death by chocolate (but i lived to tell the story)

coffee and a slice of flourless chocolate cake at Kramer's in Dupont Circle

It got so warm in DC this weekend, it felt like a perfect spring day with joggers in shorts and birds in the trees again. I have missed having a real winter but goodness, i hope it stays this way! since it was so nice we stopped at Kramer's, our favorite cafe/local bookstore, for some browsing but ended up eating this flourless chocolate cake, otherwise known as 'Death by Chocolate.' soooo divine, soooo not part of my plan to lose weight...oops! At least we did a lot of walking around the city that day though. We ended up finding a great used bookstore up on 18th and walked home in the fading light of evening with our arms filled up with all that bookery-goodness! I even found a christmas present for someone!! yup, i am that person.

Besides the jaunting about, I made stew from scratch on Sunday evening which of course meant we had to pop in The Lord of the Rings; they just go together i tell you! I was also able to get a lot done this weekend work-wise. I'm very pleased with that as it means I'll have new items to post to the shop throughout the week: some new, some favorites, and some great vintage finds! So keep your eyes peeled! Or just open, that is also acceptable.
