Hi Bloggies! Gotta make this one short and sweet.

First things first - Happy official one year in DC to me!! - I’ve already celebrated the occasion and I already wrote my cheesy post here - so that’s all the mention I’ll give it today. But trust that I feel like the happiest, luckiest girl in the world right now.  Life is wonderful .

It’s been a beautiful Saturday so far. DC woke up to quite a blanket of snow(!) and it just keeps coming.

This morning my roommate Allison and I walked over to Le Pain Quoitidien for a delicious breakfast. I had the Ricotta Tartine which is topped with mission figs, tomato, cracked pepper and honey. It is just dreamy. Sweet but only very subtly so and just the perfect size. Plus, look at that for a presentation! Lovely.

And because there’s no such thing as a good breakfast without a little chocolate, a Belgian Hot Cocoa to drink. They steam the milk and then bring you a little jug of chocolate to stir in. Adorable.  The chocolate was rich and bittersweet – perfect beverage to sip while watching the snow fall outside .

Then we did a bit of shopping - Dean and Deluca and  Anthroplogie – where I got my very own bottle of truffle oil so I can recreate the mushroom soup from yesterday’s post at home. Exciting!

So nowww I need to quickly jump through the shower and pack my bags. This afternoon I’m headed out to Frederick MD for a gorgeous dinner and Anna’s birthday celebration. We got a hotel room, so trust there will be some trouble this evening .

See you in the AM!
