10:00 am - 2:45 PM Class at the Millennium Challenge Corporation (where they claimed they had invented development principles utilized by the Inter-American Foundation for 50 years) and at the Barlow Center.
2:45 - 4:00 PM Menu planning/shopping at Trader Joe's. We are going to have some delicious food this week!
4:00 - 6:00 PM Read the newspaper, did the dishes, tried to do a crossword puzzle, made cookie dough for the ward munch and mingle on Sunday (for which we are decidedly excited. Our ward makes the best food in the world). The weather outside was frightful, so we stayed in for the afternoon.
6:00 - 6:35 PM Tried to decide where we wanted to go for dinner. I was craving some Fat Jack's cheese sticks, but DC boasts nothing of the sort. We ended up deciding on a place called Pete's New Haven Apizza (yes, there is an "a" at the beginning of pizza). It was the closest option to a metro stop AND the "New Haven" part of the name endeared the place to someone I know from Connecticut. We also enlisted our neighbors, Brittney and John, for the trip.
6:45 - 7:45 PM We traveled to Columbia Heights (one train transfer) and waited for a table at Pete's. It's apparently a very hoppin' place on Friday nights. On the way, we also saw some hooligans get arrested on the metro.
7:45 - 8:45 PM Enjoyed the tastiest pizza this side of the Mississippi. We ordered the Nighthawk, which consists of basil pesto, grilled chicken, carmelized onions, and mushrooms. Yum. Jason also had tasty soup (but he can't remember what kind it was) and I started off with a really good salad.
8:45 - 9:15 PM Hit Giant Supermarket for some of our grocery needs; Trader Joe's does not carry chopped green chiles. Don't worry: we stocked up.
We got home around 10:00 PM and watched a couple episodes of The West Wing before turning in. It was a very nice day.
Enjoyed this post....I was sad when I went to bed without a new one to read. Did Jason make any comments or ask any questions during the presentation? And that pizza sounds delicious!!!
