I went to La Brea Bakery today for a relaxing lunch with my boyfriend of a year and a half. He ordered a Grilled Turkey Bacon sandwich and I ordered a regular tuna salad sandwich and a Italian Nut Cookie for dessert. The first time that I went to La Brea Bakery (today was my third visit) I was debating between the Italian Nut Cookie and the Iced Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, because the latter looked so unique from anything else that had been given it's name. The employee was very generous and after I picked one of the cookies, gave me the other one for free. With that friendly service and what I would soon find to be my favorite cookie, I knew they had made a regular customer out of me. :) By todays order, I'm sure you can tell which cookie I fell in love with. :P It doesn't hurt that the bakery is within walking distance of my apartment.

Our lunch followed a visit to the Farmers Market in Larchmont. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures, but we bought Apricots, Jumbo Golden Raisins, Donut Peaches, a baby Watermelon, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Grape Tomatos, 3 ears of Corn and three bins of Strawberries. Once the capitalization started, I couldn't stop...one fruit/veggie is not better than the other. :P

I'll be in Santa Monica tomorrow for medical, social and work related issues~ wish me luck!
