an homage to foie gras macaroons :

oh dear jim and lyle,
how you pamper and surprise us.
with your outdoor fetes,
your plaid shorts,
your jaunty friends.
-
-
and your platters of delicious
FOIE GRAS STUFFED MACAROONS.
-
-
yes, this is the proper way to imbibe them.
pinkie UP, people.

-
the fellow behind me is tim johnson.
he is married to the lovely blonde, mika, who is in the shot above with me.
he is looking at me here because he is admiring my
"nonchalant yet intentional" lean.
posture is everything to a tim johnson.
i know this from years of experience.
-
-
oh lyle.
don't be so surprised that i know these things.

lunch at the little door next door -

there's a great french restaurant here in l.a. called little door.
(o.k. honestly, it's not my favorite food.  it's good.  very good.  but the outdoor candlelit garden seating is hard to beat for ambience, and it's great for a group outing.)
-
they opened a more casual cafe next door called, predictably,
little next door.
-
cute bags.  cute logo.  cute food.
-
-
this picture is of crumbs.  a testament to how much i liked their interpretation of an oreo.
