Met my favorite guy at home to join @chefrickmartinez for his virtual winter salsa class. We created a pipián rojo. We served it over thick cut pork chops from @butchersalleyfood with rice and beans and a dry white wine from Spain. Cheers!

Another Elvis Birthday Fight Club in the books by @astropopevents at @teatrogala. So many great burlesque performers to choose from and skits featuring cartoon like violence. We join old and new friends usually each year and appreciate the humor. #ebfc #ebfc2026 #ebfc26

Stopped @the_millworks on our way to his family/the in-laws. Lovely Christmas Eve brunch - I splurged on lobster Benedict and he enjoyed the fried chicken and sausage gravy and biscuits. So many fun cocktail and beer. They have a staff made fig centric amber ale that is not to be missed.

A Hoot for the Holidays features Tara hoot as your hostess with the mostess giving you holiday warmth and love with bits of nostalgia and longing. @the_vagenesis and @shelitaramen pump up the party with songs and dancing that would break my hip.

A fun Thanksgiving weekend with good food, friends, and wine. Visited @walshfamilywine with friends and my guy. Perfect start to the holiday season.

Lovely day of wineries and fun long weekend with my guy. Realities of life hit at times like the war machine homes in McLean.

This is a party I look forward to each year. I get to see friends, play games, dance my ass off, and see fun costumes and set design.

Dorm style co-living is a very fancy way of describing tenements.

Fun day with friends

Martini Monday with my guy at @youronlyfrienddc. We scored some of the special Ray’s the Steak special seating. I have the meat sweats. It was all so tasty and what I remembered but even more special because I could have him enjoy it with me.

My hubby made us the most amazing wings with @dawsonshotsauce that were part of @hotones recent series box. The caraway offers a really interesting and surprising punch.

Beer and pinball is my idea of a good time at Ocelot

Albariño and Cabernet Franc tasting @walshfamilywine

March 29 will go down in history. A key feature of our ceremony and reception was the Negroni. As our friend and officiant shared, “a good marriage is a lot like a cocktail.” May the Negronis and good times continue to flow.

Had the tastiest pizza at Martha Dear with all the ramps, book signing and discussion with Rick Martinez, and after event cocktails at OKPB.

Squid ink and seafood paella paired with @vinovorela’s @domainechatelainwines’ 2019 Pouilly-Fumé. Enjoying the lovely weather on our patio.

Are you the partner who methodically checks the passport or are you the one needing the reminding?

Last weekend before our wedding! Opened my @vinovorela wine club bottles for special dinners. Paired branzini and spinach with @limerockwines that was a unique expression of sauv blanc. Tonight is @vinsmelaniepfister Pinot Noir with grilled lamb chops and Brussels (part of the recommended pairing).

Pre-gaming Kristen Arnett’s book discussion by @loyaltybooks.bsky.social
at Jackie Lee’s. Channeling my Orlando days with jaeger and a beer by throwing dice.

At my happy place at Boqueria in Penn Quarter. The DuPont location is a close second anymore. I pass by them every day and have to tell myself the shishito margarita and sangria is not an every day treat. I am seeing my fave bartenders and staff. I love how welcome I feel here

Had a blast at my bachelorette party! It included many laughs, drinks, friends and stops at multiple spots. Maxwell Park was a highlight with our special tasting experience where we learned more about sparkling wine. I was also surprised by the amazing Tara Hoot and Mr. Hoot.

I took a scooter to Maxwell Park to pick up my wine club and needed to nurse my frost bite with wine and grilled cheese. Also, seriously need to wear gloves on those things in this weather.

We ordered oysters from @s.s.shucking who delivered them to our house. I bought cheese and charcuterie for our snacking from @wholefoods. Celebrating with your partner who is your best friend is a luxury and I can’t wait until next year when he’s my husband.
