That’s right, doing the birthday thing one more time.
Dear Clara treated me and Amy to a grand luncheon at Jean Jacques in the brand new Waldorf Astoria on Wilshire in Beverly Hills.
O.K., the following is for foodies only:
The assorted bread was so amazing we asked for a refill!
In front of Clara: A Dungeness Crab Cake with Sugar Snap Pea Remoulade and an Ahi Tuna Tartare with Crushed Avocado & Radish, Ginger dressing. In front of that, Crispy Sushi of Sea Trout, Chipotle Emulsion & Mint (The rice was fried and oh so yummy.)
I had Parmesan Crusted Organic Chicken with Artichokes, Basil & Lemon Butter
Amy’s Black Cod with Asparagus & Spiced Herbal Broth and a piece of Clara’s Salmon
Clara’s Sesame Crusted Salmon with Sautéed Potatoes, Black Olive & Passion Fruit.
Two too cute!
To all my Facebook and Instagram friends you watched Andrew teach me how to thrown down any big ol’ guy that tries anything! I was laughing so hard it got in the way of my Kung Fu mastery!
At American School of Martial Arts, Grand Master Don Baird demonstrates how the masters do it!!
Time to bend a little rebar…anyone?
Awwwww…..Bunny, Grand Master Maria, Nikka and Bridget…..Soooo cute!
Back to work …..I interrupted Nikka’s Photoshop class with Sweet Lynne & Kc to share a video on the 14th Factory……
Afterwards I was treated to a delightful birthday celebration at Bar Verde!
After a month of cleaning out the office it was time to hit the studio…..all this is from one file drawer of lessons……
Too much organizing….time for a joyful break with dear Lizzie at Bloomies!
We finally found the lights for video shoots. Hiding in one of the closets…..thought they were umbrellas!
At Lovely Marine’s for a pre 4th, 4th of July celebration…..I arrived early before the crowd….
Yes I had a burger and two tacos…..does that make me bad or only BIG!
Lovely Marine and her adorable, talented sister Eliza with yours truly….
Eliza and Tyler…..are they the cutest or what!!!
On to the Reilly’s for Jim’s brother Billy’s birthday celebration. Sandie Girl made a world class German chocolate cake! Soooo good!
Sandie with son Tim…..Not quite sure what all the wires were for but I love this photo….
Time for the Parker’s to celebrate the 4th! Kita was ready to party!
Of course it wouldn’t be the 4th without my grilled cheese sandwiches loaded with bacon ‘cause it’s all about the bacon!
Yes, we are so cute!
I must say the fireworks from the deck were absolutely the best this year with the exception of these which were a bit too close for comfort!
Wishing you a grand, celebratory summer!
