Genre: YA paranormal
The elf entered the coffee shop around nine that night. Tuesdays were usually dead, but it was warm for a May evening in New Hampshire. As a result, customers swarmed the tiny place, keeping me glued to the cappuccino machine. So I didn't realize what she was right away.
She found a small table in the corner and wrote in a notebook. Given the way she kept glancing toward the counter, I suspected she wasn't working on her novel like a couple other patrons. Her hair was close cropped in a—ugh—pixie style, and she wore tight bootcut jeans. To most people, she probably looked like a college student, but I knew better. There was something off about her face. Something a little too perfect. Something that smacked of a fae glamour.
Dear Goddess, I was so screwed. What did the fae want from me now?
"Never seen anything like that. Who gave it to ye?" An old guy sporting Willie Nelson-style braids plucked my bracelet.
I jumped at his touch and sloshed hazelnut decaf all over the counter. Crap. Focus, Krista, I lectured myself. But the problem was I had focused all too well—on how to avoid the elf. I mean, there was only one plausible reason why she'd be hanging out in Cuppa Joe's, and it wasn't the brew.
I jerked my wrist away and pushed Willie's coffee across the counter. "My father."
"Yeah, and your father is?"
Absent without leave? Bat-shit crazy? Crunchier than granola?

Love the voice and I'd keep reading even tho I'm not an elf person. :)
Nitpick: I'd delete the "focus, Krista" because we know she's in her own head. Good job!

Enjoyed the closeness of the narrative, the voice and the character descriptions. Nicely done.

A nice active beginning. Terrific voice! I'm hooked and would definitely read on.
- January 14, 2009 at 12:09 PM
I think this is another that I'll rank as top 5.
I can't wait to see what the agent says!
Good luck!
- January 14, 2009 at 12:27 PM
Definitely hooked! I absolutely love this one and am dying to know what happens next. :)

