Half way mark in the US

I'm having a wonderful, busy time in DC with my daughter.  Two doctors appointments down and two more tomorrow.  Yesterday I drove to Annapolis and Baltimore in Calla's day old Subaru!  What a beautiful car and her first purchased....she traded in our 13 year old Legacy Sedan and before that, she had my mother's Honda.  She got a great deal on it as the 2014 models are due to come out shortly.  Also got Tom's new laptop from Apple...wow...so thin and light!  I am really enjoying the food that I have missed....some are:

Urban BBQ...beef brisket eaten in the car dealer's showroom while waiting to take possession of her new car

Baja Fresh tacos with mango salsa

Bobby Flay's Burgers....fab and onion rings

Texas pickled okra

Affordable fresh blackberries and raspberries 

Sour cream and huge baked potatoes

Carrot and red velvet cake

Last night was fun with Megan and Ashley working on a craft project for Ashley's boyfriend.  Tonight is Taco night with Calla's friends and her new next door neighbor who moved back here after 9 years in Hong Kong and Australia.
