Going Out Guide

Wicked Bloom has created the best deviled eggs inWashington

By Fritz Hahn November 20

Deviled eggs are the perfect picnic food: If you can boil water, you can make deviled eggs. A number of D.C. restaurants and bars put their own spin on the dish, but none is as transcendent as the Bacon and Eggs at Wicked Bloom Social Club in Bloomingdale.

Bacon and Eggs is genius in its simplicity: Two hard-boiled eggs, sliced in half, and filled with a creamy yolk mixture that involves plenty of paprika. What takes them to the stratosphere is that each egg is topped with a piece of pork belly prepared by pitmaster Rob Sonderman, the man behind DCity Smokehouse.

...

Correction: The eggs are topped with pork belly. This post originally said brisket, but it's delicious, delicious pork belly.

The Frugal Planner's Weekly Dispatch Personal Finance, News, Ideas, & Things I Find Interesting Issue 10, Black Friday Edition November 27, 2015 Like what you see? If so, please share with your friends & family! How Amazon's Strategies Affect Black Friday Now that Thanksgiving is over, and Black Friday is here, we can stop being thankful and get out there and buy stuff! But seriously, you should still be thankful. I know many people enjoy fighting crowds and hunting for bargains after Turkey Day. Personally, I'd rather watch a marathon of sappy Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel. Note: Heidi, this statement in no way means I want to watch movies on Hallmark all day! I prefer to do almost all of my shopping online at Amazon.com. Jeff Bezos and his employees have made it incredibly easy (too easy!) to buy nearly anything and have it delivered to your home or office - sometimes the same day. Wired.com has an interesting article about how Amazon's strategies affect not only Black Friday sales, but online shopping in general. These boxes arrive at our house way too often. Gratitude (and the Pumpkin Pie Paradox) We just celebrated Thanksgiving, which means it's a good time to write about the link between being grateful and being happy. I believe most of us know focusing on good things makes us feel better than focusing on bad things. Unfortunately, its easy to forget to be grateful as we go through our daily routine. New York Times columnist Arthur C. Brooks recently wrote a column about gratitude and happiness. It's a good reminder to be grateful for the little things in life. Bonus: Brooks coins the phrase "Pumpkin Pie Paradox", when people begin to crave sweets after expressing gratitude. There's a scientific basis for why we eat pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving! I'm grateful for Ilsa falling asleep on me after Thanksgiving dinner. Share  Tweet  Forward  Copyright © 2015 Donalies Financial Planning, LLC, All rights reserved.
