home brew and chocolate
Late yesterday afternoon, I met with Justin, Jon, and Brad of the Aten Design Group (they are building the next phase of Knight Pulse) over paninis at Busboys and Poets (Brad Jon, a fellow foodie, also chose a peanut butter + banana panini).
Later, I convinced Drupalers (it’s DrupalCon this week) to meet at Biagio for a Madecasse tasting. The fabulous Liza shares her opinion:
Ian countered with this comparison:
Then, I was enchanted by Annie’s art in Andrew and Annie’s beautiful kitchen:
We drank home brew (always a good idea) from a friend of theirs,
and cooked dinner talking about Andrew and Annie’s upcoming travels, the importance of taking vacation, Annie’s stellar site launch checklists, Andrew’s vision of progress through science (read the blog), and the delightful eccentricities of family gatherings.
And then Ian and Liza convinced me to head back over (ancho caramels are quite motivational) to a rooftop in Adams Morgan, and there was blueberry beer on the table, 12seconds uploading happening, and all sorts of code-related antics were being planned at neighboring tables, small droplets loosely joined in this place newly filled with hope…

I dream of peanut butter and banana paninis! Sometimes, I daydream about them even!
The “Mou petit chou chou” painting is funny because apparently, “Mon petit chou” does not refer to a cabbage, but to a the cream-filled “chou” pastry. (Or so my French officemate tells me.)

Mica, that one is my favorite–I just love the way Annie included little hearts on each of them. Do you think your officemate might be thinking of ‘choux’?
Now I’m craving cream-filled pastries! :)

I just saw your post. I’m honored to make your blog, but I have to say that it’s me (not Brad) that is the budding new foodie, and I owe it all to you. I haven’t dreamt of peanut butter and banana panini yet, but I am daydreaming of one. Mmm. Is a plane flight for a sandwich excessive? I’ll have to pick up some good bread and bananas on the way home see what I come up with.

Jon! Apologies, it’s fixed above. And I don’t think a flight for a panini is excessive, though a personalized version (maybe with homemade strawberry jam?) also sounds like a very good plan—
