The Offering Circle

Virgil/Lexington, E. Hollywood

Just down the block from my house there's a little circle of dirt that is always filled with some sort of disgusting food item, as though someone were constantly offering up food to a deity, birds, or stray cats and dogs. The offerings have ranged from soggy cookies to a rotten pile of garbanzo beans topped with moldy green yogurt. This offering appears to be a penne pasta dish, with cherry tomatoes, artichoke hears, and mozzarella. Definitely the fanciest offering yet. I think there might even be a roll on top.
