Lost Party

Los Angeles People Connection had a party for the season premier of Lost .

It was at Sebastian's Restaurant in Toluca Lake .

Now, I have never been out to the Toluca Lake area before. And I have to say, I absolutely love it. All these cute little shops and restaurants along Riverside Drive. Its just a great area.

The best thing about Sebastians is that there is a big room in the back, where you can have a party. There is a big screen television surrounded by couches, so you can gather 'round and watch the TV. There is a pool table too.

The other interesting thing about Sebastians Restaurant, is that you choose from one of their toppings, and you put it on your choice of Pasta, mushroom sandwich, chicken sandwich or a salad.
I looked at the list of Toppings and chose a Mushroom Topping that had two kinds of mushrooms, and I got it on a chicken sandwich.
Then I also got a green salad that had mushrooms in it.
Yes, I am big on mushrooms now. Exotic mushrooms have been shown to have anti-cancer properties. And I really don't know how to cook the exotic mushrooms, so I figure if they are on a restaurant menu I will order them.

Well, eating out is sure difficult. I thought, by what I saw on the menu, that I was ordering according to the anti-cancer diet I was following. Oh, Eating out is doing to be really hard.

The sandwich arrived, and the first thing I saw was the huge gigantic White Bread. Oh, no, white Italian bread.
I didn't even think to ask if they had whole grain bread. It didn't even occur to me that it would be white bread. Oh, dear.

Then I bite into the sandwich, and I think "Wow, this is really good."
I take another bite "You know, this is way to good.
Another bite "This is so good, I know there is something in here that I am not supposed to be eating."

I open the sandwich - and in the mushroom tomato sauce there is - you guessed it - Cheese. Oh, no.
And then another Big Oh, No - there is that Bacon - on no, not Bacon, but that fancy Italian kind - Pancetta.
I sit with the sandwich on my lap, and everyone else is watching the TV - and I am picking out cheese and Pacetta.

I am going to have to be more aggressive when I order out in restaurants. I will have to make it clear that I don't eat Dairy and whatever else.

But all in all, the party was really fun. There were over 20 people who came to the party. And it was really fun watching the TV show premier with a group of people.
"Lost' is so thrilling, and so scary.
