Saturday I met up with the lovely Maya at Bonobo’s. We could have talked for hours!
We both ordered Nori Wraps, which I’ve ordered every time. Delicious!
I like mixing dressings here. The Diablo is very spicy, so I cut some of the heat with Sweet Basil.
Maya and I split a Coconut Chai shake… it really tastes like liquid heaven.
After our lunch date, I met a friend at Starbucks for coffee. I didn’t want too much caffeine as it was almost 4, so I stuck to a cup of Vanilla Rooibos tea with a splash of soy milk. (Don’t mind my chipped polish!)
Did some light reading and munched on fresh fruit and veggies when I got home…
Quick Japanese feast for dinner…
PVP (Papa Veggie) trekked down to The Lite Choice to pick up a cup of almond butter frozen yogurt with mini chocolate chips. What a guy!
I was up pretty late cooking, and in a moment of kitchen stress- my pesto wouldn’t “pest”!- reached for a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Truffle my mom had picked up at Godiva.
Sunday was spent in a flurry of activity: we had our annual holiday party last night. (Read about last year’s party here.)
When our guests arrived, we greeted them with Manhattans.
Recognize that girl?
We had fine cheeses…
Caviar puffs (we dream about these all year)…
Coconut Crab Soup…
Red Cabbage w/ Apples & Toasted Walnuts…
White Wine form Alsace…
Homemade Strawberry Sorbet to cleanse the palate…
Almond-Orange Cake…
Chipotle-Spiced Brownies…
Lemon-Custard Sponge Cake w/ raspberry sauce…
You can bet I went back for seconds on everything! It was a great party.
Well, it’s back to bed I go. I’ve already slept for six hours today, but I’m still not feeling great. Have a lovely day

Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well. Perhaps you need another truffle…or six. (Chocolate-raspberry really are the best.) That red cabbage looked great, by the way. Feel better!
Yummy eats! TLC sounds great!
Everything looks so fantastic!
First, those Nori Wraps look huge and really filling! How is the pricing at Bonobo’s? I’ve been looking for a great place to eat with my friend (whose limited for eating out because she’s vegan), but if they have vegan choices too, that would be great!
Second, the dinner party looks lovely too. Especially the desserts (I am weak for sweets).
