I think Iām spending moreā¦because my psyche misses snacks and drinks at the barā¦and meals where Iām not the one prepping and cleaning up afterwards.

Totally! We definitely cook more, but spending more per take-out trip. Not to mention the added driving distances to some of these places (why are so many good things so far west of the 110 and south of the 210/134ā¦).

$5 bucket of ice cream +$4 jar of good peach or apricot jam is as good as a $20 pint of icecream (to me)

Bonne Maman jam? Very good jam but great ice cream not from a supermarket makes a big difference.

During this pandemic, I learned to how to make my own strawberry compote from Harryās Berries gaviotas. I find that it goes great with McConnellās sweet cream.
As for stone fruits, Iām just doing a ripe stone fruit & cream with AltaDena cream that I double triple whip myself. #StrongerForearmMusclesNow

Ok, maybe not quite an LA Restaurant hot take, but after reading the LA Times story about how the guy who claimed to have invented Flamin Hot Cheetos did not invent them but was heavily involved in the development of sabrositos and the chile limon Fritos, my hot take is that chile limon fritos >>>> flamin hot cheetos.

Flamin Hot Cheetos 4 life over here.
Personally I donāt like the chemical lime flavor Frito-Lay uses for anything ālimon.ā Although maybe thatās a controversial take too.
