Birthday Week

As you know, this week has been extra special since my birthday was on the 15th. Like most normal people, I've been celebrating all week long! I've had approximately 3 1/2 drinks, 2 1/2 cupcakes, and lots of delicious food and good times with my family and friends. Here's to 23 years of life! And more adventures to come! Here is my week in Instagram pix, followed by my amazing gifts:

 

(1) Vintage plates and tea cups from Rachelle for our apartment. She has the best eye! 2) Gorgeous flowers from my one and only Valentine. It's all I asked for. 3) A carefully crafted terrarium from my co-workers. After trying it in almost every room, it now sits in our bathroom. 4) JewelMint friendship bracelets and earrings from Abi. The arm party continues!)

Short Order

I know, I know, it's been a exactly a week and a day since my last post. It's a blogging sin, I'm fully aware! But I'm back now, and I promise this won't happen again in the near future.

Anyway, I finally got to check out one of LA's newest burger joints, Short Order, located at the Farmer's Market on 3rd and Fairfax. If you've ever been to the Farmer's Market, you know how stressful it can be. On top of finding the perfect effortless outfit to peruse the Grove in (post to come), you have another pretty crucial decision to make: what to eat. Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Mediterranean.. You name it and the Farmer's Market has it. So, in efforts to make your decision a little easier next time, check out Short Order.

What I love about Short Order (and just learned!) was that it was created by a set of BFFz (Amy and Nancy) who, for 30 years, have shared a passion for food and cooking. Did I mention that they emphasize organic and locally raised ingredients? Let's just say my tomato was brown in color. I know, I'm impressed, too. But let's get to the good stuff..

I ordered Ida's Old School Burger, which consisted of grass-fed beef, cheddar, pickles, tomato, griddled onion, iceberg lettuce, and secret sauce. Like one Yelper said, "I feel like I'm eating farm!" The ingredients were amazingly fresh, and the burger was simply delicious. I'll definitely be back to try one of their melts. And a custard shake. And cookies. And maybe pie. Okay, bye.
