Dinner at Dino's

Last night I met a friend -- a reporter planning to embed in Iraq at some point -- for dinner at Dino, the famous Cleveland Park eatery. It was really nice. Because we met right at 7:30, we were able to order the three-courses-for-$24 deal (good Sun-Thurs if you order before 7:30). I had this bulgur wheat and bean salad, followed by lamb pasta. Scrumptious. And some nice Malbec, with ants crawling across the bottle ("Hormigas"). Cheese in lieu of dessert as third course. Wonderful. This type of food, combined with the PT regime I've combined since returning from Iraq, has me feeling quite healthy.
