Shutdown Madness

Unless you've lived under a rock in the last few weeks, you probably know about the 2018-2019 Shutdown . If you're one of the thousands that planned on coming to DC during this time and are disappointed that all vacation plans are ruined, fear NOT!

Going along with the theme of making your kitchen reek, I decided to make curried egg sandwich. WARNING: Before you buy your eggs, be aware of the current egg recall that is going on.
