Cuando hace un aƱo Carlos y yo vimos el programa Chef's Table que hicieron sobre Grant Achatz decidimos que tenĆamos que ir a conocer Alinea, asĆ que en cuanto nos mudamos a Estados Unidos empezamos a preparar esta escapada. Chicago nos ha conquistado del todo, y la experiencia en este restaurante fue alucinante. TenĆ©is hambre?
When Carlos and I watched Chef's Table episode about Grant Achatz a year ago we decided we had to go to Alinea. So, the moment we landed in United States we started planning this getaway. We loved Chicago, and the experience at the restaurant was amazing. Are you hungry?
Buenos dĆas! Nuestro segundo dĆa en Chicago lo dedicamos a subir a dos de sus torres y a pasear por el Navy Pier y el Loop. La ciudad desde las alturas es casi mĆ”s impresionante que desde abajo! Os venĆs? Nos espera una larga caminata con paradas para reponer fuerzas a lo grande!
Good morning! We spent our second day in Chicago at two of its towers and walking around Navy Pier and the Loop. The city from its heights is almost more spectacular than from the streets! Are you coming? Get ready for a long walk and some food in between!
Buenos dĆas! La semana pasada estuvimos en Chicago, y no podĆa esperar para enseƱaros esta increĆble ciudad!

Buenos dĆas! Hoy os traigo otra idea para reciclar cajas de vino y seguir amueblando rincones. Esta vez hacemos una mesita estrecha, con espacio para almacenar en sus patas y un montĆ³n de usos diferentes. A ver quĆ© os parece!
Good morning! Today we are recycling wine crates to furnish another corner. This time I´m making a narrow table with storage space in its legs and several ways of using it. Let me know what you think!

IKAT, Textile Museum and Sackler Gallery, Washington DC
By Sugar Lane - Tuesday, May 22, 2018
Buenos dĆas! Ahora mismo coinciden dos exposiciones sobre el Ikat en Washington, asĆ que he aprendido mucho sobre esta tĆ©cnica de teƱir, que es fascinante. Empezamos el recorrido en el Museo Textil, donde explican de maravilla todo el proceso de elaboraciĆ³n de estos tejidos. DespuĆ©s nos vamos a la GalerĆa Sackler donde, ademĆ”s de enseƱar algunas piezas de UzbekistĆ”n y el Valle de Fergana, han reunido tĆŗnicas del siglo XIX y diseƱos de Oscar de la Renta realizados en ikat de algodĆ³n, seda y lana.
Good morning! Right now there are two Ikat exhibitions in DC, so I've learn a lot about this dying technique, which is amazing. We are starting at the Textile Museum, where they explain the process to make this fabric. Then we are visiting the Sackler Gallery, where they are showing some Ikat pieces fro Uzbekistan and Fergana Valley and some ikat garments from the 19th Century as well as recent Oscar de la Renta designs made in cotton, silk and wool.
Buenos dĆas! La primavera en DC estĆ” siendo mucho mejor que el invierno. Ya se ha pasado el boom de los cerezos, y ahora tenemos un clima cĆ”lido de lo mas agradable. Hoy os enseƱo las Ćŗltimas fotos de los cerezos en flor, con una de mis batas de seda favoritas, ideal para este tiempo!
Good morning! Spring in DC is way better than Winter. The cherry blossom festival has finished, and now we have the most pleasant warm weather. Today I'm showing you the last cherry flowers pictures, wearing one of my favourite silk robes, perfect for this season!

Buenos dĆas! Sigo decorando las paredes de nuestro hogar, esta vez con una acuarela enmarcada con materiales reciclados. Yo he enmarcado una acuarela rĆ”pida, pero podĆ©is enmarcar fotos, lĆ”minas o cualquier cosa que tengĆ”is en mente. Para el marco he utilizado palitos de madera de los que se usan para remover el azĆŗcar del cafĆ©, tambiĆ©n lo podĆ©is hacer con palitos de helados o incluso ramitas para un aire rĆŗstico. Es importante que los palitos estĆ©n limpios y secos, si los lavĆ”is dejadlos secar bien y utilizad solo los que queden planos. TambiĆ©n los podĆ©is sumergir en tĆ© o cafĆ© para que se oscurezcan un poco. Empezamos?
Good morning! Here is one more idea I have used to decorate the walls at our home, this time I've framed a watercolor with recycled materials. I painted a quick watercolor, but you can frame photos, posters or any idea you have on your mind. I have used wood sticks for the frame, the ones used to stir coffee or tea, but you can also use ice cream sticks and even twigs for a rustic vibe. Make sure the sticks are clean and dry, if you wash them dry them properly and use the flat ones. You can also put them in tea or coffee to get a darker shade. Let's start!
WHEN: Winter 2018
Buenos dĆas! Hoy profundizamos en el Acuario Nacional, una de las mayores atracciones de Baltimore. A primeras suena a actividad para ir en familia con niƱos, pero la verdad es que es para todas las edades, es espectacular ver tantĆsimas especies de las que sabemos tan poco. AsĆ que si estĆ”is por la zona os lo recomiendo!
Good morning! Today we are diving in Baltimore's National Aquarium, one of the main attractions in the city. At first it might sound like a plan for families with children, but it turns out it's a cool place for all ages, it is so amazing discovering all these species we have no knowledge of. So, if you are in the neighbourhood, I really recommend it!
