summertime in july

 firstly, can we stop and look at the majesty of this brownie, please? i dislike brownies- they are such the middle child between chocolate cake and chocolate fudge. but this, this is comely (and, incidentally, free of charge).
Artisan Confections, Merrifield.

 Taken while i was working hard at spending hard. Nothing to write about except perhaps the atmosphere and the wondrous Sunday afternoon lighting. Mom's fritatta was modestly good.
Dean & Deluca, Georgetown.

 Homemade brunch. And if your family is anything like ours, you'd run out of jam for toast. But we all know it's about a proper egg yolk.

 Matchbox Merrifield
 holy affogato
 pistachio & ricotta cardamom
Dolcezza Artisanal Gelato, Merrifield
And finally- I'm banishing all of my soy candles. Man Can (Coffee) is here.
