Why would anyone add ketchup to chili when a good amount of the recipe already has tomatoes in it? I like to add a little sour cream, shredded cheese, and diced scallions to top of my chili.

Yup. This reminds me a little of some of the Native American pow wows (summer/fall) that we've visited down through the years. (The Native American sponsors invite in everyone to enjoy a nice day; it's not just limited to the Native American people in the area.) Visitors bring all kinds of food--veggies, meats, etc. and they just throw everything into a huge pot of boiling water over the fire, and make a community meal. Tastes pretty good, too--and there's never any "recipe" used!

My dad used to call it "slop".
(Of course he did!)
There's a little deja vu for me in your comment. My father used to LOVE what he referred to as "sloppy" meals. Anything with gravy or a soup-type base, that he could also take some bread and sop up the last little bit on the plate, was his absolute favorite style of meal!!

That's a lovely picture you shared. I do think you're short-changing Wash. DC a little bit, though. Have you ever seen the nation's capitol in cherry blossom time in the spring? It's gorgeous.

In the seven trips we've taken, none of us have ever gone, or come back sick.
Knock on wood (my head
Actually, I've come back ill twice, out of all the trips I've made. One time, I had vertigo, and the doctor I saw back at home, asked me about what I ate, what I did, etc. We suspect it was because of the multiple times I was on Rock N Roller Coaster (inverted upside down loops) and Mission Space (orange--the intense side). Really messed up my balance, etc. Had to take some medicine and I was o.k. after about a week. (Since then, I'll only ride RNR Coaster once during my entire trip, and Mission Space (tamer, green side only now).
The second time I was ill, was entirely different. Doctor thought I had some sort of wacko parasite perhaps from some water I drank from a water bubbler in the park, for example. I was nauseous, exhausted, etc. for weeks, and could only work about 5 hours a day for about a month (I'd come home and just crash on the sofa). Took a good 30 days before I was feeling well and strong again. Bizarre.

Subway - ham and turkey on parm/oregano (?) with lettuce, onions, pickles, one thin squirt of diet mayo, two squirts of sub sauce.

Never been to Ottawa, would love to. When I was a little kid, it was pronounced Ottawatta.
But you're right over the city being more beautiful than DC. Cherry Blossoms, probably, but that's only 1 month out of the year. I feel like D.C is not inviting due to the extreme amounts of security.

It must be because whatever I have to say, is worth hearing again. Those not in the know might want to take notes!Look at you double posting in a desperate bid for double likes.
Good thing I like you twice as much.
Twice as much as what though? That is the question.

I haven't seen DC in cherry blossom season. My preference for Ottawa is mostly a matter of personal taste. I'm not a big fan of Neoclassical architecture. To be honest I don't like the US Capitol Building at all. I much prefer gothic and chateauesque architecture. The Centre Block of Parliament is one of my favorite buildings in the world.
Plus Ottawa is more laid-back and peaceful than DC. Hoping it stays that way despite the tragedy last October.

You should defiantly go see Ottawa, especially if you have any interest in Canadian history. Don't let anyone tell you Canadian history is boring.

This is my favorite building in DC, about a 3 minute walk from where I am right now. This is an old photo - the stretch of Penn Ave. shown in the lower left is closed to traffic now.

Oh lovely.
Freezing rain and sleet mixture RIGHT when I'm supposed to be commuting home! Yippee!
Hoping second school opts to close early. Hoping, but not counting on it.
