I'm thrilled and terrified to dig into N++.

Darren and I have been reminiscing about the cooperative levels in its predecessor, N+, so pain is fresh on my mind. These games are brutal but fair and so satisfying. If you're new to them, take a chance on this launch trailer -- you won't regret it. Good music, good editing, good everything.

In his review, Chris said N++ was "pretty much everything a platformer fan could want out of a sequel."

Look, PlayStation Plus' July free downloads gave us -- well, you, I don't have PS+ -- Rocket League. You aren't going to touch Rocket League.

August is a bit slight, though. Maybe it will finally convince people on a wide scale that Sound Shapes is really good and I'm sure some folks recently swayed by God of War 3 HD will like to check out the series oddity that is Ascension (on PS3, anyways). And I guess not everyone in the world has played LIMBO, we must concede.

The full lineup for August is:

Limbo (PS4)

Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris (PS4)

Sound Shapes (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)

Stealth Inc. 2 (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)

God of War: Ascension (PS3)

CastleStorm (PS3, PS Vita)

It sure feels like summer out there. Upper 90s this week? What're you up to, Pacific Northwest? There's no way I'm staying inside all day; plenty of time for that when the skies turn gray again.

The PlayStation Store summer sale can help keep me busy until cooler temperatures arrive this evening. Guacamelee! for $4.50 with PS Plus ($6 without) on PS4 is a good buy. Played that in co-op a couple of weeks ago and those Championship Edition updates were worth the double dip.

Patrick had lovely things to say about Apotheon. At $6 with PS Plus, I think I'll bite. I'm also considering Roundabout, that game about a constantly-spinning limousine with silly FMV scenes.

This weekend's Street Fighter V beta could be described as many things. Smooth isn't one of them.

Players have struggled to get past the start screen since the beta launched Thursday evening, and those that have actually managed to log in have experienced a lot of matchmaking issues.

Yesterday, I followed Maximilian Dood's Twitch stream for several hours, and while a lot of beta participants say he was luckier than most, the man still spent the vast majority of the day in training mode waiting for matches that seemed like they might never come.

Across the Internet, players reported seeing error messages numbered 21007 (meaning servers are at capacity) and 10003 (disconnects) and 22002 (unable to connect to server), among others.

Capcom gradually increased server capacity, working around the clock to solve issues and improve things, but many players were still levied complains at the publisher, saying nothing had changed.

Last night, the beta went down for scheduled maintenance, which has been extended into today:

The SFV beta will be inaccessable today as our servers are down for maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenince caused.
— Street Fighter (@StreetFighter) July 26, 2015

Capcom has yet to announce when the beta will return, but promises whenever it does, it will be extended beyond July 28 to help make up for the headaches and lost time.

This is, of course, a beta -- not a demo -- which is designed to help Capcom test its servers and make sure problems like this don't crop up on launch day. But that doesn't mean it's any less frustrating for those involved, whether they be players, programmers, or support staff.

But the rub for many is the fact that the beta's price of entry was pre-ordering the game. Capcom used the beta as an incentive to get people to put money down. And now a large number of them are disappointed. One NeoGAF user said that while they didn't expect the beta to be smooth sailing, it's nevertheless been an "unmitigated disaster" thus far.

The beta isn't over, though. And more betas still are planned for the future. So, Capcom has plenty of time to prepare for Street Fighter V's spring 2016 release and ensure this doesn't happen then.

[Space Dave! Box in progress box art by GLIΓCH RIΓUΛL]

Woah Dave! is a gaming underdog story if ever there was one. Inspired by his young son's passion of the original Mario Bros., developer Jason Cirillo's lover letter to singe-screen action games was never a sure thing. Jason recently told us that "...despite the fact that we felt very strongly that we had created a truly fun game, I think even we were a bit surprised at how well it did."

"I think the surprise came in that we knew we'd made a very simple game that would appeal mostly to more mature gamers who grew up with score-chasing arcade games in the 80s, but what we didn't expect was the general enthusiasm we got from all crowds on all platforms. It was a very big success for MiniVisions both critically and financially."

My tank is empty and it's been a rough week. Have some dirty limericks! Share your own below!

There once was a fellow McSweeny
Who spilled some gin on his weenie
Just to be couth
He added vermouth
Then slipped his girlfriend a martini

There once was a man Robin Hood
Who lived in a Knottingham wood
He learned how to fuck
from old Friar Tuck
And made Marion whenever he could

There once was a fellow O'Doole
Who found little red spots on his tool
His Doctor a cynic
said Get out of me clinic,
And wipe off that lipstick you fool!

A pirate, history relates
Was scuffling with some of his mates
When he slipped on a cutlass
Which rendered him nutless
And practically useless on dates

There once was a woman named Jill
Who swallowed an exploding pill
They found her vagina
In North Carolina
And her tits in a tree in Brazil

-Have a good Friday everyone!

Journey has been out on PlayStation 4 for a couple of days. No surprises here: it's stunning.

I didn't intend to beat it again so soon, but the game's seamless online co-op dug its hooks into me. I couldn't let my anonymous buddy down by quitting. Not a chance! Sadly, we split just before the final ascent and a replacement never showed. I had to see the ending alone. Again. One day...

