The Food of July

I can't even get over how much I ate this weekend. I was an eating machine. What a lovely eat fest it was though. On Friday afternoon I headed over to Krysta and Kenneth's BBQ and stayed through the evening. I made potato salad for the first time. It turned out pretty good, though I think it was just a bit too sweet and if I made it again I wouldn't add any sugar to it. Susan made a yummy strawberry rhubarb pie that tasted like summer. On Saturday, the 4th, I went over to Corinne's for a pool party for a few hours and soaked up a bit of sun. Then I headed over to Justin's for Jessica's birthday party in Playa del Rey. There was BBQ and beer pong and cupcakes. In the evening we walked over to the beach and watched the fireworks. When I was driving back to Hollywood that night there were pockets of fireworks all over town and it was such a fun drive. Sunday we picnicked in the park before the Hollywood Bowl show. I saw The New Pornographers, Tegan & Sara, and Death Cab For Cutie. Death Cab did there last few songs backed by the LA Philharmonic which was beautiful. For the last song they played Transatlanticism and fireworks went off that went with the beat of the song and it was amazing. Then their last note of the song was followed by an explosion of fireworks. After that I walked over to the Hollywood house for the tail end of Lisa's going away dinner.

Goodbye weekend, you were delightful!
