After Pink Martini

Ivy and I just got back from Pink Martini concert at Wolf Trap. It was totally a blast. We have been drinking and dancing to the music. I am still overwhelm with the fact that I was watching them live; 10 years after I first listen to their first album, Sympathique. This is probably the most enjoyable concert in this year so far. Seriously, if you haven't heard of Pink Martini, you are missing something in your life. Yes, it is that serious.

Good food good life

Ivy and I were too lazy to cook anything this morning. So, we went to German Gourmet Store, located a few miles away from home, to buy some hams and brats for lunch. They sell variety of meats, cheeses, and beers/wines. Some very traditional German food and glassware can be found here. We were both very excited about this store. We have been searching for a store like this and finally we found time to pay its a visit. We bought black forest ham, procuitto di parma, bread and a hot brats platter served with a roll, mustard, Sauerkraut, red cabbage and German potato salad. It was probably the best brats I had in a long time. After we finished the lunch, we both can't help but to exhale our satisfactions ; those damn German brats are awesome!


On a side note, we went to Vintage Virginia Wine Festival on last Saturday, after a night of partying at Whitlow's On Willows. Also, in case you curios, Damien Rice concert was a blast. Damn, summer life is good!
