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! I've compiled the following map that you can use to find some spots. This is not a comprehensive list, but it's a start. I used the DC government's free data portal to get the information. Not everything is updated, so check for yourself as well. Good luck!

Amazon wanted to dominate the book industry. It did. But now, smaller bookstores are thriving, and e-reading market seems like it is a niche.

Otherwise, the prep is pretty straightforward and easy. Ingredients: To marinate chicken: 2 Cut Chicken breasts 1/2 cup tomato paste 1/4 cup basil Salt according to taste For the dish: 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 cup mushrooms 1/2 cup onions 1/2 tsp garlic 1/2 cup green peppers 2 cups coconut milk 1 tbsp curry powder 1 tsp fish sauce Pasta of choice. Linguine would be my next trial, because although bow-tie was delicious, it would probabl...
