mi familia came to visit on friday night! dad brought jen and lizzie up and aj met us at the train station. house tour and party in the back room, then dinner at a greek restaurant, a 5 minute walk from my house. TH met us halfway through dinner, and we all shared kebabs, hummus, pita, and baklava. and i had a delicious crispy sea bass. yum!
then as if we didn't already feel stuffed, TH and i went to see julie and julia, and now just like everyone else, i want to move to paris and cook for a few years. i need to get my hands on a copy of mastering the art of french cooking. i also need to find out which dish in life i want to be known for. you know, like dad is known for biscuits and gravy. mom is known for chicken tetrazini. jenny is known for frozen hamburgers and ketchup. (jenny - i kid, i kid!).
but really - i want a signature dish. right now i'd have to say it's dominos pizza. womp womp. maybe i'll get good at veg chili? or a soufle? or quiche? what have you perfected in your kitchen - what's your siggy?
(saturday saw an opera in the ballpark with some lovelies, and sunday lunch at founding farmers for TH's birthday, then a drive through southwest DC - a place TH and i wouldn't mind moving to...)

boo, i really wish that we had ended up going to the opera. we spent the better half of the afternoon moving a bookcase (i feel dumb even saying that) and were so tired when we got home... blah.
as far as signature dishes go, i need a better one than chicken enchiladas. robbie is a much fancier chef than i. i'm so jealous of him.
Moving to? As in, together? ;)
Last night I hosted a dinner party for 8 (eight!) and made this Caribbean beans and sweet potatoes recipe I'm fond of and like to think I've mastered.
I save my good dishes for GOOD company. Poopoo platter anyone?
Hey, did you check this place out based on my recommendation on your anti-CC rant?!?! Seeeeeee, I told you it was good. ;-)
