I subscribe to Gwyneth Paltrow’s blog GOOP. This morning -to my delight- I saw she is featuring San Francisco in her GO section. In terms of restaurants, Gwen, her friends, and I have the same taste (Gwen, let’s hang out!) including the Ferry Building, Slanted Door, SPQR, Tartine, and more. She also details the best places to stay and shop in the city by the bay. A great follow up to the first installment of Travel Tuesday’s.
The Foster Harris House is a little Bed & Breakfast in Washington, Virginia. It holds a special place in the hearts of EatMore DrinkMore bloggers, I am an avid user of their cookbook, the Foster Harris House Cookbook; and Missy has stayed at the Foster Harris House a couple times and is even featured in their cookbook! (In case you missed, Missy’s earlier post on the Foster Harris House, you can check it out here)
The next time you want to get a weekend away from the big city, visit Virginia Wine Country, and perhaps enjoy a meal at the world famous Inn at Little Washington, check out the Foster Harris House. (Fun fact about your EatMore DrinkMore Bloggers, both Missy and Lindsey ate at the Inn at Little Washington, the night they got engaged.) How could you not like a B&B that serves a four course breakfast?
I borrowed a copy of the Foster Harris House Cookbook from Missy (you can buy yours here), and I have been reluctant to give it back. The recipes are simple, delicious, and elegantly photographed. I highly recommend the Cilantro Garlic Shrimp recipe, and their cornbread, is simply the best cornbread, I have ever had. Also included in the cookbook is paradise bacon, which is bacon covered in a chipolte raspberry glaze. Mmmmm glazed bacon…………

There is nothing more I love in the summer than grilled fish tacos. I found a few recipes for ahi tuna tacos online and modified them for my own preferences. I REALLY recommend buying good ahi. My favorite place (and one of the cheapest) to get ahi is the fish market on the SW waterfront. If you live in Arlington it is just a quick drive into the city. Totally worth it to avoid being completely ripped off by Whole Foods. I served this along with a shaved corn and tomato salad with smoked paprika. Recipe after the jump.
