小插曲

7月21号开业。凭着亲友们的支持信任和帮助，9月25号取得4心等级。

但由于学业和毕业论文的需要投入更多精力，必须把生意暂缓一下。

Driving School D2

早上7点半起床，洗漱。

在房间里看了会儿书之后，8点半去一楼食堂吃饭。用餐完毕后在房间看了会儿书。

9点半上车练习一课时，中间休息1小时后，再1课时的技能练习。12点20结束，吃午饭。

午休到13点20，下午是3节连续的文化课。4点10分结束当天的内容。

约了校车接送去Gym，4点半出发，7点回学校。吃完晚饭回房间。

新庄这个小城市以农业为主，商业气氛不浓。市中心的商店街很萧条，很多店都空着。
因为人口一直在减少，越发没有生气了。4点多的城区街上都看不到什么人。

Driving School D1

第一天是早上搭9点半的新干线，中午12点半到山形县新庄市。

校车在车站门口接我，得知当天只有我一个人入校，很惊讶。又听说目前学校里接受住宿制课程的女生只有我一个。。。就感觉现在地方上的一些驾校会不会都像这学校一样萧条。貌似只有暑假是高峰期，床位会紧张些。

到了学校，办理入校手续。然后去食堂吃了个中餐（开始我还以为第一天不包中餐的，没想到还帮我准备了，挺周到的），清淡简单的肉末饭套餐。

下午1点50开始入校说明会。然后是第一堂文化课和第一课时的上车练习。
在两堂课中间的30分钟休息中，宿舍管理员给我说了一下宿舍区使用的注意点。然后把行李拿进房间，稍做休息。

房间是2人间，我一个人用，所以感觉还挺宽敞。
配套设施有2张单人床（一个床我用来放东西），2个独立小衣柜，2张桌子，小电视机和小冰箱。

第一天的课于6点20结束，之后去食堂用餐。澡堂也是我一个人用，很奢侈的样子。晚上11点左右就寝。

California Travel: cheap and cheerful food spots in Los Angeles-from Toronto Star

LOS ANGELES—Yeah, this is the home of Wolfgang Puck and celebrity wardrobe malfunctions and Botox on the Beach. But L.A. also has a huge core of absolutely normal folk who sneer at $10 pieces of sushi and love greasy goodies as much as the next guy.

Here’s a look at some of the iconic spots for cheap, and fabulous, eats in la-la-land.

Apple Pan

Only 15 minutes from LAX on a busy stretch of W. Pico Blvd., in West L.A., this is one of the city’s most-loved, old-time burger joints. It’s in an old, wooden shack that looks like something lifted off Route 66 in Oklahoma. Grab a spot around the u-shaped counter that surrounds the cooking area and guys who’ve worked there for 35 years or more will take your order for a steak burger or hickory burger for $6.75. Fifty cents extra for a slice of Tillamook Oregon cheddar. You can get a beer but if you order a soft drink they’ll bring it to you in one of those seldom-seen-any-more silver “chalice” bits that hold a cone-shaped, white paper cupswith ice.

The place dates to 1927 and there’s plain wood paneling on the walls, topped by white paint and not a stitch of adornment. They also have towering tuna or ham sandwiches and pies. The apple pie oozes with cinnamon and can be smelled miles away in the San Fernando Valley. The lunch crowd will be ladies in sleek black dresses alongside students and tough-looking leather guys with more tattoos than Brett Lawrie. Tue-Thu and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Fri-Sat 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Closed Mondays. 10801 W Pico Blvd., Los Angeles. 310-475-3585. No website.

Philippes Original

The home of the beef dip sandwich. And an L.A. legend. It’s located on Alameda St., just a few feet from the Mexican-themed Olvera St. and just a block from beautiful Union Station. You’ll get crusty bread and fillings that include pork, beef, turkey, ham or lamb. The beef is tender and a bit fatty with a ton of flavour, especially if you ask (and you should) for the double dip. There are pickled eggs in giant jars filled with mysterious purple liquid, and they’ve been in same spot on the counter for decades. Ditto, I suspect, for the folks serving up the sandwiches. I don’t recall but I’m sure three of them were named Hazel last time I wandered in.

