Help! I’m having a little bit of an identity crisis. I told the barista that my name was “Rosa” but apparently, I’m “Posa”. Now, was he saying my name is “Posa” or is this a new slang/spelling for “poser”? I’m a poser? Who/what am I posing as? Rosa? I’m not Rosa? Obviously… But if I’m not Rosa, then who am I? Oh dear. At least I have some caffeine in me to fuel me as I sort out this existential quandary. 
Identity crisis… Seriously… “Posa”? Do I look like a “Posa”? Is that even a name? My wonderful husband arranged a dinner with friends at Providence to celebrate me turning 21 for the 10th time in my life. You can read about the first part of the meal here. After that delicious dinner, it was time for dessert, the real reason all of us were there. 
Cocktails First up was “Cocktails”. Three different drinks manipulated via magic (okay, more like molecular gastronomy) into morsels that you pop in your mouth.

Yelp Elemental party @ J Lounge Recently, I was invited to become a Yelp Elite member. Shortly after being inducted, I got notice of Yelp’s March party – Elemental at the J Lounge in Downtown LA. I decided that would make a nice break from moving and decided to take Husband along as my guest. 
Food trucks to whet our appetite When we got there at 7pm for the Elite hour, there was already a line out the door waiting for entrance. Fortunately, Yelp had hired several food trucks to keep us occupied – Flying Pig Truck, Fresser’s and Buttermilk. I grabbed a pastrami sandwich bite and some ube (sweet purple potato) and red velvet pancake bites . . . → Read More  Leave a comment Los Angeles, Yelp events aerialists, belly dancing, burlesque, Buttermilk truck, capoeira, chocolate, coffee, cupcakes, Dollhouse Bake Shoppe, DTLA, Elemental, flying pig truck, fresser's, J Lounge, kabob, Kitchen 12000, L'artisan du Chocolate, Los Angeles, marshmallows, Miracle Fruit, pancakes, pastrami, pho, Plus Puffs, tacos, vaudeville, yelp, Zen Arts LA |

Despite starting to feel full, I still went for the full 8 course dessert tasting menu. I didn’t know when I would be back so…*shrug* Can you blame me?
