Another fine Sunday

Here in the mid Atlantic, we've been having wonderful weather, 60s, sunny and crisp!  This weather inspires us to move around because once it's over 85 degrees we'll be locked in the studio with the A/C blasting away!

We went back to Alexandria in search of these off-kilter golden cubes we bought last month.  There was thankfully once strand left.  We were then "forced" to buy more baubles and such.  When in Alexandria, it means a stop for coffee @ Misha's.  Why do we like it there so much?  They brew the coffee themselves, like our Zeke's in Bmore.  And the vibe there is very laid back.  That works until the caffeine kicks in!

We ventured to a new place (for us) for pizza,  Redrocks Firebrick Pizzeria in Columbia Heights.  It's a good sign when you go in to get pizza and soccer (football) is on the tv in the tiny bar space.  The pizzeria is in a corner rowhouse with outdoor seating and upstairs dining too.  We sat in the main area, aka the living room.  Again, its another laid back place which we love.  The pizza was just outstanding, thin crust, slightly charred.  They make it with 00 flour.  We started with a shaved fennel salad.  The olive oil was green and tasty.  We tried an organic Pinot Grigio, which balanced well with our choices.

Here's hoping the weather stays like this for awhile.  It's been nice to get outdoors after the crazy winter.  And it keeps our mind off our garden, which we can't begin until early May.

 Zizi reminds us that we didn't bring her anything home.
