I have been on a bit of a blog break, which should not be confused with an eating break. They are not the same thing. For the past two weekends, rather than devote hours to writing, I have instead been glued to seasons three and four of “Parks and Recreation. ” I don’t know how […]
Is Elisir my elixir to the summertime blues? (closed)
August 27, 2012 · by · Leave a Comment
The two year anniversary of my blog came and went, and I didn’t even realize it until two weeks later. I updated my Facebook status as a way to commemorate the day and moved on. This is in contrast to my one year blogiversary, when I excitedly reviewed all of my accomplishments throughout the year. […]
Al Dente Ristorante: Adding up the pros and cons
July 9, 2012 · by · 1 Comment
Not everyone pays attention to food news like I do. But I’m guessing that most people in the DC area recognize the name Roberto Donna.

Elizabeth’s Gone Raw: Going Nuts
May 4, 2012 · by · Leave a Comment
I have to be honest. I had some trepidation about a $75 per person dinner made entirely of raw food. Despite the fact that I’ve read some great things about Elizabeth’s Gone Raw, I can’t help but wonder… how good can it be? Is there such a thing as food that is too healthy? And […]
Mintwood Place is a smash hit. The TV show …maybe not so much

Rent, Wicked, The Producers, Book of Mormon, Aida, and Les Miserables are some of my favorites musicals. Next to a good restaurant meal, there is nothing quite like a good Broadway show to get my heart pumping. I’m also a fan of Glee (although it may be jumping the shark). So when I heard that another […]
