Goals for 2015

Johanna, number 1 daughter, and I have a goal to dine at one exceptional restaurant a month, alternating between the five star and $$$$ with plain old good eats!

Will post monthly results. Stay tuned:-)

the Gangs All Here!

Passover Easter Weekend

Great Weekend. Bob Bob and Nana got to play with Laszlo while Josh and Lisa prepared for Jon and Rose's visit from Santa Rosa. The weather was perfect and a good time was had by all.

Laszlo and Bob Bob decorate Easter Eggs.

After decorating the eggs, Laszlo and Uncle Neil go outside to hit a few golf balls, but the event turns into Laszlo assuming the slapshot position and turning it into a hockey event.

Aunt JoJo arrives and dinner with lamb, veggies, and cupcakes begins!

Laszlo, Lisa and Josh bid a farewell.


Sunday, Nana chilled out to watch the Nationals win, and the Masters which was terrific, with the lead changing every three holes, but a final win by UGA's Bubba Watson. A good ending to a mellow weekend.

dc good eats

When I first came to DC permanently in 1972 the whole town was a foodie's nightmare. But in 1976 we went overseas for seven years, during which time there was an influx of immigrants from Asia and Africa that changed the way Washingtonians would eat. In addition, the art life has grown tremendously with all sorts of theater choices especially for those who are allergic to going to the Kennedy Center as I am. There's vibrant "new" neighborhoods, including the H St. Corridor that has both theater and great food. I went to Smith commons with a colleague --it was her second trip and she wanted to see if it was as good the second time around. It was. I had a burger that could have rivaled Spike's Good Stuff Eatery, my current favorite burger joint. She had the chickpea ravioli with a coconut curry sauce that was outta sight! Will take JoJo there with my camera just to make sure :-)
