With so many things on a do-to list, sometimes it's hard to just go and enjoy the city where you live! JM and I love living in DC, but we have to make a conscious effort to enjoy it and not be just stuck in our own little world of getting tasks accomplished.
So in a valiant effort to do just that and to catch up with friends, last night we met up with AC & Derrick to enjoy dinner at 2 Amy's. Amy studied pizza making in Italy (although, isn't pizza technically considered a US food?). Anyway, it paid off in that this smaller restaurant is always busy. That and a great wine/beer list and it makes for a great evening out without having a hefty price tag.
After dinner, we were feeling adventurous and decided to enjoy dessert somewhere different. Across the street is a new wine place that has just opened, Enology (which as the waiter explained is the study of wine). The menus were huge and a bit overwhelming until our faithful server explained that the whole restaurant is American wines and liquor with some food such as cheese and chocolate to enhance the flavors of the wine. Funny enough, he also apologized that Tequila was not on the menu...apparently, it is still 100% made in Mexico. Since we were there to indulge in dessert, we ordered chocolate which was handmade by J. Chocolatier. It was amazing! The handmade truffles, about the size of a marble, were by no means inexpensive, but today I am already researching on the internet where I can get ahold of the coconut-lime, green tea and caramel delicacies! Anyway, it is always so fun to get out and explore where you live. Thankfully, last night was filled with good food and good friends.
