The plan for life is to enjoy it as much as possible. One way was to follow my passions of exploring the world,food, and style. I am documenting the journey. Lets start with my celebrating my anniversary of asking my wife becoming my girlfriend. We started with Dine LA highlighted restaurant AKASHA, an American style restaurant which delivered a very good experience on 01/20/2014. Reservations were made and we were seated right away. Jazz music filled the air and magical light array lite up the Monday night. The three course set up delivered a punch of flavor in each round. I need to disclose I am generally a vegetarian and my wife is not. When we eat we get to test menus accommodations to fit a varied array of flavors. I have discovered the protein in a meal can be very diverse in many vegetarian dishes and lots of restaurants try to create this complexity in some way in order to replace meat and balance the meal with just the right flavoring and my meal at Akasha delivered. When we decide to eat certain food we determine what quality of self care we take.
