Yep, another food blog on the internet!
I don’t often blog about cooking tips or techniques because most of the dishes I make don’t require any special kitchen moves to get the job done. Most of the time, people aren’t standing over your shoulder as you cook, and depending on what you make no one will ever know how adept or clumsy you are. That said, I am now an extremely dangerous man with a chef’s knife.
Olga Berman of Mango & Tomato taught an amazing knife skills class this weekend for …
It’s that time again, the DC Food Bloggers are having their first Happy Hour of 2010 at Againn this Weds, Feb 3rd from 6-8p. Thrifty DC Cook puts it best:
Are you looking for another opportunity to drink specialty beers, eat delicious bar food, and slur recipes to one another? Well here it is.
Attendance is free–of course–but if your RSVP for the food blogger happy hour is in the affirmative, you must leave a comment over at ThriftyDC’s so they’ll have an idea of what kind of …
It still feels weird to open up the browser to write for this blog when the devastation in Haiti continues. Adventures in Shaw wrote about some local venues and restaurants making donations and the Washingtonian has an updated listing of benefit events still taking place.

Happy (Belated) New Year! With the lovely cold snap January in DC brings, I’ve been keeping it pretty simple on the food front.

Still, I wanted more than the standard cereal and coffee this morning for breakfast so I thought I’d dust off the Waffle Iron French Toast recipe for another go.
It’s a simple French Toast recipe, cut back to 1 serving for about 2 slices of bread, scale …
Just some quick shots from a little holiday lunch with friends and co-workers. Matchbox is quickly becoming our go-to restaurant for lunch excursions and it’s well-earned. I was surprised that they hadn’t announced the day’s specials on twitter yet, but when we got there the server told us the special entree was a crab and mushroom mac & cheese–SOLD!
We also shared their shrimp and grits starter which was yummy, their grits were appropriately seasoned and creamy. I might stop back by for brunch …
One thing I’ve been hearing since moving to a city with a–more or less–proper Chinatown is “Where can you go for good dim sum?” And as it was well before my out and about knowledge, I had no idea, but I knew what people were talking about was the classic concept of the on-cart, a la carte dim sum, pointing and ordering on the fly. I’ve been to places in the area that served dim sum in the area, meaning either small plates or many types of dumplings …
