11.58am - blueberry-flaxseed-aloe vera smoothie, at home
14.14h - Thai-style noodle salad w/ spicy peanut-coconut dressing, at home, with Ritesh, who's taken to calling this my signature salad. Ahem.
15.31h - cucmber-lime agua fresca, after this week's recipe in the LA Times, at home, with Ritesh
18.21h - Phinney's great white wine sangria, tailgating at the Home Depot Stadium before the LA Galaxy game against the New England Revolution, with Greg, Phinney and Ritesh. Greg has season tickets for the LA Galaxy, we just tagged along to see Beckham play...
18.26h - Golden Bird fried chicken, barbecue beans, coleslaw, greens, biscuits and tons of bubba sauce, all from a place called Porky's BBQ in Inglewood, outside the Home Depot Stadium
18.55h - Phinney brought watermelon for dessert! Thanks, guys!

19.30h - opening ceremony - see how small and intimate the Stadium is? I didn't expect to be this close to the field...

19.41h - Beckham doing his thing, and people going crazy. He didn't score until the second half, and I didn't catch his goal on camera. And the LA Galaxy lost 1:2. But who cares. The atmosphere was fabulous, and a great time was had all around... have more videos to post but they take forever to upload. Maybe I'll get to it later...
