Silver Lake Supper Club

So Saturday I spent all day chopping every known vegetable on the planet. Why, you ask? Because I was hanging out sous-chef style with my girl Carrie. Because I got to attend her amazing Silver Lake Supper Club that night fo' free. And because I love to cook and Carrie is the best chef I know, so I figured I could learn while I chopped and I chomped.

My girl's Silver Lake Supper Club brings together perfect strangers in secret locations to eat an amazing gourmet Slow Food meal, every other month. There's a wait list, dudes, and it is long. (Unless you chop all day, and then you zoom right to the front.)

This time, the secret location was this pretty Schindler house with a gorgeous view and a really nice host, the menu was vegetarian, and I got to feel like I kinda saved the day when I McGyvered tea bags out of coffee filters and toothpicks. Very satisfying.

I will leave you with the menu. I myself left with half a coconut cake.
