Delicious DC

I am one of those people who would like to be a foodie. If I had the budget, yes. I would be all over that. But alas, we are not at a stage in our life when we can really justify that lifestyle. However, we do love trying new, delicious food and DC has certainly provided wonderful new places to delight our tastebuds. On one of our first weekends in the District, two cute couples from our ward invited us to go to dinner with them at 2Amy's. An amazing, neopolitan-style pizza place that is just up the street from the National Cathedral and it was incredible. I got one of the specialty pizzas--a chantrelle mushroom creation that was really yummy, and Brody got the Norcia (Tomato, salami, grilled pepeprs, fresh mozerella and grana), I must admit-- his was better and SO good. We will definitely be going back.

Last weekend, we were again invited to go to dinner with the cute Ali and Brian (who are also from Salt Lake) to Zaytinya's and it was SO good. It's a tappas-style restaurant but they call them Mezze's because that's the middle-eastern word for it. We got four little dishes overall and they were each really tasty and totally different. First was a delicious tapia of feta, tomatos and peppers (so good), then we got the Falafel (a new favorite food of mine thanks to my lovely and amazing friend Patricia), this UNBELIEVABLY delicious lamb. It seriously melted in your mouth and was served in this thick, creamy sauce that was to die for. Seriously. And then a chicken kabob dish that was also really juicy and yummy. They also give you delicious pita bread, hot and fluffy, right out of the oven.

Afterwards we headed over to Good Stuff Eatery in Capitol Hill and got the famous toasted marshmellow shakes that were just the right amount of thickness and flavor. It was fantastic and we can't wait to try more!
