paris in a bag wood blocks by MUJI.dinnered at rustic canyon on friday. dan had the burrata panzanella and grilled fennel sausages. i had the mussels and goat cheese tortellini. we split an orange cranberry cake (which comes from their huckleberry cafe) with vanilla bean ice cream. it was all very delicious, and being a wine bar, it had quite the wine selection. the burrata and goat cheese were both melt-in-your-mouth. the fennel sausage, which was paired with braised cavalo nero and polenta, was freaking awesome. and the mussels were the most flavorful i'd ever had. mm!
eli was in town for the weekend so we met him for bruch at king's road cafe in beverly hills. the coffee is STRONG, and the eggs benedict is served on a toasted croissant instead of the usual english muffin. that night we went to the daily pint in santa monica, our favorite local dive bar, for a rematch at shuffleboard. i was beaten miserably, but had lots of fun despite the place being a little uncomfortably packed with douchebags.
sunday afternoon we drove up to canyon country for the baptism of baby owen (allen&jisun's new boy). i had no idea what to expect because i've never been to a catholic baptism before but it turned out to be a nice little ceremony. afterwards, the 'reception' (really just an afternoon meal/snack) was at a nearby mexican restaurant.
