Dinner was just roast chicken and squash, but the wine was a white tannat. Yes, really. And it's *incredible*. Who knew tannat could taste like vin jaune? One of Virginia's neatest new vineyards. #winesky

Your routine remjnder that DC is beautiful. Ginkgo trees are a menace (their seed pods smell awful and their leaves stick all over everything) but for about two weeks every fall they're absolutely magnificent.

Two weeks of our kitchen out of commission with renovations, so a lot of our meals look like this. Treating ourselves after a rotten week with one of my favorite producers - Domaine Marnes Blanches never misses, and this sparkling wine is a killer. #winesky

Flowers for furlough and another day of funemployment. We'll be OK; I'll get back pay when it ends, and my husband's not a fed. But shutdowns are killer for the entire DC area. Please reach out to the fed families you know.

Got a ton of chanterelles to make a great pasta with roast garlic, then pickled the rest with thyme and juniper.

Chanterelles have made it to DC! I also nabbed some golden oyster mushrooms to make the amazing mushroom sausage rigatoni from Six Seasons. That cookbook is like 90% solid bangers #cookingsky

Get you a partner who sees you on the verge of a nervous breakdown and makes you a little care package. A Coke Zero and a donut is a decent substitute for therapy, right?

It's tough to gauge the size of a march while you're in it. But a friend took this shot from the other side of 16th. (We're by the pink banner all the way in the back.) #freedc

Look! Look at my beautiful city. I do strive to be respectful here, truly, so I will say that anyone whose solution to violence in DC doesn't involve lead remediation and money for schools is very graciously entitled to eat my shit and hair.

I am not interested in the opinions about DC from anyone who hasn't gone to our neighborhood festivals and eaten their weight in shrimp and funnel cake.
