A Side of Fava Beans

Had a great weekend. Friday night I stayed at Angie and Matt's - she made the best sweet potato fries, and Matt grilled shrimp. Had a couple of drinks at Bird's. Sort of a disaster because a 26-year-0ld musician kept hitting on me. I told him it was one or the other - either he had to be at least 30 or not be a musician. Seriously. Then his friend told me that it was good I "took his ego down a notch." NOT what I was trying to do. I was trying to be honest. Oops. Saturday, Ang and I went to Jeffrey's workshop. It was great. www.jeffreytambor.net. Very inspirational and funny. Saturday night, we went to Nathan's dinner party. It was great. I made stuffed mushrooms and Sherisse's fig spread and parmesan crackers. Nathan made roast lamb and these great potatoes and french beans. His house is straight out of the Secret Garden. It's up in the Hollywood Hills with a pool that looks like a lagoon. It was really fun. It was Siohban, a screenwriter (Nathan), production company exec, a director, an actor, a model, and a publicist (me!). Felt a little cliche, but I loved it. Then, we went to a club in Hollywood and got to drink free champagne all night, which is just about my favorite thing ever. Siobhan and I stayed at Nathan's and we lounged around most of the next day and helped clean up.
