Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been able to post in a while. As a result, here is a week in review to go over some of the stuff we have been up to here in Arlington. A Peterson potpurri, if you will. Also, be sure to check out Sarah's travelogue of her adventures further below.
First off, it's become a tradition in our household for me to make some sort of baked good whenever Sarah comes home from a work trip. This time it was chocolate coca-cola cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. Sounds odd, but they were pretty tasty.
A week after Sarah's trip to the high altitudes of Bolivia, she was still able to run with me in the Lawyers Have Heart 10K Race in Georgetown. Sorry I don't have better pictures than these shots in the parking garage. You'll just have to take my word for it that we actually ran in the race.
We finished in 1 hour, 4 minutes, which isn't too shabby for 6.2 miles.
We also had a Mexican food night last week, where we made roasted corn, guacamole, and deep-fried chicken flautas.
They actually weren't as complicated as I thought, and frying stuff is always an adventure.
For dessert, we whipped up a tres leches cake. Look at how moist and delicious it is. I assure you that Sarah and I stick to a pretty rigorous no-carb diet during the week, so we manage to eat this stuff on the weekends without getting (too) fat.
Speaking of carbs, a few nights ago we also made our way to a D.C. favorite, Amsterdam Falafel. Falafel is essentially fried chickpea balls stuffed in a pita with all sorts of toppings. It's exactly as amazing as it sounds.
Pictured above: awesomeness.
Finally, the garden I planted on the balcony a few weeks ago, is looking pretty good. I've got rosemary, parsley, basil, and cilantro, along with some flowers. So there you have it, a random sampling of our quaint little lives. Hope you're all doing well.
