Closed on Labor Day

This weekend is Labor Day Weekend and I can’t wait! I always wait for this weekend to roll around because I spend it at home in my apartment at Carlyle Station. While that may sound a little boring it’s not. Why?

I invite some friends and neighbors over and we all celebrate the holiday weekend together. It’s a lot of fun actually. We do something different each year, last year we hung out by the pool one day then cooked together the next. Actually every year we cook, we create a Labor Day menu and everyone brings an item for the meal.

This year we’re  having a Portobello and Asparagus Salad with Fried  Chicken and for dessert we’re making a Lemon Ricotta Granita!

What are you doing for Labor Day?

Today, August 26 is a day for your four legged loved one. It’s National Dog Day! Time to bring out the dog treats and celebrate!

Once in the a blue moon you try a restaurant and are completely floored by the good food. Recently I had this experience and it was great! I tried Zabb Thai and I cannot say enough how delicious this restaurant was.

From the appetizers to their desserts you’ll be satisfied! When I had dinner at Zabb Thai I had the Fried Calamari for an appetizer, the Thom Ka Soup (my personal favorite) and the Chef’s Fried Rice with chicken.  Now I’ve never had a Thai dessert but this time i tried the Coconut Custard and I was completely amazed! This dinner was truly a yummy one!

Zabb Thai is located off of 11010 SUDLEY MANOR DR., you can call 703-392-9222 for more information.

Chipolte Mexican Grill has quickly become a favorite of mine. With their good tastes and inventive ways too , they are definitely a restaurant not to be reckoned with.

My  favorite dish at Chipolte are their burrito bowls. I enjoy their black beans and steak in my burrito bowl, the season on the steak is very good. Being opened for now17 years, you must know that Chipolte is doing something good.  What’s your favorite dish at Chipolte?
