I Will Definitely Not Starve In DC!

Wow. That's all I can say about today.
Nothing super-exciting in terms of visiting a museum or monument (or any other such DC adventure), but a really great day nonetheless. Anthonette and I both needed household stuff (badly), so we headed out with my trusty GPS. After a VERY circuitous ride - we figured out on the way back to DC there was a MUCH easier way we could've gotten where we wanted to go - we had a great time shopping (again, it was just household stuff, but everything's more fun with a friend). We made our way back into DC late in the day - and just in time for the TORRENTIAL downpour to begin - and headed to Momiji, her favorite DC sushi spot. The food was AMAZING - quite possibly the best sushi I have EVER had - and the ambiance was great; we had a blast watching a group at the hibachi (and got a laugh out of me getting whacked in the shoulder by a flying piece of cucumber when the guy at the grill was trying to get someone in the group to catch it in his mouth... he missed) and enjoyed a shared order of mochi, which is a wonderful ice cream-like dish.
The title of today's blog refers to the fact that I did not eat a single item of home-cooked food (morning coffee doesn't count) today. I had last night's leftover salad and pizza for breakfast (it was calling to me from the fridge!), a burger and fries at Five Guys (a chain that receives RAVE reviews by just about every reviewer every year) for lunch, and the sushi for dinner. Funny thing is, I'm doing so much walking that I've actually DROPPED a size since moving here! Imagine what I could do if I started eating at home more - but who can refuse lunch out with colleagues or dinner with friends?
