Colorado Eats

The Rocky Mountain Diner is delicious and has a good variety of food for a crowd. It's more upscale than a traditional diner. Buffalo meatloaf - YUM.

I second the calls for Illegal Pete's, too.

Pimms cup. Or maybe pink lemonade.

Marvelous Mint Ice Cream

also try the Fresh Mint Ice Cream from David Lebovitz's book. It's sublime. Really, any of his recipes are winners. I'm particularly fond of the roasted banana and Guinness-milk chocolate.

Movie Theater Food

usually sneak in some M&Ms or twizzlers, but we do buy a soda once there (husband prefers fountain drinks to cans/bottles).

The most brazen food-sneaking I ever experienced wasn't me, but in a tiny, now-defunct arthouse theater in Dupont Circle. The guy behind me brought in takeout curry -- there was no hiding the smell. But, there were only a dozen or so people in the theater, and no one complained. (And I felt less guilty for having a sandwich with me that time.)

Help me with my weekday dinners

I make a batch of crepes about once a week (makes 12-15 and they keep well in the fridge), and we eat them with rejiggered leftovers. For instance, sunday's leftover easter ham got diced up and sauteed with asparagus, mushrooms, gruyere and herbes de provence. Or if we have leftover chicken, I might sautee that with some spinach and swiss. Plus, there's something novel about them, even though we have them regularly, because the filling is always different (and a great way to use up leftover veggies too).

Starbucks Discontinues Breakfast Sandwiches

I liked the sandwiches. It was nice to have a food option that wasn't 100% carbs and sugar - a little protein and even a few spinach leaves were nice. (And yes, they seemed to be very popular at the NW DC branch I frequented).

What Would You Make To Help a Family Through a Tough Time?

Red beans and rice are another option. Freezes decently, and you can add andouille sausage as well.

Kumquats!

I love them on skewers with meats and vegetables, slow-roasted in the oven.

Gin and tonics are my favorite for something cool to drink while sitting on my patio.

Mint juleps! Forget mojitos, I prefer this classic work of art in bourbon, mint, sugar and ice - the perfect compliment to relaxing on a porch swing or rocker.
