Is the butter still in the fridge? Cause that's a different topic.

You have to remind me how old I'm getting?

Godfather, Part 2? Seriously, though - looking forward to being jealous of all the stuff you harvest, can, jar, pack, mail, eat, etc.

Unless the resident is the president, like the one on House of Cards.

This one just got bought. Ebay.

And since Rafa mentions sherry - there's always a classic Bamboo. Makes you think you're drinking a grown-up cocktail. Here's the recipe from Kindred Cocktails.

The Americano Bolognese. Nu Lounge Bar, Bologna, Italy. 40 ml Rosso Antico 40 ml Martini Bitter 1 dash Angostura BItters or Rhubarb Bitters 40 ml Tonic Water Orange twist Lemon twist Shake Rosso Antico, Martini Bitter, Angostura/Rhubarb bitters & lemon twist with ice. Pour un-strained into old fashioned glass. Add the tonic and orange twist.

How about the Snakebite? 1/2 dry cider 1/2 lager Of course, this drink can seemingly go off in many directions.

I'll start. Rome With a View. Created by Michael McIlroy at Attaboy. 1 oz. Campari 1 oz. Dry Vermouth 1 oz. Lime juice 3/4 oz. Simple Soda Water Orange wheel Shaken with ice. Strained over ice. Topped w/sparkling water. Orange wheel.

I'm surprised rotuts hasn't offered that the reason the bread toasts so wonderfully is actually the Steam Girl!! Safe travels.

Some of the pictures look good, but man, that is a neighborhood that is not high on one to visit, if the OP is only in DC as a tourist for a short time.

Perhaps you can learn something by reading this thread right here on eGullet!

You might notice a few differences in this shot, taken a few minutes ago, with my phone...

I actually prefer to stir like this: Just ask Gary Regan.

Kenta Goto, formerly head bartender at Pegu Club, has opened a Japanese-style cocktail bar, with izakaya-style snacks. At least that's what all the pundits are calling it. We've been only once (hey, it just opened this week), but I am sure to be back many time, A gorgeously redecorated space, with Kenta's cocktails, and some tasty food. What could be bad? Here's my take, on Tasty Travails.

Agree on the National Museum of the American Indian. It's a super fun place, with good food to boot. Cheap, also.

I think your best all-around spot for barbecue, in a tourist area, coming in at under $100 per couple, will be Hill Country. The brisket can be very good - ask for fatty!

And when it's bad, it's... Kidding - I still like the once in a while meal at Nom Wah, just not for weekend brunch. I would've recommended Maialino and R & D as well. Then again, I'm not a brunch person.

In the district itself, I've always had good luck at places like Estadio and Jaleo. Once you get into the suburbs, the restaurant scene changes dramatically, and you can find some fine Vietnamese, Chinese, and other se Asian places. Of course, there's Little Serow in the district, usually involves some waiting around.

There really aren't any "best" ribs in DC. This place does a fair job...The Tender Rib. Tim Carman ranks bbq here. Older, from DCist. There's also Hogs on the Hill - I've gotten lucky there once in a while.

This is good and timely. My wife and I will be visiting Madrid for the first time this fall. I'm hoping to go to DiverXO, but at this point in time, it doesn't appear as if they'll be open the week we're there. What's the word on D-STAgE? And coincidentally, the NY Times just did a little piece on Madrid in this week's Travel section... Travel Tips for Madrid

Beans and Grains!

Ooooh, ooooh, I see one!

Carvel.

How about just compressing them a bit more? I made burgers for 100 people yesterday, and not a single one fell apart, nor were they too compressed.
