DC: LPQ

I was wet.  I was cold.  I was tired.  I was in the mood for something familiar. And so Kyle and I went across the street to Le Pain Quotidien, a bakery and cafe with a veg friendly menu that I already know and love. Sorry about the lack of light.  I started with tea.   We shared two appetizers.  First, the soup of the day, a (vegan) broccoli soup.  And second, the seasonal tartine with sweet pea hummus, garden vegetables and smoked tea vinaigrette. I’d had this particular dish on my mind for a… Read more >

DC: Cafe Green

Last morning in DC started with the usual waffle run. Then we said goodbye to Kyle’s dad and headed to the National Geogrpahic museum.

I never knew James Cameron was a deep sea explorer.  Not only has… Read more >

Get Outside

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I always always make a point to leave the hospital on my lunch break. Me + grassy area + yummy food = mid-shift mental vacation On weekend shifts especially, the village is slow and things feel mellow (regardless of the chaos that’s going down on the unit), so it’s nice to sit in the sun and Vitamin D it up. Do you eat at your office?  Work cafeteria?  Desk?  Or do you break away from the job for meals?
