I had planned to bake my friend Mia a chocolate birthday layer cake with chocolate- hazelnut buttercream frosting. Both of my 9 inch rounds came out as dense as rocks, and the frosting was equally thick. I brought it to a party and decided to just leave it in the kitchen anonymously; I couldn't take credit for this lump of junk. The next day, I picked up my plate from the party house, and I learned that the cake had not been eaten at all! Instead, some drunkard threw it against the wall of the living room! This was indeed a failure.

I forget why, but baking dough straight from the fridge is somehow better for it. I know the NYT advocates it.

@chardonnay- How is Leah any more of a "slut" than Hosea?

@overw8- Praised be, another foodie who understands how the word "chef" was suddenly indexed with "male" in that one statement.

SE, I expect better.

Vegetate is supposed to be promising.

Cowgirl's MT Tam! Yums

Agree with Best Late Night Eats- Amsterdam Falafel, and Best Sushi- Sushi Ko.

I agree with mitomaid about Tabard Inn for Brunch, and Blue Duck has a fabulous dinner as well.

However, I think Meskerem in Adams Morgan is far better quality than Etete on U St. They've consistently won the Best Ethiopian title from countless critics for the past ten years.

YOU MUST GO TO THIS PLACE:

Mama Mudsliders, at 120 Christopher St in the West Village. Really delicious, and a few flavored options. Really great.

cantalope or canned peaches, or luction noodles.

My friend worked in his factory!

I go to American and whenever visit my Georgetown chum, I indulge in the veggie burger at Wisey's. Oddly, it's one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had.

So, I checked up on it. The building is for rent now...so long Cluck U.
