I loved my lazy weekend and excited to embark on another one tomorrow night. I was plenty social, but most of that was kept to daytime (à la boozy brunch) so I had my nights all to myself and my books. I hope you like the new collage format for “3 on Thursday” – check…

Here’s another one to add to your drunk brunch list, folks: Agave. $25 gets you an entree plus bottomless mimosas, wine, or frozen margaritas. Bazinga!

After a long bus ride, I was starving by the time I got to DC. I needed food and I needed it immediately. Thankfully, Liz lives in the bustling Adam’s Morgan area so even though it was 12:30 AM, there was plenty of drunk food to be eaten. Even completely sober Julia’s Empandas were delicious.…

You’re wrong if you think the whitefish challenge of this post’s title means a competition to eat the most whitefish in the least amount of time.
