Two Random Food Reviews

Hi Tech readers! I’ve been very busy these past two weeks — nonstop lab work on weekends as I finished preparing for one beamtime, and am starting preparations for a second beamtime now! As a result, I did not have time to review any of the remaining restaurants in the SGV Food Passport yet. I will have more time in July, so I will try to swing by them then!

For now — because I know you would feel deprived without a food review from me — I will just tell you about an adventure Kayane and I had when we were supposed to check out Edwin Mills. It was an unseasonably warm day in March, and Kayane and I planned to grab soaps from Bath & Body Works then walk over to Edwin Mills. When we parked, we stumbled upon an Etsy fair. We grabbed our soaps from Bath & Body Works, put them back in the car, then headed to the fair. Kayane bought a beautiful necklace at one of the booths. I bought two chocolate chip cookies at the Danielle’s Cookies booth. The cookies were giant and amazing. 10/10. Would buy again. I actually think they’re better than Cairn Cookies.

As we continued to browse, it got hotter and hotter. We decided not to walk in the blazing sun over to Edwin Mills and instead go to Panini Kabob Grill for lunch. It was not excellent in my opinion. I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap which came with a side of pasta salad and hummus. The chicken was dry and tasted stale. I stopped eating halfway through. Still hungry but unable to stomach the chicken, I then proceeded to peel the tortilla off of the second half of the wrap and dip it into the hummus to eat. Kayane ordered the lamb kabob with a side salad and rice. She seemed to like her dish. The restaurant was stuffy and warm, and it took far too long for us to get the check. I would not go back, sadly.

I am determined to go to Edwin Mills before the SGV Food Passport expires, so stay tuned for my review when the Tech returns during fall. Have a great summer everyone! Until next time!
