Someone at work had the brilliant idea of having a fondue dinner for our team, and I volunteered to host it. I love planning for dinners, and lets face it, I live for decorating! With the exception of my boss’ band gigs, the extended gang, including significant others, doesn’t … Read More →

Zaytinya
Last night we made ourselves presentable and journeyed into downtown DC for a night of food and merriment in celebration of Lizzi’s birthday. Our food choice of the evening was Zaytinya, which specializes in Turkish, Greek, and Lebanese food served up on small plates, or mezzes, … Read More →
Simply Wine
I’m currently relaxing on the couch in our basement, laptop at the ready, enjoying one of my new favorite tv shows: Simply Wine on Fine Living. Hosting by Andrea Immer, each day’s show focuses on some area of the wine world. Tonight’s topic is The … Read More →
Jewish Soul Food
This weekend Adam and I had the opportunity to try out Chutzpah, a local Jewish deli that Lizzi has repeatedly raved about. And she was right! We met up with Matt and Lizzi and feasted on pickles and coleslaw and blintzes and generous open-faced sandwiches. I had a Hebrew … Read More →
Lebanese Taverna
We ventured out into the horrific traffic last night to meet up with the Scoobies at the Lebanese Taverna in Arlington. We wanted to wish Julie off on her conference in Milwaukee, and just generally have a meal together before everyone scatters to other places for … Read More →

It seems that Silverado is … Read More →
Strawberries and Coffee
Since Adam and I bought *way* too many strawberries for the Scoobie Valentine’s Fondue Extravaganza on Saturday, I generously brought some into the office to share with my coworkers. So now I’m drinking fresh coffee and eating ripe strawberries. I think all weeks should start out like this. :)
Wonderful dinner
Last night we enjoyed a delicious dinner at Lizzi’s house. The occasion was that her uncle was in town, so we all got to meet him and enjoy some home cooking as well. Lizzi made one of her first forays into beef last night — beef tenderloin roasted … Read More →
Boulevard Woodgrill
Our dinner choice of the evening turned out to be an excellent addition to the gang’s stable of eateries. Simple, upscale, and delicious American food was the name of the game. And, for me at least, American food means meatloaf. Mmmm. But not just any … Read More →

The award for Co-worker Most Likely to Get Bought Out By Google currently belongs to Soma, who recently released a very cool application called Snacksby. You tell it what you have in your pantry, it tells you what you can make with it. Its a cool site, … Read More →
