Morning! Today, I cooked for you . In keeping with our new quinoa-salad-for-lunch series, this one is certainly my favorite yet! Sweet, juicy mango, plump blueberries and crisp, clean cucumber. So summery, so refreshing! Plus, unlike the others, this recipe is more sweet than savory. Perfect for anyone with a non-stop sweet tooth (me!). The [...]

Morning! Joelle and I were out way past our bedtimes last night, at an advance screening of the new Transformers movie. We were given the tickets through Joelle’s job so of course we had to go!

So you don’t get any food in this post. But I will show you some white wine in paper cups, so that kind of counts, right?? Every Friday during the summer, the National Gallery of Art holds a jazz concert in its Sculpture Garden. I’m fairly certain the entire city of DC manages to find [...]

As you may recall, last Sunday’s dinner plans had to be rescheduled due to a pesky flat tire situation. I was bummed at the time but that only meant a make-up dinner this Sunday! Dinner was with my friend Jackie, who was also my CA travel buddy. It was our first time getting together post-travels [...]

Good morning, Good morning! How happy are we that it’s Friday. So as promised, last night’s Nat’s Game! If you know me, you will know I’m not a sports fan at all. Sometimes I pretend to watch for social acceptability but it’s like I’m starting at the screen and nothing is actually going in my [...]