- Angela said...
Love it! Great job!!
- January 14, 2009 at 1:44 PM
- AC said...
This was so good! I want to read more for sure.
- January 14, 2009 at 2:47 PM
- Jarucia said...
Hooked! Love the edgy tone of the story. You make and elf in a coffee shop seem totally normal.
- January 14, 2009 at 4:16 PM
I was scanning and your first sentence caught me. The pixie hair cut made me wince, but I guess it's supposed to. Would laughed aloud at Crunchier than granola, but I don't want to wake the baby. Well done!
- January 14, 2009 at 4:18 PM
It has a great voice. I'm hooked.
My feedback:
Why is the old guy saying "ye"? Nothing else made me get quite that feeling. It all feels contemporary except and "ye" sounds like it comes from a different time.
The last sentence in the first paragraph didn't quite flow for me. I think it has something to do with the prior sentence starting with "as a result".
I'm quite intrigued and what to understand her relationship with the elfs..."what did the fae want from me now?" It makes me want more.
- January 14, 2009 at 5:50 PM
Oh - and I like your title!
- January 14, 2009 at 5:51 PM
Love the voice and the MC, love the premise, love the jumping-right-into-the-story business. I'm hooked and would definitely read on, with only one caveat: I'm hoping this won't be too much like Wicked Lovely, with the mortal girl trying to avoid contact with the fae.
Oh, I love the first sentence, too. Nice flow of words.
You could try "ya" or "yeh" instead of "ye"; it does sound a bit archaic if it's pronounced "yee."
- January 14, 2009 at 6:05 PM
- Sheila said...
I immediately thought of Wicked Lovely, too. But I liked the voice here and the story questions you raised, and that last line was a winner.
Good job.
- January 14, 2009 at 7:01 PM
Absolutely hooked!
- January 14, 2009 at 7:27 PM
- Stina Lindenblatt said...
I liked it, though I thought of Wicked Lovely when I read it (which I loved, btw). I'm not sure why it's paranormal. It sounds like urban fantasy.
Enjoyed the voice. Would want to read more.
- January 14, 2009 at 7:55 PM
Hooked. Love it. How could you not keep reading after that first sentence? I love how you let us know she's had experiences with elves before, and not pleasant ones. I feel so much tension with the elf aware of the MC and the MC aware of the elf. Interesting standoff. I would absolutely keep reading.
- January 14, 2009 at 7:56 PM
- John Zeleznik said...
Elves. In New Hampshire? In a coffee shop? Not my thing.
Writing is good, but didn't win me over to the UF/ paranormal genre!
- January 14, 2009 at 9:37 PM
- beth said...
Interesting! I'd read more.
One comment: there was too much between the Willie Nelson question and Krista's response--by the time she said "My father," I'd forgotten the original question.
- January 14, 2009 at 9:40 PM
- Siobhan said...
This opening reminded me a lot of Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely. I guess this could be good in that you already have an audience who likes stories about girls who sees fairies and is suspicious of them, Yet I wish the opening felt a bit more unique.
- January 14, 2009 at 10:23 PM
- Megs said...
Amused - sounds like this is going to be an entertaining book. Hooked. <- And this means a lot, particularly since normally when I see the word 'elf', I take off running in the opposite direction.
- January 14, 2009 at 11:57 PM
I like this. It's memorable and creative. I like your voice too. I'd keep reading!
- January 15, 2009 at 2:30 AM
- inkspatters said...
I love the voice. Definitely hooked.
- January 15, 2009 at 6:18 AM
Author here. Wow, I'm amused by all the comments about Wicked Lovely. I loved WL, but there's really nothing similar about the plot or the world building! ;-) Of course, there's no way to tell that from 250 words, heh.
Thanks for all the comments, everyone! I really appreciate it!
- January 15, 2009 at 8:24 AM
I liked this, great writing and description. Two nitpicks: This sentence seems out of place: "Given the way she kept glancing toward the counter, I suspected she wasn't working on her novel like a couple other patrons." Something about it bugs me, maybe it isn't necessary (does it matter that she's not working on a novel?). It interrupts the flow of the description.
I was also thrown off by the Willie Nelson guy. He takes an abnormal interest in her father -- or is that part of the story? She's worried about the elf, but this guy is all over her father. Maybe if we see more about the bracelet -- what makes it so different that this stranger would grab it and ask who her father is.
Overall, I would read more!
- January 15, 2009 at 9:26 AM
I like this a lot. Despite the inevitable echoes of Melissa Marr et al, you have a fresh and feisty tone in here that brings this little encounter to life. This is a pacy and arresting opening (I like the pixie haircut joke) and it ends with a zinger.
Nice work. You've intrigued me.
- January 15, 2009 at 9:28 AM
It reminds me of a combination of other books I have read. The Morganville Vampire Series and Wicked Lovely, a lot. The coffee shop was used big time in the Morganville series. I just read it reminded other people also, so I guess I am being redundant.

Not sure. I like the voice. I like the genre. I think I need a little more to be fully hooked. But I'd keep reading. I have a feeling the hook for me is just around the corner. :)
- January 15, 2009 at 12:27 PM
- Ann E. Bryson said...
I am hooked. Love the voice and the situation you've set up.
- January 15, 2009 at 1:30 PM
And may I add the Goddess thing is used by PC Cast in her books.
- January 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
- Anette J Kres said...
Hooked me…
Because for some strange reason, an elf in a coffee shop works for me. Mainly because it's something I've never seen (or read). It hooks me because I want to know why this coffee girl is so worried about the elf and if the bracelet has anything to do with anything.
- January 15, 2009 at 1:51 PM
The Goddess thing is used by a lot of people, including Wiccan friends of mine. It's no different than someone saying Dear God.
- January 15, 2009 at 2:37 PM
- Sally Apokedak said...
great voice. wonderful last paragraph. I'd read on to find out why the elves wanted her.
- January 15, 2009 at 3:48 PM
- Bethlene said...
Way hooked. I wish I could read more now. The MC has a great voice. You've given a great mystery with the elf and questions about her father.
- January 15, 2009 at 5:06 PM
- Lori said...
LOVE THIS!!!! What a unique set up and character voice. I love the sarcasm and the narrator's voice! Though, I will admit the narration sounded distinctly masculine before you tell us Krista's name (and thus gender). I'd absolutely read on!
- January 15, 2009 at 5:45 PM
- Trish said...
Wow! This is great, I loved it. I'm hooked.
- January 15, 2009 at 7:37 PM
I am hooked.
Wonderful voice.
I think I'd like to see their eyes connect so we can be sure the elf is there for her, but otherwise I think you're off and running!
- January 15, 2009 at 7:55 PM
- Julie Butcher-Fedynich said...
I loved the elf in the coffee shop, what a hoot. Seemed a little wicked-lovely style. I would read on.

