Savor LA by Parallel Lines

This entry begins with my friend Joan (pronounced Joanne!). She is fantastic and is part of a new company called Parallel Lines. I barely know all the details but her and her team (kara and Mike) put on Savor LA on July 30th at Miauhaus Sudios
1201 South La Brea Avenue. Will and I weren't going to attend originally because of the $35 dollar price tag each but lucky for us, we know Joan! So, we got to go VIP! Amazing!

Will and I strolled in at about 7:45 and were greeted by lovely ladies, one of them being a friend I had not seen in years. That's always a good way to start a night. We entered the photography studio blanketed in white to find tables buzzing w
ith people. After whetting our appetites at the fruit and cheese table, we proceeded with our mini dessert adventure. We began with Plaisir and I"m not sure the "real" name but they were like these little delicious bites of puffy bread filled with cream. Moving on we had S'muffins from Gotta Have S'more which were muffins that somehow were s'mores. These were a bit dry and not too delicious. We moved onto our VIP treatment in our sectioned off area with open bar and indulged in Freixenet Champagne with Pama from the alcohol sponsors. The Pama Liquer tasted refreshing and the Champagne was smooth. Will drank a couple blushing ladies, as did I. We ventured off into the general public area and stood in the longest line there for N'Ice Cream. This was probably my favorite thing at the event. I had the Argentine Caramel with salt ice cream and Will, no surprise, had the mint-chip. They were both delicious, super creamy and VEGAN! I'm not sure what argentine caramel means but maybe like a dulce de leche?

next we had little cake and cream sandwiches that I really liked by Frosted Cupcakery and also tried weird little chocolate bites with some kind of fruit ( i think) by The Crosby Sadly, this guy is like waaaay out in the valley and let's be honest, I probably will not make it out there any time because I can't stand being in traffic. Last we had these little cute brownies by Sweets For The Soul with very substantial names considering. They had Obama Brownies made of white and dark chocolate, need I say more.

The whole time we were there, Will and I basically were smiling as big as possible stoked out of our minds that everything was FREEEEEEE. We seriously had the BEST time and owe Joan big time.
We ended our adventure at the food truck No Reservations where we completed our REVERSE DINNER with two lamb tacos and a Rosemary's baby Wrap. Both were delicious and filling. Perfect way to end an evening.
