Saturday started with a visit to the Bayou Bakery in Arlington, VA: beignets and chicory coffee - delicious. For lunch, we visited the Eden Center, aka Little Vietnam. Two groups of people waxed poetic about Huong Viet Restaurant, so we picked up some food to go. For dinner, we had shopped at the Arlington farmers' market and got a local variety of mushrooms, mozzarella, and ramps. We made a fantastic cream sauce for a pasta dinner extraordinaire.
On Sunday, we headed out west to Leesburg, VA, and a second visit to Fire Works Pizza. Not only do they have great pizza, they have wonderful beer on tap - most of it pretty local. I had a really tasty milk sweet stout from Williamsburg AleWerks Microbrewery called Cafe Royale. Afterwards, we spent a lovely Sunday afternoon out on the patio at Hillsborough Vineyards in Purcellville, VA.
Lots of good food and great conversation - I couldn't have asked for a better time!
