Bread Pudding, Anyone?
The Annual Toluca Lake Christmas Walk (free food samples from the restaurants, Santa, carollers...) was put slightly on hold last night when Barbara's office building caught on fire. There we were at the packed bar of Mo's having some Christmas cocktails when her partner called to inform us. "Uh, when you tell Barbara, try not to sound too panicked..."
It was practically business as usual in the coffee shop that is housed on the bottom floor of the building and the Burbank Fire Department didn't seem too frazzled about all the smoke billowing out of the back door.
We went back to Mo's and I talked football with a scientist and Barbara pondered the imminent smoke damage and the business insurance premium she JUST paid days before.
