On Friday night Sam and I went to the (expectedly) disappointing Green Lantern film.  After we got home Sam had a craving.  A craving for what?  Well, see below.

I don’t even remember what these are called, but they’re good. Prosciutto (this photo was taken in the middle of adding it) topping off lumps of fresh mozzarella cheese over basil leaves and tomato slices with olive oil and black pepper.

So good that Sam decided to make them again (and take the photo below) for a snack the next day before we headed to the Saturdays off the  405 event at the Getty Center.  Earlier in the day we’d tried out California Monster Salads in Santa Monica (which was really good and I highly recommend if you’re in the 3rd street area) so we we needed something “light” to get us through the rest of the day.

The atmosphere at the Getty was cool.  In the shot below you can see the northwest view just after a sunset through clouds and low hanging fog.

It was a nice sight, but we weren’t into the band (dengue fever) that was playing.  I’m okay with their music on their albums, but they had a really high pitched trumpet mic’d up way too loud in the mix.  Sam was not a fan of the singing style (traditional Cambodian 60s pop)

The fog was going to make it impossible to get any good night shots of the city (another reason I’d wanted to go), so we headed home to watch a movie.

Sunday we were supposed to spend painting – but we spent so much time getting our brunch at a horribly overcrowded dim-sum restaurant that it backed up the entire day.  We ended up watching a few movies, walking around Balboa Lake and going to the St. Joseph’s catholic church carnival.  Sam hadn’t been to an American carnival before.  It was very small, and the food had many different ethnic choices (which is unlike the carnivals that I grew up with).  We tried Filipino food (Sam had never had Adobo before, so I wanted her to try it).
