Weekend Snapshots

This weekend I...

1. Kicked off the weekend with homemade huevos rancheros for brunch along with some mimosas. Who doesn't love a little bubbly for lunch?;) I used two recipes and made it into one and will share with you soon. Good stuff.

2. Finally got a much needed haircut. The last time I got a haircut was nearly a year ago so you can imagine how unhealthy my ends were. The lady who usually cuts my hair trimmed my bangs too short so that pretty much ruined my afternoon. Maybe I'm being melodramatic but I'm so particular when it comes to my bangs. Ugh.

3. Dined at Washington D.C.'s latest ramen place, Daikaya. I ordered the Shio ramen (with extra pork belly, naturally) which had the most perfect broth. The only negative thing I could say about the ramen bowl was that the noodles were a bit too chewy for me. The perfect bowl of ramen would be the noodles from Sakuramen (also located in DC) and the broth from Daikaya. Oh my gosh, if only.

4. Watched Shear Madness at the Kennedy Center. With out giving too much away, it's basically an interactive whodunit play that allows the audience figure out the murder mystery. It was entertaining to watch but it probably could've been 30 min shorter.

5. Was around Logan Circle since I had an appointment in the area and noticed a sign outside a small wine shop that said free wine tasting. Needless to say, two bottles were picked up.

How was your weekend?

Weekend Snapshots

This weekend I...

1. Dined at District Kitchen for the first time with several of my friends. It was our first time trying out this restaurant and all 14 of us enjoyed it. The interior has exposed bricks all throughout the restaurant which gives an industrial look to it, which I love.

2. Bought an orchid thing-a-ma-jig from T.J. Maxx. for my bathroom. Ideally I want my bathroom to have a spa like feel to it and thought this orchid would give a sense of serenity. I love finding random home stuff at that store because it can be a treasure hunt with a very affordable price tag.

3. The boy took me to see La Cage Aux Folles at the Kennedy Center. Unlike me, he's not really into musicals but he said he liked this one haha. It's the story of a gay couple who have a son that wants to bring his fiancee and her ultra conservative parents home to meet them. Along the way there are entertaining and funny adventures the couple has to encounter.

4. Finally had the chance to finally wear this necklace I bought from Neiman Marcus a couple months ago out to dinner. The iPhone picture does it no justice on how it looks in real life. It really is such a gorgeous piece.

5. Overdosed on sushi with the family. Enough said.

6. Dined at BLT Steakhouse with the boy. They gave complimentary popovers and chicken liver pate to start with and both were delicious. I ordered the filet (which was cooked to perfection) and the truffle mash and well, let's just say I was savoring each bite of the mash. I mean, it's truffle--how can anything taste bad when adding truffle?

7. Received home made gummies from a good friend. How amazing is that?