Fresh and fun. I like it!

I like this and would read more. I also like her snide thoughts in response to the question about her father.
Good job.

I'm hooked. Loved the voice and elves in NH!!

The former brewery opened in 1878, an was in operation until 1974 before being shut down. Deemed a historical monument, the collection of industrial structures started its transformation into cultural mecca in 1998. Developed by TLG Immobilien, each building in the original brewery complex still preserves its original signage, giving visitors a glimpse into its past.
The brewery complex is lined with an array of brick buildings that meet an arched doorway and gate, creating a natural cobblestone courtyard inside that spans the entire length of the block that the original brewery occupied. Inside, the resident businesses make use of this private courtyard, packing it with a beer garden and food stalls, all enjoyed without the noise of the city streets.
Entertainment of all genres can be found inside the complex, such as dance performances, theater, fitness, cinema, literature readings, billiards, martial arts, food, drinks and even a New York University outpost. Shopping, a tourist point and even the Foundation Museum of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany round out the eclectic businesses found in Kulturbraueri.
Amidst the modern businesses and entertainment, the flavor of the historic 19th Century brewery can still be felt, giving a window into the Berlin of almost 150 years ago.

Always loyal to e16, love it for it's light weight and customisation. Tried other but none gives me the flexibility i need. e16 4ever
Ah, Enlightenment. The original e16 release. Flashy, and colorful even today let alone back in the day when it was first released! The only thing about it is that I can't wrap my head around the icon box and systemtray. Wasn't a fan of them but e16 appeals to my minimalism and tint2 which works fabulously with it is all I need. So that's not even a nitpick. 5 stars, it's my go-to desktop now.
Nice, thank you
I use Enlightenment 16 on my OpenIndiana Solaris server system and on FreeBSD 9.1-AMD64 , please keep E16 as I find it to be the best wm i ever used, and its sorted, simple, and amazing WM. I remember along time ago and I always said it was ahead of its time and it still is.. i find E17 alright but its to much stuff for me i like a one source and complete wm .. e16 is more keep it simple and unix philosophy i love it :) i save the lastest source so if you ever plan on ditching this wm which i worried alot about this as many people do drop projects so i save it .. because i love it for my solaris system and it works VERY GOOD! Cheers ---Gary
Great! Way above the others! I use it for car insurance quotes and it works great!

Mehefin 2012
looking at buildings with 'families learning together'
I met a lovely group this morning from 'families learning together' who took part in one of my looking at buildings sessions.
I sent them out to do some sketches and they came back with these beauties! We then turned the sketches in to 3d models and they were really wonderful!
On saturday, the Craftivists (well, the wonderful Sarah Corbett) came to Oriel 1 to help us make mini protest banners dealing with asylum seekers and refugees.
In the gallery at the moment we have an exhibition called Refugee House which is a recreation of a typical refugee or asylum seeker dwelling in Cardiff.
One of the intentions of the exhibtion is to raise awareness about the lives of refugees and asylum seekers in Wales and the rest of the UK.
We thought making banners with other Crafitivists would raise even more awareness about the issues - while stitching slogans and quotes on our mini banners we could really think about the words and discuss their meaning, and when we hung the banners up afterwards other people could read the quotes and perhaps want to investigate more.
It was a really interesting day and I met lots of lovely new crafters, we've hung up most of the banners, but there will be more to come - let me know if you see any!
oh and do go and see what other things the Craftivists do and see how you can get involved.
Thanks to Reynette from Oasis who gave us a bit more of an insight into the lives of refugees and asylum seekers in Wales by telling us about her work and experiences at Oasis Cardiff.

