Lately

I had a terrible week a few weeks ago with a planned tripped being postponed and drama at work. The night before I was supposed to leave, finally, Andy and I celebrated with a trip to Quinn's in Capitol Hill. I had a giant martini and all was well with the world. Andy tried the bone marrow and boar meatball sliders. I finished up my meal with the burger, medium rare. All very tasty.

Next, Andy's work took him out of town where he had some terrible meals, and when I went to pick him up from the airport, he was ready for something good. Cafe Presse was our answer. It was like being in a Paris cafe, without the weak dollar. I had the duck and Andy had the croque madame. All good and simple. We'll be back.

There's more of course. We've been cooking a lot and I just ordered the Lee Brother's Southern Cookbook. Can't wait to look through it. Also, we have been on the lookout for anything from the Time-Life "Good Cook" series that was put out in the 80's. Richard Olney and great recipes. So far we have two but are looking for more!
