The Anti-Diet Foodie
On Thursday, I finished my last day of work at the law firm I’ve worked at for over four years. This was in preparation for my big move to Boston to start grad school. I’m just starting to adjust to life outside this law firm. Four years is a long time to be in a…

Summer may be my least favorite season. I enjoy many the summer activities, and especially summer food. In theory I would like summer, but I absolutely hate being hot.

This torta rustica involves spinach, chard, and dandelion greens, and of course a healthy amount of ricotta. Chris’s pie turned out just as good (if not even better) as the first time. He was able to…

For the last few years, I have heard my friend, Anthony, talk about how good this sushi restaurant is in Baltimore, Shoyou Sushi I was a total skeptic. I just couldn’t imagine how any sushi could possibly be worth driving all the way to Baltimore when there are so many amazing restaurants in DC. I…

This weekend was Mother’s Day weekend. I was lucky enough to get to see my mom this year, as she and my dad came to visit me. They were back home for actual Mother’s Day, but we got to spend a nice Friday and Saturday together. I always want to show my family some good…

Sunday family dinner with Chris and Andrew has become one of my favorite food traditions. I need to savor ever dinner I can before I move to Boston, though I hope we can carry on the tradition over Facetime now and again. This past Sunday, Andrew was out of town for work…funnily enough in Boston.…
