Here are two references to Boundary Stone in his report today:

  • 1250 Ninth St. NW: Interior fit-out in this Shaw building for All Purpose, an Italian-American restaurant that will specialize in pizza. All Purpose is a group effort, from the teams that brought you The Red Hen and Boundary Stone. Work will include the construction of a new bar, dining room and kitchen with associated support spaces. Its new home is the ground floor of The Colonel, a new luxury apartment building.
  • 112 Rhode Island Ave. NW: Speaking of Boundary Stone, the popular Bloomingdale bar and public house located at 116 Rhode Island Ave. NW will expand into the adjacent, vacant tenant space. When the work is done, Boundary Stone will seat 90 people.

Awareness Cubed Series, From A-Z

 

“Wisdom tends to grow in proportion to one’s awareness of one’s ignorance.”
Anthony de Mello

"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

"The energy of the mind is the essence of life. Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom."
Aristotle


About Samsara House 2023, (est. 2013)
 
"Samsara House 2023" at 36 R Street NW is an Awareness-based shared event space where world-shifting communities are meshworked to expand each other's world view and experience and cross-pollinate that which is emerging in the world.  Samsara House 2023 rapidly prototypes models for the new world to template upon and ignite a planetary revolution in consciousness within ten years.

Samsara House 2023’s strategy is to exemplify a gift-economy over the market economy, one that values giving over having. While all events cost at least one dollar to cover utilities, any additional contribution will go towards periodically giving half back to a socially responsible organization or cause in need that you also help identify. Going together as a river, we build a thriving community of communities and pave the way for a new world. Samsara House 2023 is a Holacracy powered organization founded by Cullen Kowalski at a row house in Bloomingdale, New Washington, D.C.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.  To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~ Buckminster Fuller 

Be the change you wish to see in the world. ~ Gandhi

John Salatti: Join Me for the Launch of the book The Song, Saturday. 09-19-2015

See this message from John Salatti:
 
I have not had the pleasure of posting something on the listerv in awhile. So I am really pleased to announce that a brand new novel entitled The Song will have its the debut launch on September 19th in Bloomingdale.  Neighbors Johannes Tonn and Gunhild Berg will host the author ofThe SongJoe Arnold, at their home a 114 S Street.  Joe will do readings from The Song and talk about its meanings.  But Joe's artistic talents do not at end with writing novels.  He is also an expert performer of all sizes and kinds of Native American flutes. So as part of this book launch Joe will also offer the first public performance of "Bliss," the song from which The Song gets its name.  He will also play selections from his full length recordings, Transitions and Letting Go
     
I encourage you to come out to this event because The Song is a cool book, "Bliss" is a cool song, and Joe is a cool guy.  And because Joe has been a three-quarter time resident of Bloomingdale since the spring of 2011 and has done home renovations and landscape designs and implementations from literally one end of the neighborhood to the other.  With his quiet integrity, Joe has transformed many Bloomingdale homes and yards (including mine) and made an enormous positive contribution to the development of the neighborhood.  So please come over on the 19th and hear passages from this wonderful book, drink in some beautiful music, and meet a really great guy.  
 
I personally think so much of this project that I am coming back from California to be a part of the launch of The Song.  And I get the added pleasure of getting to say hello to many of you myself.  I've missed Bloomingdale.
 
John

Hello, we encountered a clearly lost indoor/outdoor cat tonight that was meowing at 1st and R St NW and hungry. Is this your cat? We did not take inside, but did want to alert in case she/he was missing. 




cat found around 1st & W Street NW

See this Sunday, 08-23-2015, message from Bloomingdale resident Mark Mueller:

Anyone know the owner--or want to adopt this really super cool tall fixed male cat? He's very tame, playful, social, seems to get along with other cats, appears to be very homeless and is just one coooool cat.
He's hanging around 100 block of W St NW. We named him Cecil:)
Come get him.

great summer recipes at the Bloomingdale Farmers Market

From: "Markets & More" <Markets__More@mail.vresp.com>
Subject: Great Summer recipes at BFM
Date: August 20, 2015 10:01:26 AM EDT
 
Bloomingdale Farmers' Market
Hi BFM fans,
A friend brought Padron peppers from her vacation in Spain and her boyfriend blistered them for us: just heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the peppers until they look blistered, just a few minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and a bit of lemon. Eat. Do the same with Shishito peppers. Mountain View has both of them.

Never know what to do with Sage? This cream of sage, garlic and thyme appetizer knocked out all the others the other night at an apero: Simmer 3 ounces of peeled garlic cloves in salted, vinegared water for 7 minutes. Add the leaves from a big bunch of sage and 10 thyme sprigs. Simmer 3 more minutes and drain. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil until it shimmers and add it slowly to a blender or mixer where you are pureeing the herb leaves. Once it is creamy, spread it on thin toasted crostini.

Andre riffed on a classic from his Egyptian childhood, Muhammara: Puree roasted or grilled and peeled red peppers, walnuts and homemade blackberry jam (instead of pomegranate molasses)with a bit of cayenne or smoked hot pimenton.

CHEF DEMO: Our friends from Boundary Stone will be flexing their farm to table muscles at the market Sunday, starting at 10;30 am.



eggplant
Robin’s Provencal Cooking Tip: Slice Rosa Bianca or similar eggplant into 1/3 inch slices. Brush with olive oil and bake on a cookie sheet or hotel pan until brown on both sides. (400 degree oven). Sprinkle with cut herbs and serve. ADDICTIVE. Top with yogurt or goat cheese or diced tomatoes or a combo of fresh tomato sauce and cheese. Makes great sandwiches, too

I saw "to.die.for" Pimento Kimcheese burgers at vacation pix posted by chef Tiffany McIsaac (Buttercream Bakery). Try your own with Keswick Pimento and Sons kimchi.

KESWICK: I love to rave about their Mozzarella because it is so creamy, so much like the real Italian buffalo Mozzarella. And if you love yogurt, be sure to check this. Pimento Cheese is top of mind today because I saw a fabulous Pimento Kimcheese burger picture. Chileheads, alert. I was eating Dragon's Breath yesterday -- that is one hot cheese. What I like about the Keswick stand is that they have such a huge range of cheeses. Cheddar, Calverley, Wallaby, Vachino Bianca,Bovre, Tomme Sweet Tomme , Carrock.
