“The Apothecary” is a new Young Adult novel written by Maile Meloy that’s been getting rave reviews – Abe’s already read (and loved) it – think “Harry Potter” meets John le Carré
We celebrated the book’s release yesterday – couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw who was there:
Been wanting to try Cool Haus for years, but have never caught up with the truck. They gave me samples of every flavor!!!
I shared a heavenly Potato Chip and Skor Bar cookie with 3 friends, before hitting the dinner buffet
Heirloom LA did a tremendous job catering – every single bite was wonderful!!!
Pizzas, grilled veggies, charcuterie…
…delectable passed hors d’oeuvres
My favorite bite was the chicken n waffles with a blueberry/whipped cream topping. I ate seconds of those, along with another plate from the Crostini Station…
…then hit the Taco Buffet
Stuffed one tortilla with beef shortrib, salsa, and guac; on the side – halibut, chicken, and caponata
Pretended to be a kid
Ready to burst at this point, but there was one more thing on the menu…
My Cool Haus creation – Blackberry Ginger Sorbet sandwiched between a Maple Waffle and Vegan Ginger Cookie
Epic. Sooooo epic.
I dominated the entire dessert, but just a taste of the paper it came wrapped in.
Yup, that’s right. Edible. Tasted like communion wafer.
Hope the kiddies don’t try nibbling the pages out of this book – I want to read them!

Cool Haus looks amazing! But I don’t really get what it has to do with Germany/German stuff?
they’re paying homage to rem koolhaas, the architect!
Looks like foodie paradise! That potato chip cookie sounds awesome. You seem to have the same strategy as me at events with so many food options – little tastes of everything so you don’t miss out! I like it
Potato chips in a cookie? That’s definitely appealing to the pregnant lady in me.
I want to eat like you every day; seriously! The chicken n waffle hors d’oeuvre looks amazing
I am drooling over the thought of a potato chip cookie.
That book looks interesting – I am going to have to order it.
Pretty sure I could be talked into most anything with that blackberry ginger sorbet sandwich. I luv you, but would have wrestled you to the ground to swipe it from your little fingers.
Cool Haus ROCKS!
Saw them on the cooking channel and just nodded my head ‘yes yes yes, what a clever, genius creation’
ok seriously so jealous of the amazing food you have around you…everything looks great! that cookie sandwich, yum!!
Cool – I hadn’t heard of that book until now! Thanks for sharing.
I have to stop reading your blog before bedtime, it makes me so HUNGRY, lol! And thank you for sharing about the book, I’ve been looking for a Harry Potter-esque fantasy to get me away!
What wonderful food, & to catch the Cool Haus truck too!
