All of the dished served here are handmade from scratch using the finest and freshest ingredients. The food here is incredible and the frozen drinks even more so. 🙂 [Read more…]

Summer Go-to – Mediterranean Orzo Salad
Summer is almost upon us! Among the many things that means for me (flip flops, happy hours on the patio, sundresses, laying by the pool – the list could go on and on), it also means my homemade Mediterranean Orzo Salad makes several appearances! [Read more…]
Date Night – Iron Man 3
Monthly date night is alive and well! Last month as you may remember Tommy and I dined at Kushi. This month we went with another traditional date night standby, going to a movie! It was Tommy’s turn to head up date night this month and he took note of all my hints… [Read more…]
Tuesday Tidbits – 31
1. Last week my friend Lindsay and I enjoyed a meal at Posto on 14th Street NW. She had never been there before and I had been only once before – in 2007 or so. The food, wine, and conversation were divine! [Read more…]

The celebration continues!
As you already know, last Saturday was Tommy’s birthday, but as luck would have it scheduling conflicts have turned his special day into a special week – not that anyone is complaining! [Read more…]
El Centro – Boston
I have had a couple of days to process all that has happened in Oklahoma and the surrounding areas due to devastating tornadoes. It still makes my eyes water when I see footage of all the tornadoes destruction especially in Moore. I can’t imagine what those children, teachers, and parents went through during the tornado and in the aftermath of the tornado. My thoughts and prayers are with all those who were affected. On a positive note, I find it incredibly uplifting to see all the support (emotional and financial) that has come to these people and towns from individuals and corporations.
I found myself in Beantown again earlier this week for work. I figured why not mix a little work with pleasure and was able to see my friend Lisa from college, for dinner on Monday night and again for a quick lunch on Tuesday before I headed to the airport. [Read more…]
Gatehouse Bed and Breakfast
Tommy and I stayed at the Gatehouse Bed & Breakfast in Annapolis this past weekend. It was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. I thought the owners, a husband and wife, were very nice and helpful. The property, a town home, with 5 bedrooms, was beautiful. It was just steps away from the Naval Academy. [Read more…]

Tommy’s former co-worker and friend, Scott, got married on Saturday! This week’s Tuesday Tidbits is dedicated to their beautiful wedding held at Herrington on the Bay along the Chesapeake Bay twenty minutes or so from Annapolis. [Read more…]
Navy Town, here we come!
Before driving to Annapolis on Saturday, I woke up a little earlier than usual to knock out running 6 miles with my friend Katie per my half marathon training plan. We started our run at my place and then headed over to the tidal basin, ran around the tidal basin, run up to the Capitol and then ended back at my place. It felt really good to get the run out-of-the-way and I was very grateful Katie was such a good sport about running so early in the morning! [Read more…]
