DWTS Season 19

Isn't it crazy, that Dancing With The Stars has been on for 19 seasons! I remember in the beginning, I would always watch; then I drifted off somewhere in the middle. However, the past couple of years, I have made sure to DVR each episode and voted for my favorite dancers!

It is always so exciting to see which celebrity will be joining the show, and which celebrity will be matched with the pros. This year, in my opinion, there where not a lot of known celebrity. But there are a couple of people that are already my favorites, see if you can figure them out.

Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson

remember him from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?; I just love her

Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas

a fan on "Duck Dynasty", and she is so cute very "girl next door"; kinda hoping she would be matched with Derek or Val

Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater

;loved Emma after seeing her with Bill

Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy

Big fan of PLL; I think this is a great pair

Lolo Jones and Keo Motsepe

I don't remember her in "Back to the Future", I was probably a little young, but I do remember her in "Switched at Birth"

Resturant Review: The Capital Grille

The first time I ate at The Capital Grille, I was visiting a friend in Dallas. The setting of the restaurant was very high scale yet lacking in the lighting department. The room was spacious and friendly, and had a very old school high society feel. So when I heard they where opening one near me, I was excited to try it during Houston Restaurant Week.

Both times I ordered a cup of clam chowder, an 8 oz. filet mignon, followed by a key lime pie. The meal also came with mashed potatoes and green beans. However, the second time, I added a extra set of shrimp. The food was great. The clam chowder tasted true to Boston roots. The steak was juicy yet filling, the mashed potatoes where the perfect amount of fluffy; I am not a large vegetable fan, so I will leave that out. The dessert was delicious! The key lime pie was a little citrus but you just couldn't stop going back for more.

Some would say, that restaurant week portions are small. However, I felt that the portions where just the perfect size.

Service for my first visit was a little spotty. However, service for my second visit was outstanding! The setting of the restaurant is a little more brighter, however it is significantly smaller then the Dallas location.
