Greetings from La La land! While most of you have already headed back to work or school, I'm luckily enough to be in week 2 of my vacay. Sigh. Life is good. Did I mention it's been sunny and warm?! The BF and I have been pretty busy seeing friends, family and not to mention throwing a New Year's Eve party! This past weekend, the BF, being the good BF he is, drove me to Laguna Hills to meet Mo from
Pink Argyle. Mo and I had pondered where exactly to meet since she's in San Deigo, and I'm in LA. Luckily, someone on
Chowhound had already posed the question and in response, the
Break of Dawn was recommended. Now this was the second time I had met someone through my blog, the first being Jess from
JessReads whom I met at the
Sash & Bustle opening. With Jess, neither of us knew what we looked like, we just knew each other's names and we both live in Toronto - akin to a 'blind friend date.' With Mo, it was a bit different since we've gotten to know each other through our blogs and have even exchanged emails. In other words, I really feel like I know Mo.....even though we had never met. Oh how technology brings us all together! Mo and I (and the BF aka my chauffeur) had a great time chatting. It was really like seeing an old friend I hadn't seen in awhile. Mo and I discovered we had a lot in common....we are both of Asian descent, we both have 2 sisters, we are both wedding bloggers and we both have ex-boyfriends who became 'mystics' in exotic countries (long stories).
In addition to the great conversation, we chowed down on some delicious breakfast. I had the Potato Skillet.
And the BF had the yummy omelet.
In you live in the O.C., I highly recommend Break of Dawn. Thanks Mo for a great time!
Have you met your 'blogger friends'? What was it like?

how awesome that you two met, and your meal looks quite yummy! i haven't met any blog friends but hope to.
Hmmmm...I live right next to Laguna Hills...drive through it every day on my way home from work. Never heard of that place...will have to check it out :)
Happy new year! Have fun in SoCal, I'm so jealous!
yay for you guys getting to meet up! the food looked yummy! i haven't had the opportunity to meet any blogging friends yet unfortunately. I attempted to meet up with Chic 'n Cheap while I was in London but I ended up having technology issues and wasn't able to arrange it :(
LOL, re: ex-boyfriends frolicking off to foreign countries to find themselves...while I was driving home I was replaying that conversation in my head and thinking..."wow, I guess she really wasn't joking about her ex? Her ex-bf story totally kicks mine out of the water, Buddhism totally trumps organic farms."
It was great to meet you+BF too!
How fun! Seriously tasty looking meal! If I'm ever in SoCal/Toronto hope to have some lovely meals with you too!
Gah I come over here after a million year break and there is the most amazing food just taunting me. Wah.
Plus your in the sunshine.
