Sigh... No.... Jennifer

I see a trip in my future this week. Screw this poverty thing... Never mind I was there on Saturday night. Jennifer

It's going into the space on PA Ave where Barcelo and Il Radiicchio used to be. Alas, I haven't seen any permits in the windows or any workmen moving about in my 2-3 days a weeks jaunts by to look longingly before settling for a return to trip to my office and another round of soup... Jennifer

We've only run in to Palena closing for an event once--Derek said one of the investors was getting married and having a rehersal dinner there. (At the time I was in high wedding planning mode and was deeply bummed we hadn't thought of that. Not that we could have afforded it...) I'm a big fan of the Cafe and on a good night we can get out for under $50. Not quite as cheap as I'm aiming these days though we're going on Monday night... Jennifer

Broke, broke, broke, and more broke... That's me for the next two weeks --taxes are evil and while Mr. BLB will gladly hand over cash and buy dinner when I ask, I'd prefer to keep that to a minimum. I'm also have a lousy day, lousy week, lousy month and lousy quarter. My cooking can only cheer me up so far... SO.... Where to get a decent meal when the bank is looking at you cross-eyed? In college, the classic was getting my last $5 out of the ATM machine and getting an Armands Steak and Cheese sub, heavy on the mayo. (I'm from the midwest, I didn't know any better....) Although now that I think about it, a slice of the spinach garlic pizza would be pretty darn good about now. Expand my horizons. I'm in the District but I have a car with a mostly full tank of gas and I Metro to work during the week.. Thanks! Jennifer
