RSS FeedWhat Can You Whip Up From The CVS?
Since PQ residents have to engage in “guerilla grocery shopping” at the CVS, we thought we’d open up the blog for people to post their best CVS recipes. “When you get lemons, make lemonade,” the saying goes. Or something like that.
Here are the rules:
- Every ingredient of your CVS masterpiece must be purchasable at a PQ/GP/Chinatown CVS (there are 4 of them).
- Any cooking process is allowed. You can fry it, bake it, sear it, stir it, blend it, mix it, even aerate it. As long as it’s legal and OSHA compliant, it’s within bounds.
- Any meal type is allowed – breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, side dishes, you name it.
- No foods purchased “as is” are allowed to be the end meal. You can’t buy the Stouffer’s Mac and Cheese, nuke it and call it your CVS meal. Foods can serve as the basis for your culinary delight but you have to process it in some way.
- Extra kudos will be doled out for a 100% CVS multi-course meal – appetizer, entree and dessert.
- Posting actual recipes and links to pictures of your meal are encouraged.
- There is no prize for posting the best recipe, just the appreciation of fellow residents.
Post away !!!

7th Street Historic Row To Get More Lights
The row of historical row houses on 7th Street between G and H Streets NW is about to get brighter at night. Last night, the first light (seen at the top of the pic) was turned on, illuminating the building and the sidewalk below with great effect. Those who live in the Residences at Gallery Place can see the network of electrical outlets on the tops of the buildings across the street – each terminal is expected to receive a light. We don’t have an exact count but there should be over 10 lights. These lights are undoubtedly funded by the owner of the buildings, not the city.
We definitely welcome the additional light! Even as the sun sets earlier in the winter months, this busy street still bustles until very late. Also, pictures of the historical buildings at night should turn out better than before!
Waffle Shop’s Future Facade Unknown
Tracy sends us a link to today’s WaPo story on the old Waffle Shop at 522 10th St NW. As many people know, the whole block was recently purchased by Douglas Jemal for redevelopment. The story is heavy on nostalgia and light on what will be preserved from the shop’s facade. But, if this blogger had to trust a DC developer in preserving a facade, we’d pick Jemal. What DC developer would you pick?
