This week Sophia and I went to Washington, DC to film an interview with Senator Harkin. We talked about the Farm Bill, farmer's markets and the importance of eating locally. The interview will air next month as part of our Local Eating Month. Throughout the month of September we will be posting recipes, videos, tips and techniques for ways to bring local foods into your daily life.

After we filmed the interview we went to Adams Morgan and had macchiatos at Tryst, mojitos at Bossa and mezze at Meze... Very indulgent, but we had a lot of college culinary memories to fit into one short afternoon.
