Abbot Kinney+NylaDurdin+Coffee





My friend and I went to Abbot Kinney for coffee at Intelligensia, and to shoot by all the intresting colored walls and alleys they are so abundant with.
P.s these are merely a fraction of the photos we took but I can't upload the rest yet because I have 21k photos on my computer. Working on that.

Homemade chocolate covered strawberries, simply melt dark chocolate then dip the strawberries in it and put them in the fridge for 1 hour.

These muffins are perfect with a cup of tea on a cold day. Life rule: always say yes to baked apples. I found the recipe on hotchocolatehits.blogspot.com. Its insanley easy and simple (especially if you have friend to dice 3 cups of apples). 
Ingredients:
-3 apples- peeled, cored, and cubed. Should make 3 cups of chopped apples
-1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
-2 whole eggs
-1 cup vegatable oil
-1 tblsp vanilla extract
-1 teaspoon salt
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1 tspn baking soda
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1/3 cups brown sugar for sprinkling on the tops and making them pretty
Heres what you do (recipe abreviated by yours truly):
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin tray with 18 liners. In a medium sized bowl mix eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix in cinnamon, soda, and salt. Mix in 1 cup of flour at a time, use spatula to scrape the sides and occasionaly fold in the flour. Fold in the apple pieces. Fill in the liners 3/4 full and sprinkle each with 1-2 tsp of brown sugar. Bake for 20-24 minutes. Nom.

Food lab (silver lake travels)


I made my dad drive me to silver lake so we could go to Sqirl Cafe- a insta perfect coffee and food place. It was closed. We stumbled upon Food Lab. The interior is rustic with wooden tables, and little flower pots on each one. The outside has bright blue tables with sunflowers on each one. The cutest. We ate mueslie, it was the best I have had in LA. We also had lattes which came in red bowls which looked beautiful against the blue tables. Lastly came a perfect bowl of berries and yogurt. Yay. P.s this is me and my friend Zola, we had 15 min and were dying to record this song so- http://m.soundcloud.com/tuna_boon/sounds-from-saturday-afternoon
