Steamed mussels with thai red curry sauce, you were tasty!

Giant drumstick, delicious-ness

I forgot what you are, but you were extremely tasty and tender! That is why this picture is of you already half eaten...

Key lime pie... I'm not the biggest fan of key lime pie to begin with, but you were not bad.

Fondue... so romantic... I was the 3rd wheel in this meal!

the hunt for scotch eggs

While on a business trip to San Francisco, I was introduced to scotch eggs!!

What exactly is a scotch egg? According to wikipedia, it is a hard boiled egg, wrapped in a sausage mixture, coated with breadcrumbs and deep-fried, originating from London.

Scotch Eggs

according to Wexlers - "Burnt Ends, House Made Hot Sauce, Sweet Tea Gastrique"

Look at that deep fried breading!  Look at the still runny yolk!!

Deep fried goodness! But where can I get this in DC you ask? I don't actually know! I've never stumbled upon it in any other restaurants! I've heard that a few Irish/British pubs (Againn DC and Royal Mile Pub) supposedly serve them, but I've yet to confirm that.

The rest of my meal:

Smoked Short Ribs with Apricots!

Very tender and flavorful. The apricots were not what I expected (in a good way!)

Pecan Pie

my friend ordered this.  I'm not a fan of pecan pie, but he looked like he was enjoying it!

Bistro Lazeez,

Yelp thinks you're amazing, but I think you're a little better than ok.  Clean, modern, not too pricey, not bad.  Probably won't be rushing back anytime soon though.

BLZ Chicken Medley

Flavorful Chicken.  Interesting Sauce.

House Salad Fresh!

Vanilla Pistachio Ice Cream

mm pistachios! unique and worth trying. the rose water is a bit strong though.
i'm not a big fan of eating flowers, but that's just me.

Chicken Kabab

Nothing to complain about, but I don't get all the rave reviews.

Guava Juice, Falafel, Pita

Guava juice was not chilled enough.  Falafel was nicely seasoned but a little too crunchy for me.
