2011 in review

top 5 moments in this transient life

smart people that take happy hour seriously. 

3. moving to DC and finding my place

1. becoming more independent 

pushed myself and hey, i think there was some personal growth. 

cheers to 2012 - to small victories and big moves!!!

put a fried egg on it

(burger shake and tap’s six buck chuck)

located near work, big portion to satisfy most appetites, fries are forgettable, burger is way drippy. tasty, but i’m shack shack 4ever. 

(lovely jamison ankle boot by dolce vita)

(lunch salad done RIGHT. i mean, only when you add fried risotto balls)

lucky me

the change of summer into fall was very apparent this past week though i don’t think the weather has made up its mind yet. cool nights and some warm days are tripping up my fashion decisions. one thing to look forward to: hot soup and chunky sweaters. 

some documentation as of late. sometimes i forget that i’m such a lucky girl: lots of concerts and food adventures all wrapped up into one.

hot day, cold beers

pre-concert treats: wasabi pea rolled sushi and garden of eden at sticky rice

sideways concert pic of neon indian at rock n roll hotel, probably the coolest place in dc

first time visiting san fran and of course the trip consisted of much eating. gotta say, west coast stylee is more my style. washington is a bit too buttoned up for me. where else can you find chewbacca and a pop-up dubstep concert in the park? certainly not in our nation’s capital. 

for now, it’ll do, but as i’ve said before, i’m leading quite the transient lifestyle.

yah yah, i went and you know what? not that impressed.

best grilled cheese of my life.

toxic scorpion bowl at a tikki dive bar. didn’t work out so well for my friend.

eating like a boss in downtown sonoma valley post wine tasting. polenta, yum.

this tastes as good as it looks. beef tamale via ferry plaza farmers market

food adventures as of late + okgo and lots of confetti

dinner for one

sangria and jazz in the (sculpture) garden

goodies after DC pride parade. these were thrown at me by half-naked men and queens

sakana japanese restaraunt. unassuming entrance, excellent sushi

fiola restaurant. (not pictured: the best dessert of my life, zuppa inglese)

ok go turningthe kennedy center hip as shit

probs obvious that instagram is my favorite.

new york, new york

a return trip was much needed. probably will be back again soon.
