I found out there was an L&L here in Anchorage at the mall, and couldn't wait to go. (L&L is a popular hawaiian diner with all the local faves.) Its been here for almost a year and I never knew because I never go to the mall here! (Its so small!) And I definitely never go to the food court! (Its all the way at the top level, and it costs $10-$15 for a plate of food. Way too expensive for food court food in my opinion!) But we had to make a special trip for L&L!
Ava and I headed out to the mall and I found myself excited to share one of my fondest childhood activities with her. I left the stroller in the truck and we did a little shopping in the children's department. Ava got to walk around and peruse the racks also. Then we headed up to L&L for a yummy curry katsu mini (half portion). It did not disappoint! Sure, I make curry katsu at home, and I could have gotten something that I haven't had since we left the islands, but sometimes it's just nice to have a favorite food and not to have made it. And oh, to have rice and macaroni salad. The best. Ava loved it too. (She loves curry!) She got to play on the little stage in the food court area. She thought she was so big. I love watching her make other people smile. She's such a comedian.
On our way out we passed by Payless and I thought we should go in. I had forgotten all about the shoe aspect of my memory until we were there, in the moment, and Ava found a perfect pair of pink snake-skin ballet slippers. She loved them and didn't want to take them off. Ava walked out of the store with them on of course and she is still so in love with them! Score!
It exists!
Delish!
Playing on the stage.
These had to come home with us!
