$20.10, while the same style
dinner is $30.10.

i think i will stay in and microwave a potato.

first snowfall!!

we had the first snow fall of the season yesterday: not a fan!

it did not dampen the spirits of holiday shoppers at the downtown holiday market, however.

today is supposed to be much nicer:

please come visit!

Capital Harvest on the Plaza

washington dc is suddenly thick with farmer's markets: i blame it on the obama administration. another one rears its delicious head today 1-5 on woodrow wilson plaza @ 13th and pennsylvania avenue, nw . capital harvest on the plaza will host 18 local farmers who will be selling their stuff and cooking demos from the chefs at equinox and ps7. sounds yummy.

tgiff!

hey, yo: it's friday, people! it has been a busy week here in the nation's capitol...let's take a few moments to stop, drop and roll! nothing is more beautiful (not even paris: sorry, sister!) then the national monuments at night, so join a guided bike tour with sites@nite starting at the old post office pavilion @ 6:30, and leisurely peddle from site to site. they provide everything for about $35 a person. my word of warning DO NOT stop up the street at zola's for their happy hour prior to the ride!

dc rollergirls

my friend dawn wanted to be a rollergirl, but then she decided she liked her teeth a lot. the dc rollergirls are super tough and they are headed to the regionals in north carolina! the battle, also called "wicked wheels of the east", begins friday september 11-13.

great wall of graffiti

i spotted this great wall in an alley on capitol hill as jimmy and i left lola's the other day.

a day in the city: lunch at lola's

wow... the weather dropped to the mid-70's here in washington dc..wtf? that is 10 degrees below normal!!! anywho, it provided a great opportunity to take oto downtown to meet peanut...and have lunch! we ate at lola's: so great!!! the food was super delicious and they let the dogs hang out on the back patio with a huge bowl of icewater: sooo delicious and dog-tastic!
