Saturday started off with my usual trek to Costco, loading up on stuff and looking at the receipt trying to figure out how I spent so much money. Normally I avoid the Alhambra location because of all the Asians who stand around blocking the aisles (and today was no exception) but it seems they have the 21-25/lb. frozen shrimp that the other locations don't carry so I made the sacrifice to go there instead of the usual Azusa/Irwindale warehouse. At least they had it today so that made me happy.
Costco is my favorite store. There's always something interesting over there. Maybe its because I like finding good stuff at a discount.
Julie and I then headed to Monrovia for lunch, to try a new place called Merengue that has a menu similar to Porto's in Glendale and Burbank. That is, cakes, pastries and Cuban-type food. Below are some pictures:




In the evening we had our kickoff choir potluck as we began the season of practicing for our Evergreen SGV Christmas Cantata.
Now, the food this afternoon was good, but I have to say sorry Merengue, you lose out to the goodies we had at our potluck! Good food, lots of it, and plenty to take home. Here's a few pictures:



It was an uplifting Saturday, for sure!
