HOLY EARTHQUAKE DC!
So just experienced my first quake… no biggie. CFO turned to me and said are you shaking the table? Shortly after the entire room started to shake. Having never experienced such a thing, most people rationalized it in different ways. For my old coworkers in Chantilly, being so close to Dulles airport they thought it … Read more

Enter Honeypig from Annandale, VA. The VUrdict: KOREAN BBQ IS AMAZING! A savory flavor explosion, soy sauce, garlic, and onion. The scent … Read more
Rome – Pasta with bacon, mushrooms, and tomato sauce
If you guessed Italy, Rome, or the Colosseum for yesterday’s Wordless Wednesday you’re right! I grabbed a panini and munched while admiring the Arch of Constantine and the Colosseum. Last October my husband and I spent 7 days in Italy, 3 days in Rome, 2 in Florence, and 2 in Venice.
Sushi FAIL
I’ve always learned things the hard way, whether by choice or bad luck, it’s the way it is. I suck at frying stuff, from tofu (scramble) to rock hard egg rolls to overcooked tempura, no bueno.
