Earlier today, I went out to the Trader Joe’s on Wisconsin Avenue to get lunch with some of the girls from work–I make it sound like a secretarial pool; just call me Millie Graydon–and there I picked up a “Mid East Feast,” a package containing falafel, tahini, hummus, and tabouli, with pita bread, perfect for lunch on the go. Yum. While it’s not spectacular–the falafel is a bit dry and hard from refrigeration–it’s still pretty good. Especially after walking in the midday heat and humidity, when hitherto all you’ve had to eat is a bagel.
Speaking of food, this month’s Washingtonian magazine contains its annual “cheap eats” review of the best bargain restaurants in the area.
One reply on “Day trading”
Go Washingtonian! I worked there one summer. Alas, no restaurant reviews for me. This summer, I’m covering health at the LA Times. All that means is extra guilt every time I eat fast food and don’t exercise. But at least there’s In-N-Out.
