716. LA Diary

<p>Welcome back to the LA Diary</p> <p>LA diary: the week that was in LA!<br /><br />THE GREAT AUSSIE BITE<br />Matt and I got invited but Aussie Tourism to attend the &ldquo;Great Australian Bite&rdquo; and can I say, it was wonderful. It was hosted at Curtis Stone's &ldquo;Four Stones&rdquo; farm in Agoura Hills (which is essentially like the hinterland of Malibu). It was stunning, he has his own vineyard out there and he was legit cooking us dinner. Well, us and 350 other souls, the location was so pretty!<br />All the booze was local Aussie owned and created too. The star of the show was this slow cooked spiced lamb shanks with dates and pistachios. The passionfruit custard tart was pretty special too!<br />It was such a fun way to spend a day in California!<br /><br />MUM IN TOWN<br />Mum landed a couple of days ago, she's off to NYC now but she had a couple of days to kick the jet lag here in LA, we took to her a belated mothers day brunch at a place in Highland Park called &ldquo;Highly Likely&rdquo; I got a great GF turkey sando, Boss got the brekkie burrito and Mum got this delish savoury Japanese dish.<br />She's off to NYC now and I'm jealous because she's seeing Denzel in Othello and George Clooney in Good Night and Good Luck! It's going to be unreal, she's in for such a treat!<br />We'll be catching up next week when she's in Memphis.<br /><br />LAST OF US<br />We're house sitting for our lovely friends this week and they have HBO so it's been such a treat to be watching season 2 of The Last of Us, we've just seen the most heartbreaking episode. Matt was mortified, ah it's such a brilliant show. And you know how I feel about anything Pedro Pascal!<br /><br />MEMPHIS and NASHVILLE PLANING<br />For an early birthday pressies for mum I've booked us tickets to Graceland, so I think she'll love that. We're also hoping to visit Sun Studios and the Civil Rights museum. I'm then spending a day in Nashville before heading back to LA so if you have any Nashville or Memphis tips please let me know!<br />Righto, that's me from LA, no auditions this week but have booked a laser skin appointment and getting my hair dyed again so I'll do fresh head shots in a couple of weeks.<br /><br />Big love from La La Land,<br /><br />Lola</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
