Steak Salad
Here we are, finally arrived in DC. Enjoyed a great performance of Hairspray in Hollywood, where my son did an outstanding job as Link Larkin. We headed straight to Georgetown, which is always up late and the restaurants were crowded. Where to go? We hit J. Paul’s for a fantastic chicken in a lemon basil sauce, it was delicious, with a bite of chili pepper. Something I am definitely planning to make when I get home, a great gluten free dish. I love to visit DC because it never seems to matter where I go, the conversations are interesting and who know’s who I might meet, or who could be sitting at the next table. It is a town filled with so many influential people, they all seem to have a purpose and I love the intellectual presence surrounding me. Tonight we are heading to a famous Pub that is frequented by senators and visited by many presidents and I am craving a steak salad. This is one of my favorite dishes, it is easy to make and is both light and filling. It will hit the spot, if you are thinking steak.
