Apologies for the delayed post this morning. I was being very productive. I had my safety inspection done on my car, and I remembered having it done the year before at the same service center in my neighborhood just before we closed on the house. Which means we’ve been there for nearly a year. I […]

Travel – Montreal
Late in the summer/early in the fall, the Boy and I started looking around to where we might go for our “long holiday weekend travelling” in the fall. One place we’d talked about for a while was going up to Canada – so close, and still technically foreign! And with the Veteran’s Day weekend providing […]
Restaurant – Co Co. Sala
So I think I’ve established pretty well that the Boy and I are big fans of trying out new (and old) restaurants. And with our Shakespeare Theatre tickets, we have evenings where we are already in DC and have the opportunity to go out and enjoy ourselves. The evening we saw Romeo and Juliet we […]
Restaurant – Jacques’ Brasserie
I’ve mentioned before that my young adults group at church likes to do brunch (and happy hour). And we are serious about it – every month, we choose a restaurant, and we chow down while catching up socially and doing planning. This time, we even did some spiritual discussion. It was a very good event. Part […]
Restaurant – Cafe Berlin
When the Boy and I took H out to her very first weeknight theater experience in DC, we decided we wanted to do the whole shebang, which for us includes dinner beforehand. The main problem with doing that and going to the Folger is that the Library itself is properly on Capitol Hill…and the surrounding […]
Travel – London Restaurants
How long did you think I could stretch out content from our London trip? Did you answer 3 months? Ding ding ding! But today’s post is potentially one of the most useful from that trip, so best for last, eh? Obviously I love good food, and the Boy does too, so we were eager to try […]
Restaurant – Del Ray Pizzeria
I love pizza. Like in the way that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles love pizza. I probably eat it in the same graceful way that they do, which is to say, not at all graceful. I love pizza so much that I rarely give myself time to let it cool, and will often burn the […]
Restaurant – Evening Star Cafe
Moving to a new neighborhood with new local restaurants is always difficult. One of the challenges that I actually like best about moving is having an entirely new set of restaurants and shops that need to be visited and tried out in an effort to really get to know my neighborhood. You know – for […]
Restaurant – Mussel Bar and Grille
I love mussels. They’re something that I only started eating in the past decade or so because of previous shellfish biases, but after I first tried them, I loved them. It’s become a thing where if I go to a restaurant, and there are mussels on the menu, my choice of entree becomes that much […]
Restaurant – Hank’s Pasta Bar
For so many parents, it is the bane of their existence to serve pasta to their children. Not because pasta isn’t delicious, but because so many children get stuck in a beige-food rut where pasta is the food of choice for years straight, and that gets wearisome. Also – rainbow colored foods (vegetables!) are important […]
