perfect ending to a crazy day


photo via la times

when i awoke to embark on my friday morning, i had no idea that the rest of my day would be filled with so many surprises. i'll make the long story short by providing key incidents and phrases: hit and run (yes, in an intersection filled wth people, the guy actually thought that backing away from the scene, slowly, was a good idea). early-mid morning blur. home-visit, very rough part of los angeles (imagine me, walking the streets in my vintage boots, with a large trader joe's bag filled with games, looking lost and majorly out of place). client's mother asked where i parked, some 4 blocks away, she let out a gasp and said, "That's too far!" i'm doomed.
on my way home via side streets, i professed my interest in another not-yet-up-and-coming area, stating, "things are really shaping up around here." minutes later, gentleman with clown triangle tattoos above and below both eyes began smoking a cigarette through his trac-tube. i need a drink!

after much debate, nick and i decided to head over to one of my favorite restaurants for fondue. i also discovered a tasty champagne cocktail that dates back to the 17th century. here's the recipe: soak a sugar cube in bitters, drop it into a flute, fill the flute with champagne and prosecco. interesting flavor combination, not too sweet.
