Restaurant Review: Tujague's

In case you didn't know I live (born and raised) in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans is known worldwide for its food..so its no surprise that I'm a foodie ha ha. This year I decided to try new restaurants instead of just going to my favorites. To kick start my "new restaurant experience" I tried Tujague's Restaurant. I give this restaurant 4.5 (out of 5) stars! I really enjoyed the entire experience.


I reviewed the restaurant on 5 categories:

1. Service- the service was superb! Not only did our waitress wait on us but so did other staff
2. Price- I thought the price was pretty reasonable for all the food we had.  Our bill was $107.00 (2 people) BUT we each had a five course meal.
3. Taste- the food was delicious! I had a shrimp  remoulade salad, gumbo, brisket appetizer, BBQ shrimp and banana bread pudding...all of it was good.
4. Location-  Tujague's is located in the heart of the city, the French Quarters. This location is great for both tourists and natives. The only down side about this location is the parking.
5. Ambiance- The restaurant had a very nice and simple atmosphere. White table clothes and candles set the mood. see picture below.


If you're ever in the New Orleans area I  recommend you give Tujague's a try. XOXO -Angelle

Too Good Too Be True

When things are going right I get suspicious, so when I meet a good guy and he likes me I am constantly searching for that "aha gotcha you slimy sucker" moment. I am usually testing him and waiting with such anticipation to catch him in a lie. I cant really enjoy the experience of getting to know him because I am so busy trying to get the experience over with by trying to immediately figure out his game so I dont have to talk to him or invest feelings into him.

Then I remembered awhile back I saw Brene Brown on Super Soul Sunday talking about how we sometimes have a dress rehearsal for tragedy when everything is going right, similar to that age old feeling "too good to be true."

Here is Brene on Katie Couric show.

Keep Stepping!!!

If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. - Martin Luther King Jr.

Have the faith to pursue your dreams and trust that if you miss a step God is right there to catch you. 

Love,
