Alton Brown would be proud!

Zora, I just returned from Ventura/Santa Barbara via LAX. I did not make it to Guelaguetza in LA, but I did make it to Super-Rica in Santa Barbara (where I stood in a long line and watched them make corn tortillas) and Cuernavaca Taqueria in Ventura (where the salsas were amazing). Joe H, I could not bring myself to try an In N Out burger. I haven't had a fast food burger in ages (and was a vegetarian for years), so even though I've read your stories about In N Out burgers with tears of laughter in my eyes, I could not order a burger. Maybe I will do so next time, when I have more time. For some reason, I felt like I was going to White Castle.

Have you been to, what I affectionately call, "New Corduroy?" There are many reasons to go, and you know that, but you may not know that our own MelGold is a hostess at Corduroy, and she looks like a million bucks. Go. Say hi. And, tell her how great she looks!

14th & U Market, 14th & U Streets NW
Halloween replied to TedE's topic in Farms and Farmers' Markets
Anna, I am not aware of a website, but Robin Shuster (the market organizer, I believe) sends a weekly email about the market, the producers, and the produce. To join the U Street list and/or the Bloomingdale list, email Robin at robin.shuster@verizon.net. I went to the U Street Market today and purchased asparagus, strawberries, green garlic, a tomato plant, and a scone. I'm sure you'll see me at Dupont tomorrow since I'm out of yogurt! -
I am laughing out loud, Scott! Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the picnic (i'll be out of town), so it may not be necessary for you to bring the surgical kit!

Shhhhhhhhh! -
I am happy to report that I met my goal of losing five pounds by March 31. Yeah! Now, I need to get my body in motion. I was in a car accident a couple of weeks ago, so I've been taking it easy on the exercise, but there are some lower-body exercises I can do (like walking, walking, walking!) that should be fine. The goal for April: walk 30 minutes, four times/week; lose 4 pounds *ETA: I didn't lose my arms in the accident! I injured my neck and back, so my ability to do upper-body exercises is limited for now. Thanks for your concern!

District Grill, 12th & K Streets NW

Stop this torture, and eliminate this thread! I have spent the last two months in denial, and you guys are blowing it for me! *I just read the menu. Couldn't help myself. What do I have to say? Let us pray. -
I love this place. The food is happy and delicious (I like especially the Columbian chicken), the location is convenient to my home, and the price is right. I've been buying a whole chicken at the beginning of the week and eating it for several lunches and dinners.

Meaghan, What can I say. If feels like you and I (and especially you) are a long way from December, when we were throwing caution to the wind, and eating, and drinking and getting merry like Christmas. I am so proud of you, and you look great! Size 4?!!!!

Thank you very much, Joe. I appreciate your support and encouragement.

Funny! It's been about a month since i've posted. I was deeply committed to honoring Corduroy by spending 8-10 days in a row there until they closed on January 31. Some of those evenings are best left forgotten, but how often do you get to close your cheers?! Since then, I think i've been out to eat twice, because I seriously needed a break. So i've been cooking a lot, and I've lost about three pounds this month, but i'm having serious hang-out withdrawal symptoms. Searching for that nice middle ground. My goal is to lose five more pounds by March 31. My co-worker and I are competing, so i've got an added incentive. Yippee!

I'm not much of a cupcake person, but I like Cakelove's cupcakes (especially the new german chocolate cake), and I know other people who enjoy them, as well. I'd take Cakelove's baked goods over Starbucks' any day. Most cupcakes remind me of boxed cake mix, while Cakelove's taste like real cake to me.

The Tabard Inn has an excellent Bloody Mary. In fact, The Tabard's BMary is the only one i've enjoyed, as I am otherwise not a big fan of the drink.

To Whom Are You Drinking Right Now?
Halloween replied to starfish's topic in Beer, Wine, and Cocktails
I am drinking to lyonhearted, who would have celebrated his birthday today. Brent, I am drinking water. Shocking! -
By the way, Meaghan, you look great!! Your commitment to working out is really paying off, and it is inspiring me!
-
I concur.
-
Get thee to Corduroy. The deals are outrageous! I'm not sure how i'm going to make it through this week!
-
You're just jumping right in, aren't you, And? Welcome to Fantasy Island!
-
Really? How so?
-
I thought it was pretty funny!
-
As it turns out, I have lost a couple of pounds, but not because of my commitment to working out three times a week. I think it's because I have worked out a bit, and i've been eating less when I go out. This was so much easier last year, but so what. Yoga tomorrow. workout mon, wed.

As my nephew says, that is Hularious!
