Also keeping the chutney (which I suppose could be called "relish" ...if you are a cretin), the tiramisu AND the bleu cheese to eat with my green apples.

And that is all I have to say about that.

Nov 2018

Early on in my tenure in DC, I was living near Howard back before "gentrification" was a word. My neighbor Tariq invited me over to his alley party (this is a DC thing: a block of rowhouses is split north-south by an alley and you don't need to hassle with a permit for a block party in the alley*). I knew not to show up light, so I brought a case of beer and, since I figured food would be good, a potato salad. He asked me what I brought and the beer was rapidly whisked away, and when I said "and potato salad", I don't think the DJ *actually* scratched the record but it felt like that. But T's face lit up a second later and he said, "oh, shit, you're from Mississippi, right? go on then". Among the proudest moments of my culinary career.

* Also if you're up to no good as most of us were when you come over to party you enter through the alley door. I used to tell friends "go into the alley between 10th and 11th and then turn right at the illegal chop shop". Nobody ever got lost. Man I miss living in DC.
