Valentine’s Day was this week. I was too busy to do much of anything, but my gift to myself was to get in five miles of aerobic exercise on Thursday after work. I’ve been so stressed with work and life that it can feel hard to take the time to do things to take care…

Miso Brussels Sprouts
I went out to brunch at Pennsylvania 6 DC on Saturday. I was truly impressed with the entire experience from the my steak and eggs to the bottomless mimosa bar.
