Hosting an oh-so-impromptu Cinco de Mayo party here at @casatexacali after being out of town for a bit might have sounded crazy to some.
But to me, it sounded essential.
After a challenging few weeks, I wanted to be surrounded by my LA family.
I wanted to...
Hear fajitas sizzling in the pan.
Bake up some margarita cupcakes with tequila lime buttercream frosting to tantalize everyone’s tastebuds.
Play some Mambo Kings and dance with my man in the kitchen.
I wanted to think of my college girlfriends who shared their sour cream chicken enchiladas with me back in the day at a lakehouse as I whipped up a batch for my friends out here in the middle of the city where Beverly Hills kisses LA.
I am just so grateful for every single one of my funny, feisty, talented, big-hearted friends.
Love y’all. — with Nick Yedinak, Sarah Katzman,Gianpaolo Santarelli, Janie Bryant, Justin Hamann,Kelly Valentine, Duke Punhong, Brett Freedman,Michael Wiebler, Jason Joel Lautenschleger andKatie Delahanty-Lautenschleger in Los Angeles, California.
