Cafe Prezzo for brunch
Decided to try Cafe Prezzo for brunch in Bethesda. I ordered the eggs benedict as my test meal. I'm very impressed with the entire plate, table setting, and atmosphere. The food is perfect, hash browns are buttery and salty, egg yolk firmed but very slightly runny, everything is hot, and the fruit is fresh.
Its very nice when you can go out and not have some aspect of the food or service be jacked.

Fruit salad
I don't eat much fruit usually but I decided I wanted to try making fruit salad for dinner. I had a lemon and had to think of a way to use it. Here's what I made.
Juice of one lemon
2 teaspoons of dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons of plain greek yogurt
1 teaspoon of vanilla
A pinch of salt, maybe 1/8 teaspoon?
Whisk that together in a bowl, then start cutting and adding any fruit you like.
I don't know the names of some of the fruit I bought but it was an apple, some kind of tiny peach, some kind of crossbreed plum/apricot/nectarine, blueberries, strawberries, and a kiwi. I also added walnuts.

Bacchus of Lebanon in Bethesda MD
After my 20 mile ride on Saturday I decided that I wanted a nice dinner out. I realized I wanted mediterranean and chose Bacchus because I hadn't been there before. Its very nice inside and the crowd that came and went was very fun to see and listen to. A rabbi, a family, young people on dates, old ladies dressed up, etc.
I ordered the Ma'anek, beef and lamb sausage with spices and pine nuts and Sedr Djaj Mechwi, essentially spiced garlic chicken with rice and almonds, I also ordered the dinner side salad.
It was all delicious! The chicken was moist and so tasty, the menu said 'for garlic lovers' but I could have handled more garlic. :)
20 mile ride Saturday
I've started going to the gym MWF to do upper body weights and TuThSa I bike 20 miles. This is me in the middle of or after a bike ride. I can't remember.

Sweet Basil in Bethesda
I worked out this morning and still being on vacation I decided to luxuriate in a relaxing lunch. I had noticed Sweet Basil the other day walking around town and went there.
I already knew I was going to order my favorite Thai dish, drunken noodles with chicken. After seeing the menu I also ordered a chicken curry puff for appetizer. I didn't realize that a free spring roll came with an entree order.
Everything was delicious! The spring roll was crispy, hot, and had fresh vegetables inside. The chicken curry puffs were amazing! They came with a side of red onion and cucumber in some kind of faintly sweet liquid. The red onion and cucumber with the chicken curry puff just complimented eachother wonderfully. My drunken noodle with chicken was fantastic.
I'd definitely go back to Sweet Basil.
