Happy 2007!!
I am finally back from an extended holiday blog break. I had a lovely Christmas with my family, and I got to spend plenty of quality time with Nick. We celebrated the New Year together at Tabaq Bistro on U Street. Nick and I sat on their rooftop terrace and enjoyed a beautiful 6-course meal, complete with a champagne toast and loud party favors! As the ball dropped, confetti flew everywhere! It was a lot of fun! Sadly the holidays are over now, and Nick is back in California. :’(
On Saturday afternoon after Nick’s departure, I decided last-minute to go to Atlantic 
City with my mother, a couple of aunts and uncles, and a few cousins. On the way up to Atlantic City, we made a stop in Philly’s Chinatown and had dinner at this incredibly cheap Chinese restaurant—our bill (for the 10 of us) was $64! And believe me, we ordered a quite a number of dishes. Maybe the owners got confuse when pricing their menu items? I say this because they certainly got a little confused when writing out the headings for their entrées. Example: “Hot Rice Entries” (see photo).
Because this was a busy holiday year for many of us, the girls and I decided to have our holiday dinner
after the holidays. So on Sunday afternoon, after coming home from Atlantic City, I set off to the grocery store to buy ingredients for my BLT Pasta Bake. Dinner was at Katherine and Greg’s place at 7 o’clock. On the menu along with my pasta, there was: Katherine’s butternut squash soup (my favorite!!), Caesar salad, asparagus risotto (Kim’s specialty! Haha), mashed sweet potatoes, roasted chicken, and warm cherry pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert! So yummy! Everything was almost perfect. The only thing missing was Roman, who wasn’t able to make it. :-( Here Roman, I posted a picture of the food for you…
Since Roman couldn’t attend our holiday dinner last Sunday, we decided to all get together for lunch this Sunday at Mie N Yu in Georgetown for Washington DC's Restaurant Week. Restaurant Week is going on right now, and the last day is actually this Sunday. So if you’re free, you should definitely make reservations and try someplace new! It’ll be a great way to start off the New Year!
