Cinco de Julyo

For Independence Day, we drove to Pasadena and bought new dishes at IKEA. Here are the adorable bowls, in Palm Springs-y orange and green:



Jason loves the square black plates. I love the wide bowls with just one flower.



Here are the side plates.



And FINALLY I have a great big serving platter.



Then we stopped at a fast foodish noodle place, because we were low on time and high on hunger. I ordered the tofu lo mein:



And Jason and I split the spinach/tofu gyoza:



After we got home, we had just enough time to get changed for a night hike. We climbed the Lykken Trail and watched five fireworks displays at once.



Hope all of you had a great Fourth of July and are having an equally good fifth of July!
