I am still in LA and loving every minute of this amazing weather! I know that we New Yorkers are supposed to hate LA but I really like it here. My only complaint is all the driving; I just don't think I could ever get used to it. I like my cities to be walkable. Thankfully, I had the very fabulous Cathy of California to drive me around and show me the sights. She even rescued me from the bus stop one day after I had the audacity to try to use the LA public transportation system!
Anyway, over the next couple of days I am going to blog about some things that have inspired me over my trip.
Jin Patisserie in Venice makes beautiful sculptural pastries, chocolates and cookies. We were drawn in by the idyllc garden out front and left with a delicious box of macarons in flavors like yuzu, ume and violet cranberry. I am happy with even the most mediocre of macarons (that's how much I love them!) but when they're good, I'm in heaven.
