Notes From: Gjelina

Oh, and what a weekend it was! From watching ice cream carts and wooden barrels fly down the hill at the Soap Box Race to taking a lazy 37-mile bike ride from Downtown to Venice and back, it was two days of fodder and libations, good company and good sights. In my new NOTES FROM, I'll share my snaps of these (epicurean) adventures. Here are a few from our feast at Gjelina—mushroom and truffle oil pizza, a strawberry rhubarb tart and a tall lemonade—and of two canine buddies behind the wheel of an old Ford for a day out and about on Abbot Kinney. Don't worry, I'll still dish out an earful if I find pups in a car, but in this case, it was a cool 60° out and their people friends were nearby.

Swell Sip: Darling Bud of May

May is a time for picnics and flowers. Or maybe in your case, soapbox races and listening to The Little Ones at the Silver Lake Jubilee. However you spend this dear weekend, here is a SWELL SIP from our friend Jenna Sais Quois that is a bit botanical, a bit tart, and a bit perfect for this fair month. Chin-chin!
