I’ve recently returned from an exhausting trek to India and as Ricky Ricardo would say if he were alive today (and a real person), I have a “lot of bloggin’ to do”!

In the meantime, I needed a nice, luxurious lunch at a snooty Beverly Hills hotspot to try to flush some of the curry out of my system.

Those of you who know me or read this blog, know that I did NOT eat the meal above (crab and linguini with lobster), my friend did.

I did, however, consume the items below.

Arancini - Fried Risotto stuffed with mozzarella and peas. GREAT!

Vegetariano Salad (with chicken)
