Mmmm! I especially love those appetizer-thingies. :) I’m an eggplant-lover! :)

Aaah, I finally watched White on Rice on Netflix! :D My boyfriend and I really enjoyed it! It’s incredibly funny and adorable to watch; the boyfriend laughed at everything (he really adores this type of comedy). And you were great in the film! ^__^v Can’t wait to watch more of your movies!

The zucchini-eggplant-tomato open-faced toast looks adorable and reminiscent of the ratatouille in the movie Ratatouille (was I the only one who thought those finely sliced rounds of veggies looked amazing?!). :3 Good find! Will add to our list of LA brunch places to check out.