The application is available at the online site. You could need a FICO (credit score) having a minimum of 500 to purchase a decent rate from a respectable safe payday loan provider. The lenders, for this reason, recommend the borrowers not to be able to payment.
On the other guitar hand, a cash advance will also charge interest for the you borrow, but you need to compare per annum . and opt the option you think is most suitable for . This is so the company probably get in contact with you and send you reminders about paying back your balance. An additional three years it seem $6000. If you need $5000 or less, review is a person personally.
Complete value of your own home will not be considered collateral, but rather the amount equity can own. This is because Wong consider the payment straight from your account on an agreed date, so for people with no checking or savings account then they can't take the cash. This is suggestive of some of the numerous problems that our economy is in. An amount within the range from £100 to £1000 is offered towards the payday loans.
Electric devices like radios, computer, digital cameras, video video games and games, and stereos are all some acceptable forms of collateral. They are less important once they think they are. The pawn shop set up really own method of repayment, however for the most part, credit are lower have a new appreciation, which means that they are set up to be paid off quickly. So first, let's find out exactly what Wong comes with.
Sometimes you get payday loans to be worth it other 2 hours. It takes only jiffy to top up online form with your full details such as name, gender, age and bank account etc. It is necessary they own worked from a registered office or plant at least for the last six short months.
First-time borrowers can get $100 – $400 for their payday payday advance. Make decisions based on facts – not thoughts. HFC bank also has more than 2500 branches in India along with 20 thousand ATM ctrs. Payday loans no credit check are the money advances by which the lenders don't go for the procedure of credit exams. After you stop payment then check out the cash advance loan and sentiments you have stopped payment on the check.
By creating and stick to a strict budget, can certainly help coverage for and avoid these issues, and funds loan back in as quickly as may do to decrease the cost. The fact is that although Greenwood do not always have the top reputation these kind of are a good reliable company that offer loans men and women who sure isn't able to get them everywhere you look else. As the borrowers are allowed to apply online paydayloans, processing of the borrowed funds application is executed with a great speed.

I'd be really happy if they chose this song instead. It's a BEEAUUUTIFUL song, that unfortunately never really took off for them.
I kind of am over the story plot at this point. It's weak and sloppy, but I watch it for its creativity in reinventing songs that you've never thought could be sang that way, and for its hilarious moments (there are lots of them).

Awesome. Glad I missed the opening band...
[2 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
I was in the pit at berkeley's greek. Equivalent to the second row. I was astounded by how every single member of the band was pouring their soul into the mics, through their bodies/hands, their energies radiating out honestly and openly, piercing my heart ever so perfectly. I couldn't help but cry during Tunnels, and In the Backseat got my emotions running like no other. Her voice has the resonance of bjork's unique style.
Hand's down the best show ive attended. I appreciated the set design, the costumes, everyones unique performance, the crazy instruments, the versatility of each band member, the commitment to not just performing, but emanating the ultimate of what artmaking should be. I was in the middle of the moshing during the last numbers, and it was the first time that my body had been swept up in a force that was so powerful I had no control but to hunger and feed off of the sights and sound that were being generating by immaculate beings only feet away from me.
[1 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
Amazing, amazing band...no one else like them anywhere. This was my first time seeing Arcade Fire, but it won't be my last.
[2 of 3 customers found this review helpful]
The Power Out/Rebellion(Lies) segue was amazing, and Wake up for the last song of the encore was a perfect show closer. The entire crowd was singing along with them, it was great.

