It’s restaurant week again in Washington, DC – a great opportunity to try out some of the area’s best restaurants at slightly more affordable prices. Stephanie made two picks for us this year, the first taking us to Vidalia for a really great dinner. It was a nicer place than we’d ever probably go to on our own, but we made sure to be on our best behavior. Highly recommended for special occasions. Our second of two reservations is on Sunday the 17th for lunch at Oyamel, which features the “current urban cuisine” of Mexico City. We’ll see how that goes.

Have you been to a game at the new Nationals Park yet? It’s really nice. Thanks to Drew for a fun Memorial Day!

We finally have new counter tops! I wish I could say everything went smoothly but, well, it didn’t. All part of the “joys of home ownership”, I suppose. At least it’s [mostly] finished. Check out the before and after shots; you can see I still have some touch-up work to do, but we’re so happy with how it all turned out!

I’m not going to turn this into a recipe blog, but several people have asked us about our Famous Grilled Pizza™. It’s one of our absolute favs, and now the secret is out: we got the basis for the recipe from foodnetwork.com. We stray with the toppings since that’s a personal preference, but follow it pretty closely for the dough. When it gets to grill time, I’ve had the best results by preheating as much as possible, then lowering the heat to just under medium (roughly 300°). And don’t be stingy with the oil. Enjoy!

We’re back from a mini vacation/spring break in Atlanta! We spent the past few days there visiting friends, ogling tornado damage, and hitting some of the big tourist spots including the World of Coca-Cola, the Georgia Aquarium, and the High Museum. Sadly, Coke was an overpriced letdown and the Aquarium was an overpriced madhouse. The High was decent enough, but after we’ve spent so much time in the Smithsonian, it just didn’t compare. We had fun overall, though – now it’s back to the post-vacation grind!
