Thurs, Aug 14 - Jasper's first birthday!

10.28am - the 'detoxifier juice' (beets, apples, lemon, parsley - although by the looks of it they were out of parsley), from Coral Tree Cafe, outside work10.34am - eggs Marcella (with penne pasta, pancetta, sun-dried tomatoes and fontina cheese, plus potatoes), from Coral Tree Cafe, at work
2.14h - award-winning Parisian macarons from Paulette in Beverly Hills, at work. I managed to limit myself to four of them and take the rest home for Ritesh to try. But the full dozen I got here (plus one extra on the house) are: coconut, sweet almond wedding, Sicilian pistachio, Earl Grey tea, caramel, chocolate, lemon, violet cassis, coffee, grapefruit, peach and vanilla. Outstanding macarons. Can't imagine they make them better at Laduree.

Note that this was lunch...
7.57h - lebanese lemon chicken, hummus, baba ganoush, salad from Gabbeh Mediterranean Grill on Washington, and Hedy's fried rice, at Laura's for Jasper's birthday, with Laura, Richard, Jasper, Jane, Gary, Inger, Didrik, Susan, Marjane and a few neighbors.
7.57h - what it says on the bottle
9.19h - Laura's famous traveling bowl, which spent the better part of the decade moving around the country with Jane
9.21h - Jasper's birthday cake and fruit salad - should really post a picture of the birthday boy on his big day...
...and here he is, little Jasper with his hand in the cake, and his lovely mom. Can't believe it's been a year since the day that I trekked over to St. John's hospital with matzo ball soup and our DVD player...
