Ugh, I lost my scarf on my @united flight yesterday and i’m so frustrated by how hard it’s been to get help. I realized it was missing while I was still at baggage claim around 4pm. The plane was still at the airport and wasn’t scheduled to depart again until 5:30pm,

so I really thought there might be a chance to retrieve it. Instead, when I went to Lost & Found, I was handed a QR code to submit a claim and couldn’t really get a word in to explain the situation or even mention my @united Premier Status. Yesterday, my scarf, the plane and I

A few years ago I was asked by the @todayshow to make cookies that represented Washington D.C. after a lot of research, I found that DC didn’t have an official dessert, so I created one to honor Rock Creek Park. Candy coated rocks, walnuts, dried sour cherries, chocolate chunks

Rock Creek Park is one of Washington, D.C.’s most iconic parks. It's an oasis in the center of the city, filled with amazing trails, scenic drives and perfect for a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of our nation’s capital.

This cookie is inspired by the nature that fills Rock Creek Park: marshmallows represent the white oak trees, the trails are represented by earthy walnut pieces and, of course, I've included cherries, the city's official fruit for extra tang. #washingtondc #america

So many great cocktails on the east end of H St NE. Went to Providencia for a night cap and dessert - a subtly sweet plantain, hojicha, and rum tiramisu. Paired really well with a Japanese whiskey drink topped with peanut foam. Also had to try the gruyere pupusa. When in Prov...
Daru is a cozy corner restaurant with excellent food & complex cocktails (original plan was a cocktail bar). A generous HH runs daily at the bar 5-6:30, and occasionally all night, including this Sun-Thur. I love the snacks most - items like dahi puri & momo. Z&Z zaatar naan is🤌

Unpopular baking opinion: it doesn’t matter if you use salted butter or unsalted butter… if you don’t read the recipe all the way through or follow the directions. 🫩
