Bellflower/Long Beach Elks Lodge


Tonight I met a couple friends at the Bellflower Elks Lodge for their weekly "Cook your own steak" dinner. It was so much fun! The food was amazing and such a deal! The cost is $9.50 per person and that includes everything. There were several cuts of steak to choose from (I had a T-bone), or you could have a nice fillet of salmon if you prefer. They provide all the kinds of seasonings you could want for your meat and a terrific indoor barbeque grill. Before we cooked up our steaks, we had a wonderful salad from their salad bar, and there was even soup too (tho I didn't have any). So, with the steaks on the grill I proceeded over to the crockpots to see what else there was. Oh YUM...Baked potatoes and all the fixins, zucchini, & barbequed beans. All this AND it includes your beverage and a little piece of cake. Killer deal and super casual. The people there are so nice...

If you have never been to the Elks Lodge and was ever wondering why on earth you should, this is certainly reason enough. Well, and then there's the FANTASTIC breakfast the last Sunday of every month. Stay tuned for THAT review in a couple weeks!

Quantum of Solace

Well, it was Movie Night at the budget theater again! This time we went to see the Bond flick, Quantum of Solace. Not a bad movie! Of course, we laughed and laughed (as usual) at the interesting people and the strange noises they make. :)

Behind us...we hear someone sucking the popcorn from their teeth repeatedly, a family of like 9 crunching and munching popcorn and sunflower seeds (and throwing them on the floor, ICK). Of course no budget movie is complete without the young teen couple that chose to sit very close to the screen and then awkwardly kiss and flirt during the movie. HEY, SIT IN THE BACK OF THE THEATER NEXT TIME. haha, but then we vowed we would sit in the back too!

Next week we get new movies there...wonder what we'll see! Stay tuned!
