Everyone was in good spirits, quesadillas and hibiscus tea were enjoyed by all, and the craftiest craftspeople of Echo Park were busily hawking their wares.

Sunday Supper: Ragout

IMG_9638

It was a night to remember. Friends. Drinks. A view perched above the city. Ragout, that timeless melange of meats and vegetables slowly cooked until the flavors are completely intertwined and all you can say is mmmmmm.
