Food & DINK

DINK couple living outside #DC. Writing about #food inspired #travel, #restaurants, and #recipes. Humorous & irreverent, this isn’t your average travel site.

Just had dinner at the home of one of my wife’s former colleagues and literally everyone in her home was full on sick, and they didn’t remotely bother to give us a heads-up. Even before COVID, this would be rude as shit. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with people?

Will be training up to New York for this at my earliest opportunity! https://t.co/qYRpItXsAD

Americans have terrible taste. Mystery solved.

Last night, I got to meet one of my all-time favorite people, @PhilRosenthal. I was just a bit excited, as you can tell by this crazy look on my face.

Richmond tomorrow! Because I always over-indulge to the point of wanting to die when I visit Richmond, I spent this weekend…over-indulging to the point where I want to die. For practice!

Damn, I love the first sweater day!

Two months in, Italian is still super hard, but I’m slowly getting better. I think by the time we go next year I won’t make a complete fool of myself.

I really wish I could be one of those people who are really good at learning foreign languages. I’m really trying to learn Italian, and that shit is not coming easily!

This place is less than 5 minutes from where we used to live, but of course, it’s about 45 minutes from where we currently live. Cruel, cruel world. https://t.co/QoPvBaBika

Seems like a perfect day to sit outside and get drunk and make ribs.

Found out today that the Reston pools have days that are adults only. Total fucking game changer!

But the rice was the sleeper. Carrot, poblano, onion steeped in chicken stock with garlic and butter. It’s so creamy and delish.

The new cookbook by Rick Martinez, Mi Cocina, is absolute perfection. Today we made Pork Morisqueta with a delicious rice and homemade corn tortillas. One of the most satisfying meals in recent memory.

[Food & DINK @FoodAndDINK]

The pork shoulder was braised for 2.5 hours with chicken stock, fire roasted tomato’s, and chilis. The resulting sauce was beautifully deep with flavor!

I just read this fantastic piece and all I can think about now is how much I want a damn cheesesteak! I think I’m sick in the head. https://t.co/qv63Zmmxpk

Tonight we decided to make a homemade Mexican feast! Homemade corn tortillas, tomatillo and chile de arbol salsa, and fish with a guajillo/chile/citrus sauce.

[Food & DINK @FoodAndDINK]

Got super excited when I learned that the neighbors I can’t stand are putting their house on the market next week!

[Food & DINK @FoodAndDINK]

Thinking of changing taco Tuesday to tapas Tuesday.

We’re steadily making our way through every restaurant in #Reston, and tonight’s stop was @BarcelonaWineBa. It’s our favorite spot so far!
