 2010

Henry’s Farmer’s Market is such an amazing organic food store & the prices are very reasonable close to being cheap. When you think of organic you think of expensive but no, there prices are almost as cheap as regular non-organic foods. I am going to convert to eating organic food.

Krua Thai

Krua Thai in West Covina, CA is my second favorite local Thai restaurant. And, it’s been a while since I’ve eaten there so Ray surprised me with beef salad from there.
