DC Part II

And then, there was CENTRAL By Michel Richards

I was not a friend on Foie Gras, until I went to ANIMAL in LA...So I was immediately drawn to this exquisite appetizer when I saw it (oh and I got my husband into foie gras too) It was a Tartine of Duck Prosciutto with foie gras and truffle. The minute it came to the table I knew it was just going to melt in my mouth. And that avocado was just the perfect touch! So fresh...and just the right amount

I ordered a pre fixed menu (for $35 wow)

My 1st plate was a french Onion Soup...It looked better when they brought it for me but I took the picture late. 

Then there was this Pecan Crusted Salmon with Butternut squash sauce – wow!

And also Dessert! This was THE BEST CREME BRULE! ever...ever! So soft, not to sweet, The caramel on top was perfect! The raspberries and blueberries on top, was just the missing touch on all the others ones I've ever had.   

My husband had the Loup de Mer (Sea Bass) I had a bite of this (that's all he let me had hahahaha)

It was cooked and seasoned to perfection! I know I'm using the word "perfect" a lot but it's the truth.

This restaurant is famous for their Fried Chicken...the reason why we didn't order it is that neither of us care for fried chicken. Maybe next time I will try it.

DC! (My Very First Time)

It was our 3 year anniversary trip! And he planned to go to DC. We had an amazing time! I got tickets to go to the White House and the Capitol...we went to the Washington and Lincoln Memorial....A whole bunch of the Smithsonian's and a few amazing (and not) restaurants that I want to talk about:
We stayed at L'Enfant Plaza Hotel; It was nice, not super fancy but not cheap, it has an old style to it. We had a great view and it was nice and cold. There they had an Irish pub, The Foggy  (jack pot! my hubby is Irish) we went in for a late snack and a Guinness. This place has to be the worst bar I have ever been in my life! Hated it (And so did my husband) I didn't take any pictures, but the food was cold, probably grilled the previous week, It was just nasty!

Then there was Le Pain Quotidien The most amazing French Bakery I have ever been to.

The Yummy Menu and the Seasonal Menu

There was a long wooden table, that everyone can share

Apricot Jelly and Chocolate spread - It's on every table

I Ordered a very Hot Belgium Chocolate! It was so cute the way that they serve it. They bring you the milk and then the Belgium Chocolate on the side, you make it yourself. It was so different ( It's not a big thing I know)

To eat we got Tartines (which are slices of bread topped with different things, like ham, cheese, etc)

And we ended with a Chocolate Croisant and a Pistachio tart! (yes dessert for breakfast, why not?) Yuuuummyyyy.

Everything was so fresh and delicious! On a not so good note, it was a bit expensive for my taste (For breakfast that is) The bill was like $50 plus tip (it's ok, we are on vacation)

We didn't eat everything, it was a bit much, but we took it to go and ate it before our dinner.

Me Mixing it ;)

All Ready - I like it strong!

My first DIY

So I always see all of these DIY online; and I've always wanted to do one, I tried to do one, and my husband ended up doing it all =(. Not intentionally it just happened that way.
Moving on...Every girl that has makeup knows that if you don't see it, you are not going to use it!  then it's going to go bad, and you will debate for another 3-6 months whether you should toss it or save it for that next party coming up.
You will need

Steel Sheets- I got 12x12 (3, but only used 2)

Pic out 100% cotton - Joanne's Fabric $1.99 on sale 

Magnets - Homedepot $2.49 - make sure you get the thick ones

Plug in your glue gun; so that it can heat up while you prep

I have a Little Steamer (Love it!-Must have) Steam off the crest of the fabric 

 

Make sure your glue gun is hot and start gluing, start gluing the corners of the fabric to the metal sheet.

 

Now Take Double sided tape (the Heavy duty one) and cut strips, glue them to the end of the already wrapped with fabric metal sheets. I only did 2 strips, I thought it was enough. 

Find a spot and glue them (or it, if you only want to do one) to the wall, press it and make sure it it set.

 

 The next step is to grab all your make up, glue the magnet (you can use 2 for the heavier ones) to the back of the makeup (eye shadow, foundation, etc). Make sure all the labels are peeled off. so that the magnet won't fall.

 As you glue the magnets to the makeup, place them on the sheet and done!
