Yucca do it!


Our pal Lizette showed us her spiffy hillside house in Oceanside a couple weeks back. She cooked up a batch of delicious yucca with a tremendous garlic-onion-olive oil-lime (G.O.OO.L.) concoction, and ever since we've been on a huge yucca kick.

Yesterday I was in Hollywood for a conference, and I had some time to stroll the neighborhood. Couldn't miss the newish 54-unit condo development at 6735 Yucca Street. You know, it actually looks like our yucca dish. The concrete walls remind me of the yucca, and the redwood siding would be the GOOOL. Somebody really needs to keep up the landscaping (the side salad?) there...

Hi John and Therese! Just wanted to let you know I'm reading your blog and really liking it. As someone who grew up in the OC (my parents live in Laguna Niguel and my sister in Huntington Beach) I do admittedly wax nostalgic about Santa Ana here in the getting colder by the week Chicago! Jane

Jane! Great to hear from you...T and I have read and enjoyed your stuff too! (I've also read Oscar Zeta Acosta's books and liked one of them, but I forget which one...hehehe). Therese says she'd love to visit Chicago someday (especially for the architecture and the jazz history), but not in the winter!
