I’m making oxtail stew today, as befits the weather. As one does in, you know, mid-April.

As I said to my coworkers, Truck Day means something entirely different to us non-sports people. This week marks the beginning of a new Food Truck season in Dewey Square! Today I had a sopapilla, Avocado BLT. Yum!

You know you’re reheating good pea soup when it comes out of the container in one big structurally sound glob.

It’s reached that time of the year when we can sit on the porch, at least on some nights. This candle lantern came from my parents’ apartment. I don’t know where they got it (or why they kept it; they were prohibited from burning candles) but I like it quite a bit.

My green plate was deemed “too faded” at inspection this year, so today I had to trade it in for the modern red white & blue plates. I’ve had this one since my first car in 1991 so I’m sad to see it go.

We went for a lovely walk on Roosevelt Island in the Potomac River and saw this big statue of the man himself.

We were in DC this weekend for our nephew’s wedding. Here we see the happy couple during the pyebaek ceremony, a Korean wedding custom which (for this wedding) took place between the Western ceremony and the reception.

JohnK likes his espresso machine. He does make a nice latte.

The cherry blossoms in DC have not really started yet, but we did manage to find a few.
