Deliciousness in D.C.

I haven't had much time for cooking lately because I've been a weekend jet-setter: My companion and I spent three days in Washington, DC for my college roommate's wedding. It was delightful, as expected. A couple of my favorite epicurean moments from the trip:

• Spotting attorney-turned-uberbaker-turned Food Network Star Warren Brown at his bakery CakeLove, and scarfing down one of his chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream frosting. (Yes, that's two "butters.")
• Sipping frosty-cold, slushy, swirled margaritas (1/2 lime, 1/2 strawberry) at Lauriol Plaza (very) shortly after noon on Friday, as well as noshing on masitas de puerco--Cuban pork roasted with bitter oranges.
