Hello Miss American Pie
(Note to self: Never wear heels into DC unless you pack a pair of comfy flats. All you fashion bloggers with your perfectly mixed-and-matched outfits with to-diiiie sky heels, SPJ, Stacy London (You are my fashion icon and I adore you but, but and but) y’all can just…*blows raspberries*. Three hours of walking through the cobblestone streets of our Nation’s capitol in...
Gogi. Gogi.
It’s hard to find good Korean food in MD (Another thing to add on my every increasing list of ‘Why I Don’t Like MD.’ Washington D.C. is probably the only redeeming factor. Sort of). So when I discovered Hwaro in Rockville (Via coupon on OpenTable), I figure it was worth a go.

Yes. Yes, and um, YES). Any restaurant you go into, no matter how dingy or glossy the floors may seem,...
Intro.
Food, since I was very young, has been one of the earliest and greatest loves in my life. And like most great loves, we have had our ups and downs, good and bad (Prominently during the awkward, hormonal teenage years where food was the enemy). But now as the edge of teenage angst wears off whilst I enter my semi-confusing young adulthood and the peak of my metabolism, food and I are reunited and...
