so... i am obsessed with the washington post food critic's weekly chat, especially after i submitted a question and a month later, it was published in the express!

now, more dc food gossip: here.

favorite dc restaurant as of late: ROSA MEXICANO. technically it is a chain, but that is because it is so good. Oh, and I love Fogo de Chao, although I think it made me sick on my b-day on Friday (everyone else felt sick too).

in other news, my best friend from when we 11 through 19 randomly contacted me today... it had been years. i sat on a blanket out in the grass and we talked on the phone for two and a half hours. so much fun to reconnect and discover that at the core, we have not changed.
