Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.

Pappe

Last night Tammy and I went to Pappe for the first time on 14th Street for our monthly dinner. (Christina was sick – we missed you!) Pappe opened last summer in Logan Circle and we all had been eager to try this Indian food spot for awhile.

Since the weather was gorgeous yesterday, we enjoyed sitting right by the open front window where we could enjoy the breeze and watch people walking by.

Immediately upon sitting down, I settled on a delicious cocktail while Tammy and I caught up and perused the menu.

The Chilini. Definitely had a kick to it!

We settled on Vegetable Samosas for our appetizer.

So yummy.

And while Pappe isn’t a tapas restaurant at all – one can easily order their own entree, Tammy and I decided to order several dishes to try and share.

We ordered the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the Punjabi Aloo Gobi (potatoes, cauliflower, and onions with spices).

Overall the food was pretty good. We loved the samosas and Chicken Tikka Masala. Tammy did think she had better Butter Chicken at other Indian restaurants, but it was still good.

I really liked the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. Despite it being in a small space, it felt airy and I loved the vibrant colors in the restaurant.

I would definitely come back here whenever I was in the mood for Indian!

Galentine’s Cake & Champagne

Happy Friday ya’ll!

Last Saturday I hosted a fun Galentine’s gathering at my house. While I am so blessed and fortunate to have my main Valentine (Tommy) and my mini Valentines (Ava and Luke), I always loved seeing all the TLC girlfriends were giving and showing each other in various ways on Valentine’s Day every year. As someone who also deeply cherishes her female friendships, I felt like this “holiday” was meant for me and I’ve been wanting to throw a Galentine’s Day something for awhile now. Well, I finally did it this year!

Tuesday Tidbits – 273

  1. As this post goes “live”, I am in the air on my way to Arizona for a work trip. It is my first time away from Luke and the first time Tommy will be on his “own” with the kiddos for longer than a day. Wish us ALL luck please! 🙂
  2. I have always thought these nursing rooms at airports were amazing, but especially now as a traveling-breastfeeding mom. Both airports that I will be going to on this trip heading to Tucson have these rooms (Dallas Fortworth and Tucson). YES!
  3. Bought these knives for Ava to help cook with Tommy and/or me in the kitchen.
  4. Excited to be heading to Nashville for a gals trip in April!
  5. We loved having Aunt Christy come visit us this weekend!

Off to the Mountains We Went – MLK Weekend Recap

Hi friends!

Hope your short work week is going well. What did you all do for MLK weekend? My little family and I rented a cabin in the Shenandoah Valley and it was the perfect little weekend getaway. You may remember we did this in 2017 over the same weekend, and I told Tommy I wouldn’t be opposed to making renting a cabin somewhere local an annual MLK weekend tradition. 🙂
