I love bringing friends from Sweden to the farmers market here in L.A. Today Marlene got to taste heirloom tomatoes for the first time. She had never seen one before. These juicy and sometimes funny looking tomatoes are the best ones (its not beef tomatoes). Heirloom is seeds that have been saved and passed down from generation to generation. I love the tomato season here and I love that the farmers market offers all these things as well. Raw honey, homemade almond butters and look at all those mushrooms. This German guy had any mushroom you can think of today, picked somewhere in the woods along the northern Cali coast.

New store alert on Abbot Kinney. Beach House Creamery!  It’s always summer in here. This place is stuffed with good beach gear, accessories, clothes, swimwear, beach bags and such. And they have their own creamery truck parked outside.

Went for a late brunch at Saltair today. The place that has one of L.A’s best lobster rolls. I had my mind set on one of those little beauties but then I took a closer look at the meny and realized they actually served some good looking brunch too. So we had a bunch of brunch instead. We got a mushroom omelette (french style), gravlax with poached egg, croque madame and a green pea toast. The green pea thing was really good.

Does it look like it’s cold outside? No way! It has been insanely hot here today.
