Right before we started this whole healthy eating thing, Magneto and I took a walk down the block to a new restaurant that I’d been dying to try. After reading great writeups and seeing what appeared to be a packed soft opening, I had confidence that Commerson would be a new favorite neighborhood hang, despite […]
CHEAT DAY! Mostly. I shot all day on Saturday, but limited myself to the healthiest choices (veggie wrapped veggies and water) and alllll the activity, so Sunday’s Cheat Day was well-earned. And since our friend Rogue was in town, Magneto and I figured we might as well make the most of it and give her […]
This past weekend, Magneto and I brought our parents together for the first time in a cute little Airbnb Victorian house in Calistoga. We were pretty nervous, but the four of them became fast friends almost immediately. One thing that helped was my parents arriving Friday morning with a big bag of treats from our […]
Magneto gave me one of the best birthday presents last year: membership at LACMA. While we don’t take as much advantage of it as we ought, we finally made it out there for a current exhibit and ended up lunching there. The Stark Bar and Ray’s are perfectly situated just outside the Ahmanson Building, in […]
A few weeks ago, we ordered breakfast at the office, and while everyone else got savory dishes, I decided it was a #treatyoself kind of morning. Obviously, that meant Nutella-stuffed banana French toast from Two Guns Espresso. Heaven. Recently, I had a craving for more French toast, the last bits of hazelnut chocolate spread, and […]
This is a continuation of brunch with Magneto and my parents last weekend. Read part 1 here. I last visited Animal years and years ago, when they’d only been open for about 18 months. It was dinner, the place was crowded, and the lights were too dim for photos. We ordered quail, something with vegetables, […]
Yes, I am most certainly breaking the Animal post into parts. There was too much food and too much fun to be distilled into one post. My parents came into town for a day this weekend, and we spent a few hours catching up and having a yumtastic brunch at Animal. My parents and I […]
A few months ago, Magneto and I had a relatively free weekend, so we decided to try out a Feastly event with We Have Noodles chef Darren Sayphraraj and team. This event was hosted at Feastly’s Venice location, just a few blocks from the beach. Free-flowing mimosas and Bloody Marys made sure the atmosphere was […]
We’ve all seen them. They’re ubiquitous. Everyone has at least one friend who reposts those highly addictive, incredibly hypnotic food videos – whether they’re Tasty, Tastemade, Eat This Now, or any number of similar, we see them every day. Tasty’s Breakfast Bread Bowl caught my boyfriend’s eye, so we set to work building our own […]
It’s rare that I get all the way to the eastside of Los Angeles, since we live in Miracle Mile and work on the westside/in the South Bay. Going anywhere east of Western and north of Hollywood Blvd is an adventure that our sleepy, domestic, video game-filled weekends rarely accommodate. And so it was a […]
