Weekend Recap...

Monday Monday Monday!!! Hope you all had a great weekend.  I started my weekend with a dinner and wine at Vintage Enoteca and then the screening of Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest(fabulous documentary) on Friday. Vintage Enoteca is a small and quaint wine bar in Hollywood serving up some tasty small plates and great wine and beer. We also made it just in time for happy hour, but only on the food.  Kinda strange, but it worked for us. All the food was half off. Everything was very tasty, and I will definitely be going back. 

Took this photo while waiting for my friend and hubby to arrive.
Love the colors and the name of this florist.

We ordered a lot more food than this, but I forgot to take photos. Awww...I know! I was busy eating! 

Then...on Saturday night my bookclub crew did Girls Night Out and it was a major blast.  We started the night off at Fig & Olive for some really fabulous food, cocktails, and girl talk. They specialize in Mediterranean cuisine from the South of France, Italy, and Spain  Let me tell you, this place was the hot spot and the food was great. Loved every minute of it! I think I want to go back for my birthday. We had good times!
