Pleasantly Exciting

I had the privilege of watching a free show of Ernie Watts Jazz Quartet this past Friday. Just like when I saw them at the Jazz Bakery, I was taken on an emotional roller coaster, pulled through the highs and lows of sax solos, cedar flutes, and one sick bassist.


Check it out.


What else has been going on? A day trip to L.A., including a stop at Phillipe's for some lemonade and a Danish.


Quite refreshing.


Next, lunch at Cafe Angelino over by the Beverly Center for a lunch filled with fresh ingredients, friendly service, and delicious bread.

Caprisi salad


And Margherita Pizza with Prosciutto


To top things off... a celebration of Fall!

Pumpkinbread cupcakes baked by Hannah...


A splattering of pumpkin guts


and the finished products.


Absolutely lovely.
