Ladies Who Lunch

Blogged by Heather Bullard

This past week Ki flew into LA so she and I could plan all the stories for the magazine and go over locations, flight schedules, and our very favorite topic...the budget. We had 3 days of back to back meetings to discuss houses, stories, shops, artists, pitch our ideas to each other, come up with new ones, and finally implement a plan of action on the issue. Boy do we have our work cut out for us!

Usually these meetings run all day long with the time passing so quickly you hardly look up and it's 2:00. Time for a lunch break. What better place to be than in LA when you're hungry? The possibilities are endless. Cafes, restaurants, and bistros are lined up along an entire city block. You think each day we would choose something new. Nope. We loved the food and atmosphere so much at Larchmont Bungalow that we ate there every. single. day. You can see for yourself how absolutely charming it is...

And the food was so delicious. Positively yummy. We had a solid plan each day of ordering a salad and sandwich then splitting the order to share. Good idea, right?

But I have to say the be all, end all to visiting Larchmont Bungalow....the cake. The Strawberry Shortcake Cake to be exact. Here it is staring at us through the bakery case window.

It had a strong, powerful hold over us and Ki even dreamed about it. So of course, we had to order it again the next day. Poor things. Suffering for the sake of putting together the next issue.

Well, maybe it's just our waistlines that will suffer because we are having the best time preparing a knock out magazine for you to enjoy! If you're ever in the LA area be sure to stop by Larchmont Bungalow. Tell them we sent you. They'll probably remember us. Cheers, Heather!
