Bucket List
by Kelly Edwards | July 12th, 2009
Wow what a jam packed weekend I had over here! Friday started out by checking out a new restaurant in town with friends, Saturday was a full blown pool party and BBQ and last but not least, Sunday finished it off with the horse races at Hollywood Park here in LA. It has definitely been a weekend of great food, great conversation, and great company. Although I didn’t win a dime at the races, I did do one thing, I learned that I have no clue what Im doing when it comes to betting. I pick the horses who I feel have the “cutest” names, which obviously is not the best way to play. I lost big time! On a positive note however, throughout the course of the weekend my friends and I started a summer bucket list, which consists of everything we want to do this summer before its over. My list seemed like it was the longest…go figure. Im never happy unless Im doing 5 million things at once! Anyway, one of the things that I really want to do is eat farm to table food (all organic) whilst sitting amongst 19 of my closest friends on a farm. My friend Dave Sheinkopf (also from Design on a Dime), recently started a new eating experience called Table 20 and I can’t wait to try it. Table 20 is a perfect idea for anyone who wants to invite 19 of their friends or come alone and make 19. You eat on the farm at a 10 x 10 table, with a pre-fixed menu that includes cheeses, freshly picked veggies, steak, wine and dessert. Shuttles are also available so I definitely plan to take advantage of that too. I look forward to checking this out and marking it off my summer bucket list. Next up on my list… learning tennis, piano and spanish. Oy vey!!
