On our actual anniversary (Monday), we went to our beloved Bite because we wanted to do something on the actual day and it was lovely, as always. While we were in the DC area for the Chickfactor shows, we went to a fancy dinner at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birchandbarley.com\/\">Birch &#038; Barley<\/a>. It was one of *the* best meals of my life. Stuff of dreams was my appetizer: ricotta dumplings wrapped in duck prosciutto with fried capers and olives and there are two elements I am missing. Creamy and salty and the texture was just amazing. Duck as my entree was excellent also, but I wasn&#8217;t wild about the wild rice on the side. The goat milk cheesecake was flawless. One of the pricier meals we have eaten, but definitely worth every single penny and then some. Photos are above. You should probably have a napkin handy to wipe the drool from your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>RE: Chickfactor at Artisphere (Arlington, VA). Seeing Stevie Jackson and Black Tambourine were the highlights for me. Spending time with Z and my family and friends this weekend was fun-filled and we ate and drank like kings every day. Truth: I ate duck Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We got a nice long walk with my parents in over the weekend, but not much other exercise. We are definitely going back to Lean Cuisines and Wii-ing every day this week! <\/p>\n<p><strong>Films watched 14th week of the year:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging<br \/>\nThe Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia*<br \/>\nSleeping With the Enemy<\/p>\n<p>*documentary<\/p>\n<p>Being so busy, we didn&#8217;t have a whole lot of time to watch films, but all of them were enjoyable in their own way. This is definitely a must-watch doc and it&#8217;s on Netflix instant viewing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Z and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary twice this week.