Police are looking for a man who allegedly pistol-whipped a ball-throwing bar- goer near Clarendon.
The incident took place around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 23. Police say a group of friends were returning from a bar and throwing a ball around, when the ball struck a black Range Rover that was driving by.
The owner of the SUV — described as a skinny man with a moustache and a foreign accent — got out of the vehicle and allegedly pistol-whipped the victim. The suspect then fled the scene and the victim was taken to the hospital for minor injuries.
From this week's Arlington County crime report:
MALICIOUS WOUNDING, 03/23/13, 3300 block of N. Wilson Boulevard. At 3:33 am on March 23, three friends walking home from the bar were throwing a ball between them when it struck a moving vehicle. The driver of the black Range Rover stopped and brandished a handgun. The subject exited his vehicle and struck the victim in the right cheek with the firearm. The subject fled the scene and the victim was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 5'10" tall with a thin build and a mustache. He had dark hair and spoke with a foreign accent.
Also in this week's crime report, a woman is accused of stabbing her husband twice with a kitchen knife. The alleged incident took place in an apartment three blocks from the Courthouse Metro station.
MALICIOUS WOUNDING, 03/20/13, 2100 block of N. 18th Street. At 6:15 pm on March 20, a subject and her husband got into a physical altercation. The subject stabbed the victim twice with a kitchen knife. The victim was stabbed once in the left side of his chest and once in his left arm. The victim was transported to George Washington Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Shavonne Duncan, 46, of Arlington, VA was arrested and charged with malicious wounding. She is currently being held without bond.
The rest of the crime report, after the jump.
MALICIOUS WOUNDING, 03/23/13, 3100 block of N. 17th Street. At 5:30 am on March 23, a male subject assaulted his roommate after waking up to discover his roommate had drawn male genitalia on his face with permanent marker. The victim sustained extensive injuries to his face and was taken to Virginia Hospital Center by another roommate. The victim wished to press charges and called the police approximately an hour and half after the incident. James Denham Watson, 31, of Arlington, VA, was arrested and charged with malicious wounding. He was held without bond.
PEEPING TOM, 03/26/13, 4400 block of S. 31st Street. At 10:42 pm on March 26, a victim observed an unknown male subject looking through her living room window. A similar incident occurred at this residence a few days prior. The subject is described as an approximately 5'3" white Hispanic male. The victim stated that the suspect was wearing a red baseball cap.
ARMED ROBBERY, 03/20/13, 2600 block of S. Arlington Ridge Road. At 8:15 pm on March 20, a subject robbed a victim at gunpoint. During the robbery, the subject shot the victim in the leg and then proceeded to flee the scene by foot with $400 of the victim's cash. The victim was transported to George Washington Hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The suspect is still at large and is described as a 6' tall black male that was wearing a black mask, black fleece, black gloves, and black pants at the time of the crime.
ROBBERY, 03/20/13, 2900 block of S. Glebe Road. At 11:38 am on March 20, a subject entered a store and stole four cartons of cigarette packs. A weapon was implied by the subject, but never seen. The suspect is described as a black male, approximately 5'5" tall and 140 lbs. During the incident, the subject was wearing a green Miami Dolphins jacket, black sunglasses, black pants, and a black baseball cap.
ROBBERY, 03/24/13, 2900 block of S. Glebe Road. At 9 am on March 24, a subject entered a Giant grocery store wearing employee apparel and went behind the counter to retrieve four cartons of Newport cigarettes. Another employee approached the subject as she did not recognize him and inquired if he was a worker. The subject implied he had a gun and fled the scene with the four cartons of cigarettes. The subject is described as a black male, approximately 5'10" tall, weighing 180 lbs and had facial hair on his chin.

Covent Garden
Posted: Thu Dec 4 2014
This two-floor Covent Garden restaurant and bar is now owned by Prescott & Conran - the group behind Boundary, Lutyens and the Albion venues, in Shoreditch and Bankside.
The look remains very much French brasserie but the food menu is now influenced by the United States. Dishes range from macaroni cheese and steak tartare to hot dogs, burgers and steaks cooked on the Josper grill. There are express menus, too.
The global wine list offers 25 red and 25 whites, with around a third available by the glass. Craft beers and ciders also feature, with six options taking in the US, Sweden, Edinburgh, Somerset and France. Classic cocktails are given a twist.

