  1. I remember making butter in a blender as a kid, after seeing instructions on how to do it with ice and cream in the newspaper or something.
  2. I love La Costa and when I'm visiting a friend who only lives about 2 miles from the restaurant I insist we go, usually on the first night I'm there. I agree with your opinion of the salsa and chips being so good, and signaling the goodness to come. Their mole dishes are good.
  3. I visit a friend in Wilmington at least twice a year, I've been to Fork and Cork a few times, loved their short rib mac & cheese!
  4. I have found that If I'm going to D.C., UBER Black is the only one I can depend on to actually get me there on time and back in a decent vehicle. I've had too many experiences with regular UBER that results in a beat to hell car showing up with a driver who has no idea how to get anywhere.
  5. I caught a bit of a live performance when surfing channels the other night, and compared to the first time I saw them, I thought they were more formidable sounding than I had previously given them credit for. But I'm not familiar with their material and that was just a narrow sample.
  6. I evacuated my apartment Friday night after a day without power, and decamped to the Residence Inn in Arlington. I stepped out to grab a sub from Taylor, since it was nearby and I wanted to get back to my cat who was with me. I ordered the cheesesteak, but thought I'd be "healthy" and get chicken instead of beef. Ugh. Too much bread, too dry. I nibbled on it all night.
  7. I was bummed to not see the Cultured Salted Butter on the refrigerated shelves on my last visit.
  8. Tonight is Arugula Pesto over DeCicco gnocchi with a salad of baby lettuce and Campari tomatos. The wine is something called Crimson Thread, a red blend. I told my cat it was named after him.
  9. And the U.S. spoiled the party for everyone....
  10. Haven't been there since 2003, but stayed at Grand Hotel de l'Opera the night before flying home, and due to fatigue just ate in the hotel restaurant and had a memorable Cassoulet.
  11. Thanks! I get intimidated by the sushi experience.
  12. I like the sushi at Wegman's in Fairfax. But I haven't had any since I have difficulty finding a package that doesn't use quinoa and brown rice. Disclaimer: I am not much of a seafood eater, salmon and tuna are my speed.
  13. As the article mentions, in 2012 he whined that Papa John’s might have to raise prices on its (so called) pizza by 11 to 14 cents per pie to offset penalties he claimed would be imposed under the Affordable Care Act.
  14. I'm an American Cheese snob. Land 'o Lakes is the best, and Wegman's house brand is very close. I really don't care for some of the other supermarket brands of American Cheese.
  15. Well, all malls seem to desperately need more space for stores that sell clothes to size 0 women you know...
  16. I know when Minerva still had their Fairfax outpost, Chicken 65 was on the menu.
  17. I don't care what anyone thinks, I like the TJ's Cultured and Salted butter. Because it has both qualities that appeal to me, a bit of a tang, but salted.
  18. Based on your recommendation, I bought a tub the other night. Delicious!
