I’ve been so blessed with chocolate (and sweet & thoughtful friends) this week! Earlier in the week, my sis-in-law gave me a big box of See’s (and I promptly fished out and ate the sole Rum Nougat candy). Then, another friend sent me some decadent chocolate (plus some workout apparel…all about balance!). And K brought [...]

The Patisserie at the SLS Hotel puts on a High Tea service that is very a fun way to spend an afternoon hanging out with some girl friends. This is definitely not a traditional High Tea (menu), but afternoon tea in LA has become much more innovative and interesting. Our reservations were for 3:30pm on [...]

It’s not a place you would just stumble upon…if you find yourself there, then you definitely went there with a purpose. It seemed like a popular spot for “well to do” locals. While we were there, the three [...]

Choala Yummy and I used to hike every Saturday morning at Griffith Park. We stopped after the fires last year. She introduced me to Alcove Cafe, which is a nice little place to relax after hiking on a weekend morning. I especially like the chai tea. Anyway, Scott Gold of the LA Times wrote an [...]

One of my favorite treats comes from Big Island Candies. I remember when these were only available when family friends would be kind enough to gift us with these tasty shortbread cookies on their return trip from Hawaii.
