Capitol Eats

March 18, 2009 by greg Leave a Comment

Today I spent on Capitol Hill. Yes, I’m in Washington, DC this week. Hence the slowdown in my cooking posts. My wonderful Congressman Pomeroy’s office arranged for special tours of the Capitol and the spectacularly beautiful Library of Congress for us. It was a great day. The photo shown below was taken from Pomeroy’s office window in the Longforth House Office Building. But I digress. This is a blog about food and cooking. For lunch we made our way underground to the maze of tunnels between the office buildings and the Capitol to the cafeteria where the nation’s leaders often take a break to dine. I had a really good (and cheap) Asian Beef Wrap. It was chock full of thinly sliced meat, napa cabbage slaw, mangos, roasted red peppers and a ginger dressing. It really hit the spot. Oh, it’s a gorgeous sunny and warm day today in DC!

Crazy Concoctions

May 11, 2008 by greg 1 Comment

I’ve been pretty busy lately. Consequently I haven’t had time to cook, or time to shop, or time to do anything. So getting lunch together in the morning has been somewhat of a challenge. With pantry items waning and no time to prepare good food I found myself foraging through the cupboards and fridge for anything to throw together. This leads to some pretty wild combinations. Like this wrap I made for lunch on Friday. I started with the last of a package of tortillas. I had a bit of refried beans in the fridge, so I smeared the tortilla with that. On top of the beans went some crumbled maytag blue cheese and that was topped with some hard salami I picked up from Trader Joe’s the last time I was down in The Cities. A few parsley leaves and that made a quick and, well, strange lunch wrap. It was pretty good. Except I forgot to cut the casing off of the salami and it was hard to chew.
