Delicious Diner Dining

First, I'm sorry but I have to do it -- I have to complain about the weather. Today was the coldest day in the history of my life. 

It was colder than the day I thought I was going to die at inauguration 4 years ago.

It was colder than the day I stood in Times Square for 8 hours to watch the ball drop.

It was colder than the day I tailgated at a Giants game in December.

I saw my breath in the car, I felt such crazy pain in my feat -- I swear I had frostbite. I wore ridiculous amounts of clothing and nothing helped. It was 18 degrees out this morning. 

AND NO SNOW. 

Tonight we went out to dinner with Catherine, Matt, Kelsey and Ben. We went to Ted's Bulletin on Barracks Row. First, I love this area. Perfect mix of everything: classy bars, fun bars, hole-in-the-walls, nicer restaurants, cafes and bakeries. I went out sometime last year to Cava Mezze (delicious and amazing happy hour) last year and have been wanting to go back to hit some of the other places. This is the area that's sort of between the Capitol and Eastern Market. 

Catherine suggested Ted's Bulletin. The food was great, the atmosphere fun and the decor pretty sweet. It's diner style with a neat menu made to look like a newspaper. The menu is really diverse but also not somewhere for a quick cheap eat. Definitely on the pricier side, but having said that, definitely worth it! Catherine had a lasagna that looked so hearty and heart-warming. Sketchy had a southwest chipotle soup, two random eggs and a chicken chipotle burger. I had a lamb burger on pita bread with fresh feta cheese and tzatziki sauce with a side of mac and four cheese. It was super delicious. We all ate everything before I thought about taking a picture. fail.

Catherine had mentioned that Ted's makes their own homemade poptarts. I had to do it. I had the blueberry cheesecake poptart. The poptart was so fluffy and perfect -- tasted like a giant and perfect shortbreadcookie. 

my amazing poptart.

This was all their flavors in their bakery case when you walk in.

From our spot in front of the restaurant to our drive-way. 

Barracks Row is definitely going on the list of approved weekday city spots. We can get in and out so easily and there's just so much to do there!

In other news Charlie got a new bed which he's really happy about. it's really big and comfy looking. He sleeps so soundly, and snores so loudly! 

Last night was so super cold. We bundled up the doggies in their new fleece blanket. =)

I love the times when they're not fighting and look like they actually like each other. So we're supposed to get snow tonight. Psh. I'm not getting excited anymore because meteorologists just LIE. 

One more day 'til Friday!
