Thai at Corner

Leaf — Wed, 09 May 2012 09:53:59 +0000

What does it even mean?? Thai at Corner? It sounds even funnier when you say it out loud. Thai at Corner. The food is great though, and for its convenience, we’re definitely coming back. And I’d definitely want to take …

Don’t trust the USDA

Leaf — Thu, 03 May 2012 00:03:06 +0000

The recent exposure that a cow tested positive for Mad Cow Disease (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) in California came as not much of a surprise to me. When the beef industry is so powerful they can successfully lobby the USDA to …

Luke’s Lobster

Leaf — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 04:46:55 +0000

Even though the weather got cooler this past week, we decided to head out for a food excursion in DC today. It was a bit overcast the whole day which actually made for better walking conditions. Our first stop, Luke’s …

The Greene Turtle

In short, I would rather eat at PF Chang’s than here. Few places are worse than PF Chang’s. This is one of them. This was my first time eating at any Greene Turtle and if I can help it, I …

1789

Leaf — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:57:36 +0000

This was a neat restaurant we visited this past weekend. It sits just about on the campus of Georgetown so getting there was half the fun. Except for the spooky part where we almost walked up the exorcist steps to …

Mad Rose Tavern

Leaf — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 02:14:55 +0000

The weather was so nice out tonight, there was a line for outdoor tables so we were the only ones sitting inside and got pretty good service. It was kind of hard for me to judge on the food tonight …

The last year of Girl Scout Cookies

Leaf — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 17:13:36 +0000

It’s not the last year Girl Scouts are ever selling cookies. It’s just the last year we have an actual Girl Scout in the family, thereby making it that much easier and enticing to get them. Alas, our dear cousin …

R&R Taqueria

Leaf — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 03:36:24 +0000

For such an obscure little taco shop in a suburban/rural gas station, this place sure does get steady business. Of course, getting on Seitsema’s 2011 Fall Dining Guide as well as the Best Cheap Eats list in Washingtonian Magazine didn’t …

Happy Valley

Leaf — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:43:17 +0000

We went to Pennsylvania this past weekend for an overnight visit. It snowed almost the whole time we were there and Saturday night felt like our first truly wintry night. Temperatures dipped down to 18 degrees! For dinner, we dined …

Super Bowl Dinner

Leaf — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 03:23:32 +0000

For this year’s Super Bowl Sunday, I made chicken wings using this Buttermilk Roast Chicken recipe I had tried a week or so ago. I had originally done it using drumsticks as the recipe recommended and it was very simple …
