Springtime indulgences


And because I haven't posted in forever, some more things I've been enjoying lately:

- Starbucks' new Pike Place Roast. It's milder than their old house blend, which had a sort of strong burnt taste.
- Oysters, Pinot Grigio, and people-watching at Tony & Joe's on the waterfront in Georgetown.
- Post-work champagne cocktails and calamari at Napoleon
- Long walks around the Kalorama neighborhood, ogling the gorgeous architectural detailing on the embassies and mansions
- Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (especially good to have on hand when Jason's over)
- Cooking "omelettess two ways" (my own invention) for Jason on weekend mornings. One with brie and chives and another with goat cheese and basil.
- Top Chef Chicago
- Cocktails on the patio at Eighteenth Street Lounge
- The days getting longer, the sunshine, the floral bounty of the season in full bloom
- Playing with my new camera
- Quiet evenings with a big mug of Tazo green tea and a good book