Very disappointing. Bad food bad service.
A review in two words; disgraceful service. Our first waitress was very brash, and was seeminly annoyed when we took time to order. We asked for wine with them meal, for which the waiter belated gave us a wine list. We were then ignored by the waiting staff, so ended up not having any wine with our meal. The waiter I did manage to flag down, simply shrugged and pointed at another waiter across the room. Then to add insult to injury, I asked three different waiters for the bill, which was finally delivered after 20 minutes.
Sadly disappointing. I am a fan of both Arbutus and Wild Honey, so was expecting a top class meal for a reasonable price. Shame then, that the duck salad starter only had 3 tiny slices of cured duck which lacked real flavour, thereby failing both the quantity and quality test. For the main, I had to send the halibut back as it was soggy. It had a really unpleasant texture, like it had come out of the freezer and been cooked before it had been completely de-frosted. The replacement, steak and chips, was much better. Around the table, mixed reviews. Steak and chips was good. The swordfish ceviche starter a real disappointment - lacked any flavour. The 4 tiger prawns for nearly £18 main is a disgrace. The duck rillette starter was very good. The bread is good too. One saving grace was the waiter, who was excellent throughout and fully deserved the service charge. For over £50 a head though, I found the pricing out of kilter to the quality and wouldn't return.
I have been to this restaurant many times, and must admit that the previous reviews are quite possibly warranted. However, I just returned on my most recent trip to London with my family and we had a fantastic meal with service that was better than best. Our waitress was amazingly attentive despite the fact that it was a busy lunchtime and she had many tables to take care of. Everyone had something different (french fries were the only common item), and each dish was over the top delicious. The atmosphere is noisy, and bustling at noon, but very Parisian. I just love the whole experience - OH, and the cappucino is to die for!
Was very disappointed after I visited Les Deux Salons - we had booked for 6pm and at the time of booking had requested the theatre menu. We got there and when we asked for the theatre menus were told it finished at 6pm, even though everything said 6.30. "oh that's an error" But it was everywhere, our waitress went and fetched the supervisor who was rude, blunt, rushed us, made us feel really unwelcome, talked about us loudly to members of staff and had a fake smile the whole time she dealt with us. You'd think we were asking to eat for free and to have the serve us naked! Then she dealt incredibly badly with a declined card, treated us like we were criminals which as anyone who has ever worked in the service industry knows you just simply don't do because 9 out of 10 declined cards will be an error with the bank and not an error with the customer. Rude & very disappointed. Oh yeah and the food was only okay.
We absolutely loved every time we were at Arbutus so we decided to try out the 'sister restaurant'. We went there on a sunday night and even though there were more people working in the kitchen then their were restaurant guests, our food wasn't properly cooked and too cold. When we decided to say something about it, we had to please ourself with a simple 'sorry'.
Ate here New Year's Eve and had a lovely meal, good service and lively atmosphere. Would recommend to families for good value.
I read this review and looked at the comments below and decided to go with the expert view rather than listen to people's comments on the basis that those who shout loudest are generally complaining. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. The restaurant was appalling. The service derisory and the food no better than a Cafe Rouge, and that is being seriously generous. Some of the highlights include the manger coming over to the table with 'ta da' when after one of our party's main dish arrived after some trouble and after everyone else were putting down their knives and forks. The waiter advising us that their rare came up very rare and we should order a medium rare for the rib of beef for two. It arrived well done - not even slightly red- and the waiter's response was 'we have troubles controlling the grill.' Our bill came to just over £300 for 5 people, only two having starters and two having desserts, one person not drinking, and only three coffees. Normally I dont write these reviews - see reasons given earlier- and I normally wouldnt complain about the charge, but I have never left a restaurant feellng so ripped off. Not only by the restaurant, but this appalling and grossly inaccurate review. How easy is it to get a review so wrong. Isn't that the point of Time Out? I was embarassed to have chosen the restaurant on the basis of a Time Out review and will not do so again!!
