Greetings From LA

I hit the skies this weekend for some sister time in sunny California. It wouldn't be LA without lots of traffic and palm trees.

Curious George aka Harrison would really appreciate this banana tree.

As we entered this parking garage I noticed a electronic sign on each level. It lets the driver know how many spaces are vacant on that floor. What a time saver!

The highlight of the day was our dinner at Jar which is described as a modern chophouse in the heart of Los Angeles. The chef, Suzanne Tracht was a contestant on Top Chef Masters so I was extremely excited about dining there. I started with Bug Juice (raspberry stoli, lychee juice, pomegranate juice and fresh lime) and we shared the Pork Belly (with watermelon and mint) appetizer. Melissa ordered the Dover Sole with a side of creamed spinach and enjoyed the Boeuf Bourguignon. One word . . . yummy!
