Washington, DC

Washington D.C.’s status as the nation’s capital is largely due to a dinner hosted at the home of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson met with James Madison and Alexander Hamilton to negotiate the relocation of the Capitol from New York City. Originally chosen by George Washington for both its natural beauty and the navigability of the Potomac River, the District is bordered by Maryland and Virginia. The influence held in the District of Columbia over the nation’s eating and drinking habits is literally immeasurable. The Food and Drug Administration regulates food products across the United States, assuring food safety through the enforcement of guidelines. Due to its cosmopolitan nature and being host to a number of foreign embassies, Washington D.C. is awash in restaurants featuring cuisines from around the world.

Turkey Goulash

Reviewed on jun. 24, 2009 by 4everhungry 
Very tasty. I followed other suggestions and added minced onion, Italian seasoning, dried basil, garlic powder, and a dash of paprika. We used quinoa elbow pasta. Very healthy and yummy.

Brown Sugar Chocolate Crackle Cookies

Reviewed on jun. 24, 2009 by windband 
I've made them twice. The first time they turned out great, tasted like cookies. The second time they were a little too soft, more like brownies in cookie shape. overall they are like brownies, smelled like brownies when baking. A little sweet.

Seven-Layer Gelatin Salad

Reviewed on jun. 24, 2009 by windband 
It was really pretty easy even took a lot of time. I used the four flavors called for, but sugar free type, light sour cream, and only 1/2 cup of sugar. For each layer, I waited about 45 min for it to set. It was very beautiful and tasted summery! A light dessert for summer! However, if not for people who like gelatin, they could be skeptical about eating it, even though they keep saying how pretty it is...
