I don’t know what is going on with WordPress, but my photos aren’t centered and it’s driving me nuts. So my apologizes while the photos are all to the left.
When WordPress fixes whatever is going on, I’ll make the appropriate changes to the postings.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve made a few updates to some old posts.
So’s Your Mom post has photos of their menu
Mixtec has their menu posted as well
Nam-Viet/Pho 79 has new food photos and their menu
RedRocks Pizzeria has photos of their restuarant and patio
I have also bought an ice cream/yogurt/sorbet machine so I’ll be posting a few [...]

In the five years that I’ve lived in DC, it seems Pot Belly has taken over the town. Yes, I know, it’s a bit like a chain…but it’s sometimes incredibly convenient/easy for me to go sometimes when it’s late at the office and grab dinner.
Food: I’ve ordered a lot of food at Pot Belly, but my [...]
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged musical instruments made out of vegetables on May 8, 2008 | No Comments »
This guy from Japan makes musical instruments from fruits and vegetables. And I watched three of his videos. Seriously? I can tell you his carrot flute and apple ocarina sounds pretty good. His cucumber trumpet, not so good. After watching three videos, I was embarrassed to watch any more. If you want to learn how to [...]

**Update 5/8 — Bummer, rumor has it that the Dove ads aren’t as “natural” as originally thought. Apparently, they’ve been Photoshopped.**
Wow ladies, according to this story, 65% of women are disorder eaters. Apparently, if you’re a carb-avoider, skipping meals, etc — you’re included in the bunch.
I think our culture is “too” into carbs so I get [...]

”I Love Lucy” has never been my favorite show, but I have always loved this clip.

OK, I know I’m probably a little crabby from working 17 hours yesterday, but there’s something that’s been bugging me for a few months now.
I will no longer post the pitches from PR people (or anyone else) who choose to write in the comments section instead of emailing me. That’s a pain. And seriously folks, [...]

Last night, I was baking a few items for a colleague/friend. And when I went to crack an egg, there was a vein and the egg was all bloody.
I completely freaked and of course, the rest of the evening when I’m cracking eggs, I’m convinced there’s going to be another bloody egg.
Ugh, so gross. Has [...]

Have you noticed that I’ve been making some additions to the blog? Specifically, I’ve been posting menus from restaurants around the city. And the ones whose menus aren’t available online (or are severely out-dated), I’ve been posting to my blog postings.
Some additions include:
City Place Cafe
Vapiano
Rumi Restaurant
Capitol Grounds
Five Guys
Keep an eye out for your favorite [...]

I started this blog in October 2007 to write a few thoughts on restaurants and recipes for a few friends. It’s grown beyond my expectations — and has been a blast.
It’s also been a bit time consuming so I decided to make a change to my restaurant critiques moving forward. Basically, you’ll see in the [...]

I know I’ve talked about being a vegetarian in the past, but this is a perfect example of why I’m not anymore. Who can resist a juicy NY Strip?
Well, I can’t.
In September, The Wall Street Journal (and it’s free to read) wrote a story (and gave a great recipe) for the perfect medium-rare steak. I tried it [...]

Posted in tips, tagged 1 packet of yeast equivalent, baking cooking conversion tool on December 24, 2007 | No Comments »
Yeah, I can’t do that. Math was never my strong subject.
Thankfully, I don’t have to convert anything in my head anymore — here’s a great conversion tool that you should bookmark.
Also, if you’re like me and buy your yeast in a jar (though I’m starting to reconsider since it does lose some “rising” qualities the older the jar gets…even when it’s [...]

When I fly, it’s almost always out of National. As I’ve lived in DC for several years now, I’ve seen a great improvement in dining options at National. For example, they have Five Guys there now!
If you’re traveling to or from any one of these airports (or Amtrak), click on their three letter code to [...]

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged DC cabs, washington dc travel, zone cab fare on October 17, 2007 | 1 Comment »
OK, I know this is supposed to be a food blog, but I felt the need to comment on a Mayor Fenty’s decision to switch to the time-and-distance meters for cabs.
This is instead of the antiquated zone system (that I am convinced no one, including cabbies, understood). I have been in several cabs when I’ve [...]

Welcome to WhereInDC, a blog about restaurants and food in the Washington, DC area. I thought I’d start this blog for my friends who seem to call, IM, or email me to ask, “Where in DC can I take [fill-in-the-blank] for breakfast/lunch/dinner/happy hour/coffee that has [fill-in-the-blank].” It’s a tough question because if you’re on a date, you’ll [...]
