The entirety of my evening yesterday was spent peeling stubborn little stickers off candle holders I plan to use at our wedding reception. Because this was a) not fun and b) the first of many times I'm going to have to do this, I treated myself to take-out from my very favorite neighborhood sushi restaurant. I got the nigiri combo - 9 pieces plus a California roll. It was enough for two refreshing meals, dinner last night plus lunch today.
I am hoping to continue my enjoyment of ethnic seafood dishes with dinner at a near-by Spanish restaurant this weekend. They are having their annual Paella Festival, featuring bacalao (codfish, in Portuguese) and clams paella and baby octopus paella. Mmm.
I am a registered dietitian with the National Fisheries Institute, so fish is my nutrition forte. I earned my BA in Communication from Southwestern University, just outside of Austin, TX. During college, one of my very favorite evening outings was a leisurely trip to the healthful food market. My passion for food was undeniable, so I combined both of my interests by earning my MS in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University in Boston, MA. As well as my Registered Dietitian (RD) credential through the University of Delaware.
Beyond reading scientific studies about docosahexaenoic acid and selenium, I love to entertain, travel, watch reality TV, grill outdoors, and go to spin class. I live in Washington, DC and am surrounded by a cast a characters you will get to know as you read my blog, including my fiancé (Lloyd), my cat (Miles), and my three sisters.
