For the first time ever, Larry and I decided not to go to Indiana to spend Thanksgiving with our family. Instead, to save money and vacation days, we stayed in DC and had our own little private Thanksgiving. We contemplated going to a restaurant, but decided on something even better: lobster. (I’m not a huge [...]
What’s the best way to start the day? Getting a prize in your cereal!
Totally unexpected and delightful. It just fell out as Larry was pouring the cereal into his bowl. Do you remember HOW COOL it was to get the prize out of the cereal when you were a kid? I remember tipping the cereal [...]
My mom is in town for a few days (not really to visit but to help my uncle and cousin while my aunt is in the hospital recovering from brain surgery [!!!]). I dropped her off at my uncle’s house this afternoon, but before we parted Larry and I took her to Eden Center for [...]
I’ve lived in Bethesda for four years, and today I finally made it to the annual Taste of Bethesda. It’s sad that I’ve never been before, because it is literally right outside my door. With the apartment windows open, scents of grilled meat waft into the apartment, and I can hear the bands playing Cream [...]
Grrrrr. I just wrote a nice little review of my trip to Farrah Olivia, and I somehow lost the entire post. I really don’t feel like writing it again.
To sum it up: Farrah Olivia is awesome. Delicious. Try the five course dinner. Totally worth it. Get the lemon cheesecake for dessert. SO GOOD.

Larry is out of town for the next two weeks, so I’m home alone. AAAAAHHHHHH (hands on face.)
Larry usually does all the cooking around here, so if anyone wants to come over and make me dinner, you’re more than welcome. (I know, I know, I am so spoiled.) I’ll do the dishes. Otherwise, I will [...]
Last weekend was a whirlwind of activity, eating and emotions. My brother Eric was visiting from Indianapolis, and we managed to do some fun junk outdoors, eat way too much food and laugh a lot, in spite of some other really awful things that happened. (I’m still processing how to even write about one of [...]
Tonight, because I was tired and lazy and didn’t have the energy to prepare something for dinner (and Larry was out, so there was no hope of him making dinner), I went to the unnamed pizza/gyro shop across the street from my apartment building. I went all out and got the $4.99 pizza and soda [...]
On Friday evening, Larry and I joined our friends Amy, Kirk and Blythe at the Ritz Carlton for the return of Chocolate Decadence. Last spring, the Ritz held a Chocolate Decadence event every Friday night, an all-you-can-eat chocolate buffet of unimaginable sweetness. Amy, Blythe and I attended the spring event, which I blogged about here. [...]
Yesterday, Larry and I went to Chinatown in search of soup dumplings. We first saw soup dumplings a few weeks ago on Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations, when Anthony took a trip to Shanghai. The soup dumplings he ate at Nan Xiang restaurant in Shanghai were pillows of dough enveloping a rich soup broth. The smaller [...]
