Jake's Pizza: Minnesota in California

Indio, California: We were busy all day, but did not really accomplish much. Thus is the life of a wandering RVer. Again, we enjoyed perfect weather - not only was it in the mid-70's... the sky was unbelievably clear, and NO WIND!

I was up early and over to the local pedicure/manicure spa-place to have Henry beat the living crap out of my feet. Henry gives a great pedicure, and then practices reflexology on unsuspecting "soles" such as myself. Part heaven, part torture; I never miss a chance to see Henry when I am in the Palm Springs area.

While I was having my pedicure, DT went for a run. Later we had a telephone consultation with the Country Coach tech and can now actually get sound AND picture from our outside television! Yeah! Every day we fix one problem. Only three more things/days, and we are golden.

We ran errands in the afternoon and visited the new BevMo... kinda like the Costco of booze. Schwing!

Otherwise, I was quite busy as the holiday shipping season is in full swing, requiring two trips to the local post office today. Thank you, Camping Journal customers. There will be many Happy Campers on Christmas morning!

For dinner, we went back to one of our favorite local haunts - Jake's Pizza. Jake has eight restaurants. Seven in Minnesota and one in La Quinta, California. They serve Minnesota-style pizza and their most famous pizza is a hamburger pizza. Seriously. Many restaurants in town are closing due to the economic "down turn", but it was standing-room-only tonight a Jake's - in a little strip mall just off Highway 111. (Jake's Pizza, 78995 Highway 111, La Quinta, CA 92253, 760-777-7288.) Three servers tonight, three cooks - and a delivery guy. When they first opened, it was one person - chef, waiter, cashier! So happy this wonderful pizzeria is doing well.

Tonight's featured special - jalapeno roll-ups


Jalapeno rolls: pizza dough rolled up with jalapeno peppers and mozzarella cheese. Spicy! Yummy!


Every year - whether we need it or not - we order the hamburger pizza at Jake's La Quinta.
(Minnesota is just too far to drive for a pizza.)
