It might be a good idea for the Lutheran's to join in.

I ❤️ Govindas! I was just recently lamenting to myself how long it’s been since I went. So fun to know the story! The only other Govindas I tried is in Philly and that had amazing food as well.

I know that’s how I would wind up there. Trouble is they are closed weekends which is why I always wind up at Pita 😑

Pita’s five salad platter also blessed I’m sure!

Where are their ponytails? I thought HKs had ponytails so GOD could pluck them up?

I'm getting sort of a melancholy vibe from Eric Adams this week. How can we cheer him up?

It's great to know that the mystery of Sherita continues...it's fun, whether we get answers or not.

One thing that has boggled me: Sherita is the mascot for oil because of the belief that petroleum comes from the remains of dinosaurs, right?

I used to eat at a Govinda in West LA. Never knew much about the food except that it was delicious and affordable, which was why my coworkers and I went there once a week. Thanks for the back story and the love story!

Regarding Eric Adam’s I’m a little worried. I don’t think his crypto bet will pay off and I’d hate to see him lose money on the mayor gig. Hopefully he’s taking his pension in US dollars.

Another development in the Sherita story and it’s a good one. We’ve heard from a guy who thinks he spoke with the owner but now he’s not sure if the story he heard was true. I think we need to hear from the rest of the band. Either they back up his story, or... well, I don’t know what. But my spidy senses are tingling with this defunct band.

*Sigh* I'm with you ALL I want is for Eric Adams to be happy.
