White asparagus, purple cauliflower and damn tasty cheese at WegmansSpent my Saturday running hither and yon with J. --falling in love with tissue-weight cashmere at Saks-Jandel and watching her put together fabulous outfits with help from the amazing sales associates . They were bringing all sorts of things to try on and it all worked together beautifully. It reminded me of the good life way back when shopping at I. Magnin in downtown Seattle or Bronkas in the Village were similar. Such were the days.
Drove up to No. VA to Minervas for a very complete Indian buffet lunch, walked around the mall at Leesburg hoping to score the elusive jean skirt that wasn't cut for a 12 year old at Barneys (no luck) and then off to one of the most amazing grocery stores of all time -- Wegmans. Wow - what a place, it could take all day to really see the store. Great produce, cheese, deli and everything under the sun. Picked up some washed cheese curds and more of these yummy fennel crackers we found at Joe's Italian Marketplace in Fishkill a few weeks ago.
Had sushi at Murasaki with much lively conversation and then off to a lovely viewing of vacation photos and a short but sweet night at the Dulles Hyatt. This is probably the nicest hotel airport I have stayed at in years down to the Molton Brown toiletries and the copy of bon appetitit!
Thanks to J, N and R for a great weekend and one day you'll all have to come to Seattle so that I can reciprocate.

hah, speaking for n & r, we all had a great time. Come back soon!
And that's great asparagus. I wish I'd purchased some.
only if you mix it with yellow cauliflower and maybe some purple green beans.
Honestly, I can see TH spending three hours there and we'd have to gate check a bag!
next trip that does not involve work, I promise.
