La Brea Bakery

I love bakeries - the smell, the presentation and of course the tasty goodness that awaits. To me entering a bakery is similar to getting a hug from an old friend. Bakeries are nostalgic and comforting...sigh.

A co-worker of mine has been raving about some scone she gets at La Brea Bakery...and I'm thinking, how good can a scone be? So one morning after my 6:30 yoga session (this sheep is built TUFF but remains flexible) I decided to stop by the bakery and try one out for myself. There are two different scones I've tried - the dried fruit scone and the blueberry scone (as seen in the picture). If you enjoy rough and tough scones (think fiber) you should definitely try the dried fruit. And if you're more of the fluffy type - get the blueberry and warm that bad boy in the oven prior to consumption; the outer layer will become crisp and the inside will remain moist. Mmmmm.

Dining around L.A. can be scary--especially if you are a sheep. Be especially careful at the "Farmer's Daughter" and their restaurant "Tart" on Fairfax. I hear they make an excellent sheep's milk tart.

Good luck on your food blogging adventures!