I've eaten dinner at Les Deaux Salons several times and it has been delicious but the afternoon tea there was seriously disappointing. An empty room with only one other table of diners, no background music so the room was silent, a small plate of dry sandwiches (and we were told we would have to pay extra for refils), the scones were delicious but the 'cake' course was just just 4 chunky, stodgy slices of cake that were too filling, too heavy and too samey to bother eating. Truly disappointing.
My parents and siblings visited me 1 month ago and they are very difficult when it turns to food/restaurants (We are French, they like only good French cuisine so you can imagine how stressed I was when it came to choose the restaurant!). The food was very very good, all my family loved it, the service was rapid, and the bill was not so high. I will definitely go back there and I recommend to all of you.
I visited with my parents for lunch just over a month ago, and our experience was lovely. Service was attentive, relaxed and charming perhaps but certainly not laid back. The food excellent, with the leek tart and the rabbit particularly so. I was a little concerned about the decor maybe being gimmicy, but I was won over by the quality and attention to detail, I enjoyed the feel of the place.
Before I went to LDS last Friday I was prepared to take a chance of bad service and food that mentioned here by fellow reviewers, and I was pleased they didn't reflect the reality. We sat at the bar and had a great time, the service was attentive and charming, wine and food were delicious, even we only sampled one of the starters - salt cod brandade. When we were paying, the waiter seemed pleased we enjoyed our time there, and said come to have dinner next time and they will look after us properly. I know they were only words, but I regarded that was very good customer service.
I was extremely disappointed by Les Deux Salons, especially given Guy's rave review above. Granted, the service and wine list (particularly the inclusion of the carafe option) were both pretty good, and the decor was nice enough if a little forced. The food however, was really quite terrible. The foie gras was unpleasantly hard and was clearly served straight from the fridge, the 'toasted sourdough' accompanying the Cornish sardines barely passed for croutons. The bouillabaisse was incredibly rich and over-seasoned, no bread was served to accompany the rouille and I was disappointed when informed that it was made without any shellfish. The minted lamb was OK but the presentation was slapdash and the dish was luke-warm when it arrived at the table. Desserts were both mediocre chain-quality fare. Overall Les Deux Salons didn't meet expectation and left us feeling like we'd been ripped off.
We had dinner at Les deux Salons last Saturday on our way to Covent Garden. It was - by far - the worst meal in a very very long time. The food was consistently cold - the cod brandade was lukewarm at best - the steak was almost as raw as a steak tartare...pretty much impossible to eat. The terrine was 75% fat. The service was as cold as the food. We are great admirers of next door Terroir and decided to give it a try. Should not have done so. The room is pretty and the facilities are very clean, but that is about it. This has to be the ultimate tourist trap. Avoid it at all costs. To add insult to injury, when we were asked how we liked the place and answered that to be frank not so much as the food was cold the answer was in line with the overall experience "too bad"....
Attractive decor and good general Brasserie ambiance; wine by the carafe is a good idea and enables you to discover more expensive options but the Argentinian wine we ordered was too warm as was the overall temperature in the restaurant! The food was acceptable but nothing to write home about. Service was generally shabby and underwhelming: loads of staff prancing around clearly disinterested in the diners! Feels like this restaurant has all the ingredients but not quite mastered the recipe.

