Paris Recap: The Highlights
I’ve already shared about our apartment and the food, but couldn’t resist just sharing some of my other favorite pictures from the trip. These are going to be the pictures I’ll look at whenever I get stabby and need to think about some happy memories. This trip, y’all. It was good. Really, really good. And now I promise I’ll shut up about it.

Paris Recap: The Food

Top Restaurant Review: ABC Kitchen
Last week, to cross another one off the Top 100 list, we tried ABC Kitchen. Here’s the rundown:
An ABC Manhattan at the bar. A little too cherry-ish for me, and 17 DOLLARS. I know I should be used to prices like this at a nice restaurant, but it still gets me- especially when it’s not made perfectly. When we went to our table, our waitress jiggled the table and knocked some out. She...
