BP in Southern California? As if!

Duuuude!  Sup. So, like, I totally am spending, like, a whole week in California.  I got picked up from the airport and took The 5 to The 22, then we took The 101.

After 3 days I finally ended up somewhere in Southern California near Disneyland.   Nobody knows how it happened, but I arrived.

If I was better at talking like a Southern Californian, I would try to do it through this whole blog post.  However, I am not. Instead, we will play a game of 'Find That So-Cal Word!'  where I intersperse some kewl Southern California lingo into this entry.  Good luck! I hope you do well!

I would now like to tell you about the BP I have had in the last 3 days.  This has been a 72 hours of new experiences.   What kind of new experiences, you ask?  Well, let's do a totes rad countdown:

10.  Smash Ball.

See how I am kicking up my left foot? That is the universal sign of happiness. This game is da bomb.

9. Bonzai Bowls.  Holy S.  I want to eat one of these every day for the rest of my life.They're totally rad.

8. Butter Beer.

Yes, as in "We still love Cedric Diggory" Butter Beer

7. Dodger Game.

No, I did not go to the No-Hitter.  Yes, I did get a tubular Orel Hershiser pin.

6. The Beach. <>

5.  4. 3. I am running out of new experiences and pictures to represent them.  Let's just skip down to the BP.

2. BP!! OMG, 4 realz? Cray, right?  Like, totes cray. The bread pudding below is from a place called Ritters in Huntington Beach.  As you may have observed from my pictures in countdown #'s 10-3, I hung out with  AKBJ, famed celeb of shows like "Real Housewives of Orange County" and "Celebrity Family Feud".     So, AKBJ wanted to show me how Huntington Beach does BP. And here is how they do:

Ritters had a very traditional BP. French bread. a sweet sauce. Ice cream. Their no-frill approach was welcomed, especially when I've had weird things like raisins, apples, lemon, bananas and other stuff in my BP lately.  I appreciated the back-to-basics approach. It was bitchin, brah. Moded!

1. Just when you think you've seen it all, she throws a curve ball at you!  I, Laura Suzanne Hoel, had a second BP this week! I BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING. After I left the house of AKBJ, I peaced out and went to work stuff (and also went to Downtown Disney). Here, I discovered a secret lair of BP.  It was at another Southern restaurant called the Jazz Kitchen.

Here you can see the BP:

And here you can see my bulging biceps:

This BP was quite surprising.  It was marketed as a chocolate bread pudding souffle and that was pretty much exactly what it was.  It was souffle on top, BP on the bottom.  It was like a 2-for-1 dessert extravaganza.  I dug it.  If you ever get it, follow Tracy's recommendation and go heavy on the dark chocolate sauce and light on the white chocolate sauce.

So If I could sum up my trip to Southern California in one word, what would it be?

Fetch. It was totally fetch.
