Weekend

Friday morning started with a walk to Santa Monica downtown where we met up with my cousin Amanda and her husband Mick who just arrived in California. It was really windy and cold outside but we decided to take a stroll down Venice beach. We landed at Ale house, and then we went to a little Indian place to get some take away food.

That evening we went to my husband's work holiday party which was so much fun. It was held at a really cool place in Downtown LA called One eyed gypsy. Check it out if you're in town! Unfortunately we didn't know it was a 1920's themed party, but luckily there were props like pearls and feather enough for everyone. I wish I had brought my camera!

On Saturday me and Amanda went to The Grove, where Christmas always is kind of crazy. No fake snow (yet) but otherwise it's been Christmas since Thanksgiving over there.

We met up with the boys and had lunch at one of my absolute favorite places in LA; Farmer's market. There's something calming about slowly walking through the market, just breathing in the air and thinking about what to have for lunch. There's so much stuff to look at that it's almost like time doesn't exist in there. It's sounds silly, I know but once you'll make it a Sunday habit going there, you will know what I mean.

My very stylish cousin Amanda.

On Sunday it was raining all day, and we didn't really feel like doing anything. We went to Huckleberry for brunch, and even though we had to stand in line for about about half an hour it was really worth it. Great coffee and the Croque monsieur was amazing!

For dinner I made Sea bass with Gnocchi. I've never made this before but with a little (a lot) of help from my dear husband I did it!

I stole some pics from Amanda.
