I am really enjoying Hawaii Five-O! Not just because I love Hawaii, but I really do think the show is entertaining and clever (and Alex O'Loughlin...yum). This week's episode featured our hotel and surrounding area A LOT so that may have made me enjoy it even more.
We started watching Dancing with the Stars this season and it is good! I like most of the teams, but poor Michael Bolton really has to go.
Last Sunday, C and I had to escape the Valley heat so we went to Venice Beach for the Abbot Kinney Festival. We had so much fun and I found the cutest vendor, Bungalow 360. I am kicking myself now for not buying more because all of the wallets, wristlets, and tote bags were $5 each! She sells them on the website for waaaaaay more.
Speaking of the festival, there were also an abundance of food trucks there. C and I had to try Baby's Badass Burgers to compare them to the Grill 'Em All guys. So supposedly, Ryan (the owner of Grill 'Em All), worked for Baby's for 2 weeks before he quit and opened his own truck! There is a big divide here in Los Angeles over who has the best burgers. And apparently C and I are divided as well. I choose Baby's...he likes Grill 'Em All.
Do any of you watch the Cooking Channel? I was watching a show called Unique Eats and saw a pie place in New York called Four and Twenty Blackbirds. They make a very delicious looking "Salted Caramel Apple Pie" that was featured on the show. It looked AMAZING! So I googled it and found the recipe...definitely going to be trying this soon!
Okay, I didn't realize this post was so food centered, but who are we kidding? We all know I love my food :)
I hope you are all having a wonderful week!

Hope you're staying cool in this crazy heat! xoxo
yay! can't believe I won. I will be emailing you my shipping address. From what I have seen from your blog I think we live pretty close to one-another haha :)
Oooh...Caramacs! Those candies are SINFUL!
uh...YUM!
Is the new Hawaii 5-0 as wonderfully cheesy as the old one? I LOVED Kono. "Eh - bedda go pick 'em up, boss") He always looked so uncomfortable in that suit they made him wear ("'eh - why hoales make us weah da kine clothes? No can breef in dis!")
Sorry. My husband's parents are from Hawaii & that's how they talk.
Anyway. Don't know if I can cheat on my old H50 for the new one.
Congrats to the winner and that gift basket looks so wonderful! I can almost taste the shortbread cookies from Honolulu Cookie Company (they were a fave of mine when we were there).
I should start watching Hawaii 5-0 just to see some Hawaiian scenery. I'm sure the show is pretty good too :)
I so wish we had food trucks like that here. The festival sounds like a blast!
XOXO
I love Hawaii 5-0! Alex O'Loughlin is such a cutie, and even though I never really cared about Scott Caan before, he's growing on me.
I also am loving DWTS this season!
