Normally I like getting color into my meals – green being the most important, with oranges and reds close behind. This meal had none of that going on. It was predominantly beige. Presentation points – none. I was so short on time in making this meal, that I cooked the rice with everything else. Including frozen corn, orange cherry tomatoes, and (already cooked) chickpeas.

DC: The Capitol & Open City

I wanted to call this post “The Capitol Building Incident” but I thought it sounded a bit too dramatic. After my identity crisis earlier in the trip, I feel like you guys may start to think I’m some kind of magnet for drama. Not the case. After lunch at sweetgreen, we set off to check out the Crime & Punishment museum. Sounds kinda cool, right? Turns out the tickets for admission are $22 per person.

I’m 29

Despite feigning concern about aging, I really don’t care about sharing how old I am. Kyle is younger (and he enjoys reminding me of it), but I am healthy and happy and have enjoyed my 20’s so there’s no reason for me to pretend that adding another candle to my cake is some big stressful occasion.
