Molly Baz found herself in Los Angeles by chance. In March 2020, she was on vacation in Los Angeles with her family when government representatives published a home order due to COVID. She did not feel comfortable going back to her crowded building in New York.
In Sunday Funday, people give us a game game of their Sunday ideal in the city. Find ideas and an inspiration where to go, what to eat and how to enjoy life on weekends.
“So, I have just ended up extending my stay here, then we never got home,” explains Baz, recipe developer, food personality and author of the cooking books “Cook this book” and more recently, “The more it's more.”
Baz and her husband, Ben Willett, creative director and spatial designerWith their 6 -month -old son, Gio and Wiener Dog Tuna, they live from their home in Altadena. Their property is adorned with nearly 40 palm trees – an important sale argument for Baz. When asked what she likes most to live in Los Angeles, she says: “It's so a cliché, but I love palm trees so much. The palm trees have been symbolic of vacation for me forever, so now I'm like, I can live in a place that looks like a vacation. “”
Her latest project, a mayonnaise brand called Ayoh (pronounced “A-Yo”), is partially inspired by her move to the during the pandemic, she organized a podcast called “The sandwich universe“And made tons of sandwiches. She often mixed her mayonnaise with Marconi Hot Giardiniera of the flavor to make her own sauce, which triggered the moment of the bulb.
“I said to myself, that's exactly what the sandwiches need, then this kind of mind opened my mind to all the other flavors that I could present in Mayo to make multi-technical Sando sauces, really interesting and delicious as we call them,” says Baz.
A few days before the launch of Ayoh, we met Baz to find out how she would spend her Sunday ideal in Los An Bub and grandmother And buy fresh fish on a Japanese market in San Gabriel for homemade sushi.
8:30 am: Boting in bed
In my ideal world, my baby and I sleep until 8:30 am, which sleeps for us. The baby and I will make calves and I will treat him in bed. Then I ask my husband to go to the kitchen and make my first coffee – a pistachio milk cappuccino – which he would bring me to bed. We were hanging out in bed with the baby and the dog Wiener, the tuna, for 45 minutes at an hour before going out and facing the rest of the world.
9:30 am: neighborhood or hiking
I don't really have breakfast, so the next thing we would have is to walk in the neighborhood. There are a lot of hikes to what we sometimes do, but we always try to do morning walks on weekends and sometimes during weekdays to sunbathe in our eyes. I am going to Eaton Canyon a lot. COBB Estate is also very nice. We will make one of those hikes if we feel really ambitious.
10:45 am: breakfast time
I would probably be hungry now, so we would go to Bub and grandmotherThis is where I had my launch party a few weeks ago. I am a monster for sandwiches and they only sell sandwiches. In addition, I love the great vibrations of comfortable stand. I love to hang out in a stand and sit in a restaurant for a long time. You generally find stands in night restaurants like HoustonWho is another place where I spend a large part of my life, but Bub has a morning stand option, so I really like that.
We would order sandwiches at breakfast. They have scrambled eggs, onions and really delicious cheese on a homemade brioche bun called breakfast at the onion. It's like a really too simple breakfast sandwich, but it's so good. The bread is so soft and the eggs are so flexible.
1 p.m.: Caffeine pick-up
After our long moment of Bub Linger-Y, we would head towards KumquatWho is my favorite coffee and he's near Bub. I would get my second coffee of the day, which would be the cloudy with a chance to drink peanuts. He has this delicious salty peanut milk and it is a drink that is both warm and cold. It's like cold milk with a hot stroke of espresso fell there, while you drink it, you are supposed to experience hot and cold at the same time. It's very crazy and delicious.
2 p.m.: Play cribbage at the park or go to Huntington Gardens
The next thing I would do is go to Lace park To play Cribbage, which is a card game with an ankle painting that my husband and some of my friends play. We were sitting in the park and Jouisis à cribbage for a few hours or made crosswords. It's another hobby that I like. Or we would go to Huntington gardens. I went there the day after the elections where I felt suffocated by politics, the news, the scrolling of misfortune, social media and everything. I left my phone in the car and I felt like I was breathing different air there than at home or elsewhere. There are so many plants in Huntington Gardens that the air feels different. He feels fresh and alive. It is a really incredible place to simply reset your balance.
4 p.m.: Pick up fresh fish for sushi
As a rule, we try not to go out to dinner on Sunday, so what I would do from there is a place called Yama Sushi in San Gabriel. It is a small market with Japanese fish and they have Japanese grocery stores and a fish counter with truly quality sushi transported by Tokyo. They will prepare the fish as you wish, then you can bring it home to make sushi. So, my absolute ideal dinner on Sunday evening would be the sushi evening at home with homemade sushi. We normally obtain their salmon and we keep the skin of the salmon so that I can crush it for the rollers of the hand of the salmon skin, which are so good.
4:45 p.m.: Take a nap before dinner
We came home with our sushi and then take a nap for about an hour. The naps are an integral part of Sunday. We are great tablecloths. Then we would start to make sushi and we were sitting in the living room on the ground. We eat most of our meals on the ground. I just like to be low on the ground and comfortable on our coffee table. We like to play music and light candles while we eat. We could have a glass of wine. Just very comfortable and soft with us who chat. I have the impression that dinner hours are really important moments for connectivity with me and my husband because we run the work all day during the week, so dinner time is a bit sacred.
7 p.m.: Relax with an ice cream sandwich and a TV
Then we gave a bath to the baby and put it in bed around 7:30 p.m., my husband and I eat an Oreo ice cream sandwich and watch something on TV before bed. For the moment, we are looking at “Bad sisters”. And then the lights, for me, at 9:15 p.m., would be ideal for me to get 10 hours before the next day.
