last weekend was splendid. what could possibly be better than spending time with family while eating amazing food in the city of washington DC? i couldn't think of anything, either.
(although, the thought of the upcoming thanksgiving is making me pretty antsy right about now. two weeks!)
a simplified version of our menu:

• crepes with two options: nutella, strawberries and cream or asparagus, red peppers, and mushrooms. both were divine.



• chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting/filling and another chocolate cake with cream frosting and peanut butter frosting



• scrumptious thai food on saturday involving curry and pad thai



• chocolate almond clusters and reeses from trader joe's



• hummus with peppers and cucumbers



• and a rice/noodle/chicken dish for sunday dinner

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away."it's a beautiful life.

the end.

{this is happiness}

hold it

wait, you can't do this?? how strange...

i like this.

bekah wins the award for the funniest quote:


"i am so happy. someone just called us twins and i'm still smiling."


(we prefer being called rach and bek, not twins. because that's not our name.)

sushi night!

last friday night we made sushi with our housemates. it was so much fun and the sushi was delicious. we live with some pretty cool people. they are so much fun. i mean, come on, sushi night, what a fabulous idea.
i think we found a new tradition :)

(so maybe the appearance wasn't spectular, but it was still nasty.)
