Happy trails to me! I am off to Washington DC to visit L. (best girlfriend and college roommate) who is, in her own words, "growing a giant baby." This is our last hurrah before aforementioned baby, giant or otherwise, arrives, and although it's too late in her pregnancy for us to paint the town red, toss back bottles of wine and sing drinking songs, we do plan to enjoy ourselves mightily. Luckily I am one organized overachiever, and so I have posts ready to go while I am gone. Here is what you might enjoy reading about when I return:
Burmese food L. reports there is a great, cheap Burmese restaurant near her house so we're planning to order in the night I arrive. I know a wee bit about geography and so I imagine Burmese food is not too dissimilar from Indian food, which you know I like to eat until I cannot fit one more thin pappadam into my belly.
Spring! I realize this is a food blog, but in the last few years I have come to crave warmer weather; I even got so I don't mind sweating! (Though I prefer the term "glow.") It's supposed to be in the 70s and 80s while I am back East and I have skirts, espadrilles and tank tops packed in preparation! They're dusty from not having been used since I went to Hawaii, but they'll do.
Cashion's Eat Place This will be our big splurge (hey, I'm a starving artist, remember?) L. waxes rhapsodic about the menu's small southern influences - both of us grew up in different parts of Virginia, L. in a part of the state where twangy accents aren't altogether uncommon - so it may be a bit like going home. (sigh)
Healthy Eating I know, I know, but if you have been keeping up with my posts you know that I've eaten out for the vast majority of the last few weeks, and that comes with a price (that is etched on my thighs...) L. is pregnant, I need to detoxify, and L.'s hubbie R. is going to have to suffer alongside us (isn't that a man's purpose in life?) I am toting a new cookbook all the way to DC to cook from. More on that later...
Ta ta!
