The meeting
Ray was moving from his house to office when he met Jane and they stumbled to each other, Good morning beauty ray said to Jane, she answered curious trying to know what he wants, ray told Jane his name and they started working towards the supermarket where Jane works after some time they exchanged contacts and he told her he will call her after work. Shaheed works in Jane supermarket, he likes her but couldn't talk to her about the love. Los Angeles is a foodie's haven. Mecca for anyone with a gold-plated tongue and diamond-dusted tastebuds. The choices are beyond abundant and available around the clock. Whether you crave comfort food, the elegance of fine-dining, or the thrilling adventure of a vegan kosher taco truck, LA has got you covered. I lived in the City of Angels for a decade, and while I was spoiled by all sorts of gourmet experiences, here is my What you will need:
basil (freshly plucked from my friend Mick's backyard)
cherry tomatoes (ditto)
cheap crackers, any brand will do
mustard (I like Dijon, but French's is just fine)
a time machine
Directions:
1. Live in LA in the early 90s. Or use the time machine. Set it for June, 1991.
2. Be the type of flirty chick who gets invited to places like Spago and Le Dome. Try to be impressed by the towering salads and the bone marrow with the persnickety spoons, and the way every waiter introduces himself to you and gives you a little backstory. "Hi, my name is Chad?" Always with a question mark. "I'm originally from a town in Texas you've probably never heard of, but I'm actually an actor…" just in case you might be someone who could give Chad his big break.
3. Randomly meet a man named Mick who used to be a drug dealer in the heady, coke-infused days of the 80s, but now has reinvented himself as a type of guy-Friday. He is just scratching by, but he's doing it honestly. Meet a lot of men in LA, but never meet anyone like Mick.
4. Get to know Mick slowly. He's a friend of a friend of a friend, and he drives a convertible and keeps nothing in it so he can park with the roof down and never be robbed. He has a large personality that hides a shy side. You like the way he dresses in plaid shirts and jeans, so different from the Miami Vice-inspired, Easter-egg-colored blazers on most of the other men. There's nothing artificial about Mick. It's like he survived something dangerous, and now he is forever chill. He doesn't talk about his past.
5. Date the men who think they'll impress you with the size of their Rolodex, but always go over to Mick's house after. Bring him your leftovers. Dish about the date. Mick's place is in constant disarray because he's trying to remodel the old bungalow himself. This means there is a pool, but no water. A kitchen with no floor. A hot plate. A tiny fridge. And yet you always feel comfortable and welcome. He doesn't care if you put your feet up anywhere. He is happy to see you, and he makes you happy to be seen.
6. Go to Patina. Have the lobster bisque. Order pear liquor as the after-dinner drink and decide that it tastes exactly like you imagine furniture polish would taste. Make this comment to your date who doesn't think you're funny at all, especially because that drink cost a pretty penny, little lady. Tell the story to Mick later, over beers.
