Puquio in Rockridge, dining

 It is raining in the Bay Area finally!  We went to Puquio on this rainy night!  There are outdoor tables covered and it sounds beautiful to hear the rain on the canvas!

IKEA has inexpensive fur rugs

 I went to Ikea last night to get some small glass containers recommended by a friend from work.  I am trying to stay away from plastic and it is so hard!  Well, they were completely out of the glass containers, except the floor model!  They were also out of the cute iconic cutting boards with attached knife!  So, I wandered aimlessly through ikea following the arrows.  The restaurant  was closed or I would have gotten the vegetarian meatballs and mashed potatoes!  I wondered, “why was I here again, can I sit and watch a movie in the stylish little areas they create?”  What I did get was an adorable fake white fur blanket and rug at a reasonable price, perfect for autumn in an old bungalow! 

I recommend NOT going to Ikea in a hurry!  Also, NOT going there looking for one item!
