Planning with a Sandwich

The clock is ticking away as I prepare for my new film...er...project. Alright...the cat's out of the bag. The project I'm working is a film. It's a short film really, but it's still a film. Not my first one, but I hope that I hope will lead to something else. :) This is what has been taking up most of my time. Just a little portion of what I have to deal with to prepare.

Storyboards, paperwork, casting, paperwork, designs, meetings, research... and did I mention paperwork. Planning, planning, planning!!

I took an afternoon lunch venture to my favorite bakery. Porto's Bakery in Glendale. I've written about them a few times on B + B before. I've been going to them for years ad nothing would stop me from going there now, no matter how crowded the place can get at times.

I happen to choose a time when it was close to being near the end of the lunch time rush. Luckily, I didn't have trouble finding a seat as most of the people ordering at the cafe were getting "to-go."

As an appetizer, I order a tasty chorizo empanada. It's one of the reasons why I love this place aside from their baked goodies. They also serve delicious Cuban treats. Delish! It's not like an empanadas I've eaten before. I love the really flaky crust on them.

As the main attraction, I get the grilled chicken sandwich. I usually get the Cuban or the Medianoche, but I was in a poulty mood on that day.

It had some grilled chicken breast, lettuce, tomato, provolone cheese, dijon mustard, mayo on a piece of french bread. Served with a side of marqiuitas (fried plantain chips).

Delicious tender chicken. It's a simple sandwich that fills you up right.
