starting with an impromptu thursday date night at mike isabella's newest dc restaurant: bandolero.
where mike himself just so happened to be hanging out.
delicious mexican-inspired tapas abound.
like this ingenious take on queso fundido:
like this ingenious take on queso fundido:
melted manchego with duck confit, mushrooms, and, yes, a fried egg.
it gets wrapped in a tortilla, and tastes a bit like heaven.
friday night we found ourselves having drinks next door to a super important bucket list item: "taste dc's best grilled cheese at stoney's."
so we went next door. we tasted. we conquered. we confirmed. it is definitely dc's best grilled cheese.
if you know us at all, then you know that there isn't much spontaneous about me or ww. we are compulsive planners. but these types of weekends always remind me how much fun we have when we make no plans, and just enjoy what dc has to offer.
saturday morning we drove out to the 'burbs, aka arlington, va, for a visit to the flea market and breakfast at bayou bakery.
we ended the morning at the arlington flea market, where we purchased our very first piece of art together. she is a woman with a sunflower head, and i absolutely love her. can't wait for her to move to houston with us!
