My Food Diary #5

Posted on July 25, 2014 Updated on July 25, 2014

Happy Friday!!!  This week flew by and I admit I’ve been lazy yet again taking pictures of my yummy food.  I keep on forgetting to snap a picture before I devour the meal…and then mid way through my shoveling, I’m like crap I forgot to take a picture.  I can’t take a picture of it half eaten or like some scavenger went through the plate.  So I really need to work on my patience and not act like I haven’t eaten in months haha.

These were our meals when we were at the Hamilton in DC for the concert.  My husband got a Grass Fed Burger, topped with a runny, fried egg, and Vermont cheddar.  I got the House Made Pastrami sandwich that had mustard, coleslaw, and swiss cheese all inside a delicious onion poppy roll.  I honestly couldn’t finish the sandwich – it was really filling and large, but oh so delicious.  The french fries, though, I finished because they were so amazing!  To wash it down, I had a couple ice cold glasses of Guinness, my favorite beer! (I swear I think I was Irish in a past life).

The other day I made one of our “lazy” meals that look and taste amazing.  All it is is sauteed vegetables (you can add hot italian sausage), fresh egg noodles, pesto, hot pepper flakes, and freshly grated parmesan cheese!  So delicious and nutritious, and great for lunch the next day!

My boss had his birthday earlier this week and his assistant got him and the whole lab Georgetown cupcakes.  Now if you haven’t been to Georgetown or know of Georgetown cupcakes, it’s a little bakery on M street downtown and the line is always out the door and goes down the street, rain or shine!  I’ve lived in the MD/DC/VA area my whole life and I now work at GU and I’ve never tried their cupcakes (shame on me, I know).  The lines were always ridiculous and I was like…these people are standing here this long just for a cupcake?!  Well….now I know guys, these cupcakes are amazing.  I don’t even know what flavor this was, but it was a chocolate cake, which was so moist and soft, and then topped with….some sort of icing, but it’s not icing, and it’s not buttercream.  It was so soft and amazing and not like any other icing/buttercream/cupcake topping I’ve ever tasted…I really can’t describe it.  You can sort of see in the 2nd picture how the icing is falling off the cake.  It was like a mix between a cream cheese/buttercream icing I guess?

What I really loved was that the cupcake wasn’t overly sweet – I’m not really a big fan of cupcakes, but this (oh my god) was so delicious.  Now I know why there’s a huge hype and why people wait hours in line!!  I need to go there now haha 🙂

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this quick food post!  Happy Friday again and hope everyone had a good week and has fun during the weekend!  I’m traveling to see my sister and her family up in NYC!

Until next time,