Portable Ironing Table and summer sewing
28 comments:
Love the idea of turning old tv trays into ironing boards!! So great!! I think I might have thrown away my old ones in the last move. Bummer. I guess I will need to go get some more :)ReplyDelete
I've seen them at Walmart for about 8.00 brand new. So still pretty affordable IMO.ReplyDelete
I bet that's a handy thing to have. I have a few TV trays that we never use, so I need to make one (or more).ReplyDelete
What a brilliant idea! I need to do this since I also set up my sewing on the kitchen table despite having a wonderful office in my basement. (There's just nothing for a 5, 4 and 2 year old to do down there....)ReplyDelete
How great. I will have to go and dig out my old tray from storage.ReplyDelete
Have a lovely weekend!
Very cool! I've always wanted to make one too, but don't have a friend Diane. ;-) Your set up looks like such a productive space! Thanks for the reminder!ReplyDelete
What a great idea!ReplyDelete
I just stumbled upon your blog today, and have spent the better part of the day drooling over your work. Those Ombre quilts from a while back are maybe the prettiest things I've ever seen. You're making me sorely tempted to try my hand at quilting again (despite the fact that I can barely thread a needle).ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh go for it! (Lots of peer pressure here. lol). Don't worry - threading gets easier and easier. And isn't that Ombre fabric awesome?Delete
Very cunning plan with the ironing table!ReplyDelete
Hi Amy. :o)ReplyDelete
Oh boy, I can't wait to see what you are creating!
Your ironing table is so clever and super cute!
I need to keep a close watch for tv trays, so I too
can make one. :o) How convenient to have it right
there by your sewing table. :o)
Your family tree border is just precious. What a dear
heirloom it will be!!
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
love ya, Trish
Your quilt looks so pretty! Looking forward to seeing it finished! Great idea for the portable ironing board! Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful weekend! xo HeatherReplyDelete
Where did you find the tray to make the table? I can't find one.ReplyDeleteReplies
WalMart or Target. They both have them. :)Delete
I found mine as a whole set at a garage sale.ReplyDelete
I made one, but I made my cover removable. I like that I can still use the tray table as a tray table if needed and that the cover can be thrown in the wash when it gets a little grubby looking.ReplyDelete
I was thinking about using a TV tray for an ironing board! This tutorial answers all my questions, Thank you!ReplyDelete
What an excellent idea!ReplyDelete
Hahaha....kids are getting older too...can entertain themselves better!:)ReplyDelete
I'm going to have to go thrift shopping to look for one of those traytables....actually I think my parents have several...visiting them next week....hmmm!:)
I am honored you would let me help you with a project! Anytime! I love your pips quilt, too. Love, Lady DiReplyDelete
Loving your Blog. Just blogged about my crafty weekend with my girls. I love all the crafty things. So relaxing and great fun :)ReplyDelete
I have a huge new sewing/craft room in the basement but I still lug my sewing machine upstairs and do most of my sewing at the kitchen table. I'm sure it irritates my hubby but it's the only way I can sew and keep an eye on my son and our naughty puppy. I spend way too much time running from the kitchen downstairs to my ironing board so I totally need to make a portable one!ReplyDelete
What a fun idea. I can't WAIT to see your family tree quilt -- I'm hoarding a few of those panels myself!ReplyDelete
I so have one of those TV trays floating around the house! What a great idea :-DReplyDelete
I can't imagine setting up to sew at a table, my machine is on a desk and ready to sew at any time (and I still don't get any sewing done). I admire you for taking the time to set up at a table and getting so much done!ReplyDelete
Such a brilliant idea! Never underestimate the creativity of women! I went to Target and bought me a tray table for $9.99 (not exactly a bargain, but certainly affordable). I had everything else I needed in my sewing room, and in about 15 minutes (with my husbands extra hands) I had me a great portable small ironing table. I can't wait to use it!ReplyDelete
I saw one of those trays for $1 at the thrift store last weekend...such a great idea for my rather cramped sewing room!ReplyDelete
I got my hands on the same fabric family tree fabric and have not yet looked for any finished examples, so I am anxiously awaiting your finished product!ReplyDelete

Kitchen Mistakes We Made So You Don't Have To
Our food experts know a good idea when they see one. Working side by side in a test kitchen, one eye on their cutting board and the other on their neighbors, is the next best thing to standing next to cook-wise grandmothers at the stove. With their swapping of tips and techniques as commonplace as passing the olive oil, we thought it was time for the rest of us to take advantage of some of that insider info.
Even the best of the best slip up from time to time; check out their messiest mistakes and learn their kitchen secrets.
Tip: Shop Smart
For the best flavor, freshness, and nutrition, buy vegetables whole and untrimmed — and don't waste a thing. Remove beet and turnip greens, for instance, when you get home, and store them separately (they last longer that way). Saut é ed or quick-braised until reduced in volume, they will turn flavorful and satiny. Celery, celery root, and even radish leaves add an aromatic herbal note to salads. When you see roots, grab 'em. A delicate shaving of fresh horseradish delivers a more potent punch than its bottled counterpart — and herbs with their roots left on stay vibrant longer. Cilantro stems and roots add depth and complexity to Southeast Asian and Indian stir-fries, soups, and curries.
