Ouch, it's been a week since my last post! Things got a bit hectic, so I'll try to make up for it this week.
I missed Friday's post due to work travel in Virginia. It snowed overnight, and the dusting was beautiful--nothing compare to yours, K, but a good showing for the south. Driving home on Friday afternoon I passed beautiful hills, farms, and cattle ranches.
Typical of the area, I stopped into a convenience store and was greeted by a wall of chewing tobacco. Gross, but fascinating. Who knew there are so many varieties to choose from?
I took part of Saturday to work on my journals, and completed my scrapbook for Singapore! The remaining piece is the title page. I also bundled up under blankets to sit on my balcony, enjoy the sun and keep writing my Doha journal. I've fallen behind schedule and am trying desperately to catch up.
This past week was restaurant week in DC, and I went to Mintwood Place with friends to sample their food. I started with Beef Heart salad that included a poached egg nestled in the lettuce, parsnips, and slender cruotons. Then a five-grain risotto with squash and broccolini. The coup was dessert: baked Alaska they fired at the table. Every patron whipped out their camera for this piece.

I went to the Martin Luther King library to pick up a few new reads. After Cleopatra I'll be starting on Sacre Bleu, with Sherlock Holmes if I need a breather.
