    Do you sometimes feel out of place in fancy restaurants?

    I enjoy very good dinner, but sometimes I feel like a fish out of water. I feel silly ordering a menu that is written entirely in Italian or French. A little over a game and pretend to know what I'm asking and then hide my surprise when I bring my food. They also hate having to try the wine. What is the point of that? Anyone has ever returned a bottle of wine after the test? Each also appears in these restaurants twice my age. Do you feel the same elegant joints?

    2120 Wyoming in Kalorama: Perfect for a Couple – askmissa.com
    07/28/2009
      I recently toured 2120 Wyoming Avenue, NW #1 with Shawn Breck of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. This home is amazing and would be perfect for a couple whose children are grown, or who plan to have a baby in a few years, or those who don’t have any babies in their future. This two-bedroom two and one-half bath condominium offers 2,200 sq/ft. of professionally and artfully planned living space.      New in 2006, this boutique property affords a private elevator opening directly into unit, security system with security camera monitor for buliding interior and exterior areas, and private parking for two vehicles.

    by C.J.S. Hayward Introduction Do children and adults understand each other? To some degree, and if many adults have lost touch with childhood, there are some who understand childhood very well. But when I was a child, I wanted to write a book about things adults don’t understand about children. (I have since forgotten with what I wanted to write.) There is a gulf. A father can read a Calvin and Hobbes strip, and his little girl can ask what’s funny, and the father is in a pickle.
    The W Hotel – Washington, DC – dccityblog.com
    07/28/2009
    I had been hearing a lot about the new W launched this Summer in DC so this past weekend I decided to head downtown and check it out with a group of friends.  In general, I’m a big fan of Starwood Hotels so had high expectations walking in, tempered slightly by some of the stories I had heard from friends who had trouble getting in.  Thankfully, we didn’t have any issues at the door and I was more than impressed with the overall experience of the venue.
    Inspired Summer Parties {Food & Wine Mag} – lolalina.com
    07/28/2009
    I came across a feature in the August issue of Food & Wine magazine that I really enjoyed, and I wanted to share it with you in case you missed it. Usually, when food mags show “easy entertaining ideas” I can’t help but roll my eyes a bit. Do you know what I mean? I love looking at articles showing elaborate spreads that take days and days to make from scratch, but in reality those recipes just end up in my recycling bin. However. There is an article in Food & Wine crammed full of creative summer parties.
    A Vegan Twist on Tapas, Featuring Gazpacho! – veggie-terrain.blogspot.com
    07/28/2009
    Anyone familiar with traditional Spanish tapas can attest to the fact that the phrase “vegan tapas” is almost an oxymoron. Which means, of course, that tapas are exactly what CH was in the mood for on his b-day a few weeks ago! (Not vegan tapas, per se , but I digress…) As a result, when I decided to make him a delicious spread of vegan tapas for dinner, I felt like I was grasping at straws. So, I kept racking my brain for ideas based upon the food that we encountered in Spain years ago.

    Now, everything about this wine is big. A comes in a big, heavy bottle, the wine itself it fairly big and it has some big, French names on the front label: Lurton and Rolland. I know a little about Mr. Rolland’s winemaking, but I’ve not knowingly had one of his wines… Of course I’ve seen the movie, read the comments in articles and forums etc. Industrial and lacking soul I’ve heard, I’ve also heard that many of his wines are fantastic.

But if you’re at the shore in the summertime, you could use blackfish, bluefish, monkfish or grouper fillet—basically any fish that’s thick enough to stand up to grilling. (No endangered species like bluefin tuna, please.) Preheat the grill. Create a hot side and a cooler side so you can shift the fish around to different spots as you’re grilling.

Yes, more and more people are depending on their peers for wine reviews; however, once they hit that supermarket shelf, they’re still wowed by numbers and medals. Another endorsement, beyond their own friends, still has a way of sealing the deal. Most people still don’t want to purchase something as a gamble, most especially on higher priced ticket items.

In order to minimize cutbacks libraries need to play to their strengths and promote how much value they offer to anyone who chooses to use them.

Which is weird. Like this morning I was preparing to do this and saw that one of the next in the list was “malkin.” I know what that means. Further, its meaning was contextually evident. It was Countess Groan, and she was talking to her cats, and malkin is a synonym for cat.

If you like the Belgian Hoegaarden , you’re bound to like this. It even has the same flavouring ingredients, such as coriander seed and orange peel. I first tried this brew at the new KPO Cafe Bar within the Killiney Post Office building (they have it on tap), when a business acquaintance of mine was back in town from New York and a few of us decided catch up there.

The music that RFD creates might not be for Top 40 radio but that is not important here. What is important is Requiem for Delinquency is about creating music that is created on his own terms.

    Purchase Dry White Wine at Auction – beerwineliquor.info
    07/28/2009
    Dry White wine is a quality wine and one of my preferred wines. As you know, the price of Dry White wine varies considerably depending on things like the variety and vintage and for sure, plenty of other factors, but luckily you are able to easily get low priced bottles for regular drinking. One of the best ways to get Dry White wine is to buy at auction. This means, you could pick from a greater variety than what you could buy at your local supermarket, plus you have the convenience of purchasing online and having the bottles of wine posted to your home or office.

    The French may make great wine, but I have yet to see any evidence they can make a decent zombie movie. The best thing that can be said for Jean Rollin’s The Grapes of Death is that it is much better than his other undead attempt, Zombie Lake . Considering Zombie Lake is one of the worst films ever, that’s the very definition of damnation by faint praise. The other thing that can be said for it is Brigitte Lahaie naked. Of course, the woman made porn, so it’s not like this is your best chance to see that.

    Today was not a good camera day. I was not really up for it for starters and second it poured half the day. Maybe I’m a nightowl when it comes to photos? Somehow the day ended better than it started, photowise. Since I met this really sweet, funny and cool Swiss flight crew at the hotel lobby I haven’t had one single boring moment. They invited me to tag along and from being solo I suddenly had a temporary family of 8. So back to the clichés.

    Daily Dose opened in October 2008 and has quickly become a local hotspot with its stylish yet down-to-earth atmosphere and accessible American comfort food. The restaurant serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner and is owned by Matt and JenLyn Long of nearby Fusion Restaurant & Lounge. The Hangover sandwich is one of the menu highlights with applewood-smoked bacon, turkey sausage and caramelized jalapeño and onion between thick slices of sourdough toast.

    J. Darius Bikoff J. Darius Bikoff went to the market one day and was sorely unimpressed with the selection of water available.

    Well, as predicted, I forgot to take good pictures of my dinner party. I have a couple, which I may post later … As I said in my last post, for my birthday I decided what I wanted most was to have a traditional seven-course meal and invite some of my closest friends to partake. I ambitiously invited fifteen people, twelve of whom were able to attend–well, eleven really. Natalie was sick. Beginning last Wednesday, I started shopping for the event.
