This is how I spent my Saturday night. #lovemyclients
Feast your eyes my friends. Awaiting your arrival. We’d tell you what was in these mouth-watering dishes…but then we’d have to kill you. E E E. AH AH AAAAHHHH.
Not quite the latte of @catalinacoffee or @cafeluzhouston but Double Trouble is a legit new bar for #Houston (Taken with Instagram at Double Trouble)

I’ll be shackin’ up at The Hotel Derek to ring in the new year!
Friends are coming in from LA, and since one of them is highly allergic to cats, we are forced to stay in a luxury, trendy, fun, someone-will-make-your-bed-everyday hotel (darn it!). Of course I would love to curl up at the Zaza, but I figured since the Derek has just renovated the rooms and the restaurant, I would give it a shot.
(Full disclosure: Derek extended a discounted media rate for the rooms only.)
This morning’s breakfast at La Madeleine was a complete disappointment. If you recall a couple of weeks ago, Mom and I sought out the reliable French fare after the let-down at Lola’s. On that visit, La Mad delivered a decent meal.
Today was another story. Look at that! Do those over-cooked eggs loaded with onions look appetizing to you? I’ll answer on your behalf, “oh hell no.”
So, I’m asking for your help. We know where the best brunch spots are in town, but mom and I are looking for a low-key and casual spot (that isn’t a greasy spoon) in the Heights or River Oaks area.
Any suggestions?
Reeling in the best bass
I’m going on a mission to find the best sea bass skewers. They’re delicious and cheap and should be on every decent menu. Period.
Bond Street Sushi in NYC is by far my favorite, but I haven’t tried enough to crown them king just yet.
Unfortunately I’ll only be able to consider restaurants in NYC, CA, and TX with my own lips, so please fill me in on what I’m missing or where I need to go.
TELL US - Where is your favorite sea bass skewer? Or maybe YOU make the best! Do you have a good recipe?
SUMMER SUNDAY DIY
My mom used to make us wash the car when I was I little, so I never really considered it a “fun” thing to do. Until the other day…
I wanted to be outside doing something (anything but sitting still in the heat) so I decided, “hey, I’ll wash the car.” I turned up some tunes, soaked down a sponge and got to work. Thirty minutes later, the car was looking spiffy, I was pretty sweaty, and my urge to enjoy the beautiful day was satisfied.
Look what happened to my poor suede bag on the flight from NYC to Dallas. Water plus dirty plane carpet equals this mess. Everyone says Deno’s (in Highland Park Village) can fix it. They’re going to try their best, and that’s going to take 2 weeks. Fingers crossed.
BIG SALE AT MUSE BOUTIQUE (Houston)
“It’s that time of year for the annual Back Room Sale at the Upper Kirby boutique Muse. Designer duds are up to 90% off!
Think Calypso and Nanette Lepore. Sip wine while digging through the fantastic sale racks Thursday, July 9th – Saturday, July 11th, and thank us later.”

King Bucks rockin’ out at The Meridian Room.
Welcome to The Meridan Room, “on the edge of the hood” in Fairpark in Dallas. I’m tatt-less, but who the F cares?
They dared me to post this pic. My pastel prep look doesn’t hinder my ability to drink beer. (Came from the Zaza pool. Admittedly it took me a minute to warm up.)
