I love Ray's Hell Burger, but haven't been to the new sit-down Hell Burger Too. Does anyone know if they have veggie burgers on the expanded menu? I just found out that one of the friends I'm meeting for dinner is now a vegetarian. Thank you! jchao

We will also serve some light refreshments and have a special display or archival materials relating to prohibition in Washington. The cost is $15/person.

I've ordered lunches from Bread & Brew, and they are quite good. They offer a variety of sandwiches and salads and a cookie/brownie platter in that price range. I usually speak with Teri, who is very helpful.

Sorry for the delayed response, I've been out of town for work. We've had a few wine tastings, and they've been a lot of fun. We try to select wines around a theme - this time the wines will all be summery whites from countries that the Andersons visited. If weather permits we'll serve the wine in our recently-rennovated garden. The museum and some behind-the-scenes spaces will be open, and we'll have docents and museum staff available. A staff member from Ace Beverage will pour and talk about the wines and we will have light refreshments. We're looking forward to it!

Enjoy rare views of behind-the-scenes spaces in historic Anderson House (a Beaux Arts mansion on Embassy Row), featuring the secret staircase and kitchen, and wine tasting in the garden (weather permitting).

Wines provided by Ace Beverage. 6-8pm $15/adults Register online at www.societyofthecincinnati.org/public.htm For more information: events@societyofthecincinnati.org 202.785.2040 x410 Anderson House 2118 Massachusetts Ave., NW Washington, DC 20008 I'm the manager of meetings and events at Anderson House.

I'd be happy to make marshmallows. If I get adventurous I can try making graham crackers for s'mores too.

Hello, I'm Jenna and I've been on the board for a while now, but I've never posted before. My husband (chaofun) and I are very into food and wine, especially local and sustainable foods. I enjoy baking, gardening and entertaining, and I'm trying to learn more about home cheese-making. I look forward to getting more involved with the board!