Wines and beer are available but it’s 65 cents for lemonade and 45 cents for coffee. There are wooden stools at long counters with red tops and sawdust on the concrete floor. You’ll get a nice if not enormous beef sandwich with a taste that hasn’t changed in 35 years (trust me) for about $7. They have a $7.25 breakfast special that’s got two pieces of cinnamon French toast or two pancakes, two slices of bacon or one sausage patty, two eggs, juice or coffee.

Last time I was there I was sitting at a long table with a pack of young Asian girls, an elderly black couple, Mexican-American families and suburban-looking folks in Hawaiian shirts. Old-time L.A. at its best. 1001 N. Alameda St., Los Angeles.

Original Pantry

This downtown diner is another L.A. institution, dating back to 1924. It’s a block from sparkly (and fake) L.A. Live but a world away. Owned by former mayor Richard Riordan, it’s got photos of celebs on the wall and a real, old-time feel. At breakfast, you’ll get enormous, hand-cut slices of sourdough toast as thick as a catcher’s mitt and coffee served in proper ceramic mugs for half a buck. I had spicy Portuguese sausage sliced lengthwise, scrambled eggs and a mountain of crispy,hash browns and coffee for $8.95. Lunch features spaghetti and meatballs for $9.45, a top sirloin for $15.25 and more.

The place is filled with cops on a regular basis, so much so that one regular I chatted with told me, “When we had the riots this was the safest place in town.” Open all day every day. Pantrycafe.com. 877 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles. 213-972-9279.

Nate and Al’s

Who says Beverly Hills is all swimming pools and movie stars? There’s sparkly red jello on display in the fridge and one of the walls is lined with jars of mustard and ketchup and other condiments. The other has old-time photos. The tables are faux wood, with leatherette banquettes and waitresses who’ve served for years. Blintzes, salami and eggs, Monte Cristo sandwiches, pastrami, knishes, tongue sandwiches, burgers, gefilte fish, it’s all here on a classic deli menu. Most half sandwiches are $11.95, and a full one goes for $14.50 or $14.75. The portions aren’t even a third of what they’ll give you at Carnegie Deli in New York. But it’s a nice counterpoint to a town where even the Club Monaco has valet service. And there’s free parking for three hours in a municipal lot just down the street; a perfect tonic for (normal) Beverly Hills prices. The Al in Nate and Al’s is Al Mendelson, a Russian-born Canadian who immigrated to Detroit in 1923. Soon after moving to Los Angeles in 1945, he opened the place with partner Nate Reimer, whom he eventually bought out. 414 North Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills 310-274-0101. Open every day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. natenal.com.

Original Tommy’s

The “main” one is five minutes from downtown on Beverly St. at Rampart. It’s a simple, plain burger joint where you wait outdoors in line on the edge of a parking lot. A simple burger just $2.05 with gooey, runny chili. Comes with chili, tomato, mustard, onion and pickles. There actually are two counters separated by the parking lot. You pay for drinks where you order your food, then march across the lot to a row of fountain machines.

Twice in half an hour I was with folks who said, “Wow, I haven’t been in 30 years and it’s exactly the same.” I felt the same way, having not set foot in the joint between 1979 and 2012. Not for the faint of heart, but it’s a messy, gooey, icky and utterly delicious meal. Locations all over southern California and one in Las Vegas, but the original has the most atmosphere for my money. 2575 W. Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles. Open 24 hours, seven days a week. 213-389-9060. originaltommys.com.

Recipe: Orange Yogurt Ice Pops

Orange Yogurt Ice Pops

1 cup (250 mL) thawed, pulp-free orange juice concentrate

1/3 cup (80 mL) granulated sugar

2 cups (500 mL) plain yogurt (preferably full-fat)

2 tsp (10 mL) pure vanilla extract
 

In small saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring, until sguar dissolves, for about 3 minutes. Whisk in yogurt and vanilla.

Transfer to large liquid measuring cup. Pour mixture into molds, leaving 1/4-inch (4-mm) for ice expansion. Freeze for 2 hours. Insert popsicle sticks. (Mixture should be frozen enough that stick will stand.) Freeze until firm, about 5 to 8 hours.

To eat, dip bottoms of molds into bowl of hot water (could take 5 to 30 seconds) to loosen. Remove pops from molds. (You can wrap in plastic or pop into freezer bags and eat within 3 weeks.)

Makes about 3 cups (750 mL) for about eight, 3-oz (90-g) ice pops.
