P.T.

Although P.T. will always be a California boy at heart, he recently felt it was time for a change, for a new adventure. Ignoring all warnings of cold winters and terribly humid summers, he thought it would be fun to give life in Washington a try. Before leaving, however, he made certain to hit all of his favorite spots and savor his favorite treats. He first stopped by 21 Choices, where he indulged in the shop's delicious frozen yogurt. P.T. was delighted that one of the flavors of the day was Reese’s Overload, a combination of white and chocolate Reese’s, NutRageous and peanut butter…yum yum!


Later in the day, P.T. made his way to the Ford Amphitheatre. Located in the Hollywood Hills, the Ford is the perfect setting for a relaxing evening of wine, food, conversation and culture. P.T and his friends enjoyed a picnic on the grounds, noshing on tasty cheeses, salads and wine, and finishing their feast with homemade chipotle peanut brittle, and vanilla and pistachio éclairs from Bottega Louie (Even though he’s not usually an éclair kind of guy P.T thought that they were very tasty!).


They then made their way into the amphitheater to hear the enthusiastic Gregorio Luke give his talk, Life-size Murals of Rufino Tamayo.


Wanting to fit in as much as he could before leaving, P.T even made a stop on the way to the airport. While he cannot recommend the city of Torrance itself, it is home to the Alpine Village, a fabulous place for picking up German delicacies, dirndls and holiday decorations. The Alpine Village hosts the largest Oktoberfest in Southern California, and even has its own chapel! After some shopping P.T. indulged in a just out of the oven pretzel and German potato salad – of course only in Southern California was he able to enjoy it with Tapatío hot sauce!