I don't have a particular moment that stands out above all others; more like a general sense of warm, fuzzy feelings that I was able to connect with strangers in a video game by chirping. (That sun-soaked sliding sequence is by far my favorite bit, though. Gorgeous and exhilarating.)

What about you? Have any notable Journey stories to share?

Sega -- or someone -- made a boner (that is, a mistake) with the listed price for Tembo the Badass Elephant on PlayStation Network. The $15 game is currently listed at $40.

This will differ with your territory, mind. When I loaded up the online PlayStation Store the first time the currency was Ft, which is, I learned, Hungarian Forint. In Hungary, the game is priced correctly. But on the North American store, at least, it's $40. Sega is aware and fixing so hopefully that'll be sorted soon.

It's also not currently for sale on Steam after a handful of immediate bad reviews regarding it being kind of broken on PC and, apparently, people paying for the demo version.

One day there was a promiscuous pony, and that little whorse decided to cross the road. He had heard someone shout "HAY!" and wanted to see who it was. The voice seemed to come from down an alleyway. The little whorse grew scared though, he'd had nightmares about such things. He asked himself if this was something worth investigating and decided neigh. Just then, a figure from behind caught his eye. The figure looked familiar, but the whorse couldn't remember his mane. The fleece sweater didn't help identification either. The figure darted away from the whorse, but thankfully the little whorse was on a stable diet and could give chase!

Dashing in and out the way of carriages and other passersby, the chase continued down to the main road and ended in front of the horspital. The whorse asked the figured why it was running from him and the figure answered, "I'm not running, I'm leading." "To what?" replied the whorse. "To all these savings at Old Neighvy next to the horspital!" The little whorse just stared at the figure, unsure how to answer. He was sad that this wasn't a grand adventure, but an elaborate sales pitch. The figure, growing uncomfortable with the silence, looking good in that sweater, asked "Why the long face?"

Then a comet hit the horse planet and everyone died. They were dead.

Hey, PlayStation 4 owner, have you downloaded TowerFall Ascension yet?

It's some of the best local multiplayer you can experience on the system. Fun, chaotic, challenging co-op, too. Sony's fighting game-centric sale has you covered. $6 with PlayStation Plus, $7.50 without (that's still half price). I'm just now digging into the Dark World expansion and loving it.

The sale lasts until Monday, July 20.

Sony has announced the details today for their 2015 "PLAY" event, which takes place on the PlayStation Store from July 21 until August 11. Things will kick off with Journey on the PS4 ($14.99, $11.99 for Plus) on the first day, followed by N++ on July 28 ($19.99, $15.99 for Plus), Galak-Z on August 4 ($19.99, $15.99 for Plus), and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture on August 11 ($19.99, $15.99 for Plus).

If you buy two or more PLAY games through August 18, you'll get a coupon code for 10% off "eligible items" on the PS Store. It's an interesting lineup, as I want to see what every one of them brings to the table. I wasn't the biggest fan of Journey, but if it looks even more beautiful than it already did, it could be worth another playthrough, I guess.

I am pretty damn addicted to Rocket League at the moment (It's sad that's the last article about it from us, c'mon guys). Soccer with jet powered cars.... just works. It's the most insane, competitive fun, that I've had in a long time. I do hope some of you will join me on Steam for a match or two. I didn't think this would be something that I would be interested in at first. Once you get a match under your belt though.... Well, if you have a soul, you're hooked.

The controls are spot on, graphics are top notch, physics are believable. You can fucking jump and dodge! It's just a very well put together game. Plus: HATS! I love that my little, purple monster truck has a fireman hat! If you can't love that, then you can't love me. Put your pants back on and get the fuck out of this shed in the Home Depot parking lot, that I call home.

Rocket League is available on PS4 and on Steam (Early Access, but solid as fuck). Buy it.

Remember last Christmas when I gave you my heart when PlayStation Network and Xbox Live were down for days at a time? That was caused by a group known as Lizard Squad of which 17-year-old Julius "zeekill" Kivimaki was a member. Zeekill recently had his day in court and was found guilty of 50,700 charges -- yes, you read that right.

The punishment for committing thousands of crimes as a teenager in Finland is apparently quite elegant, as zeekill was only sentenced to a two-year suspended sentence -- basically probation -- and was ordered to fight against cybercrime. The judge might as well have sternly shook his finger at zeekill and loudly scolded "NO!"

That being said it is refreshing to see a kid be allowed to make mistakes without being treated as an adult and thrown in a broken prison system for the rest of their life, something that surely would have happened here in the United States.

What can any single one of us say about the greatness of M. Randall Antoinette of Dixonia III? What could we say that does him justice, I mean? Andy is larger than any one achievement, act, or even nipple. Andy is a God amongst men. Little is known about how Andy got the amazing powers he wielded. Some say he was born with them, some say he got them off a guy he blew outside an Indian Casino by the highway at 3am, many stories float around. We are not here to speculate though. We are here to celebrate.

As many of you celebrate freedom tomorrow, remember who gave you that freedom. Remember who sacrificed their third testicle and battled a witch dog from space, for you. Remember Andy Dixon. Remember him every time you see a sparkler. For the sparkler up his butt trick was his favorite.

Be safe this Fourth of July folks, and let's play some games!

I feel like a digital hoarder with PlayStation Plus. So much stuff I don't need and never will.

But I do need Rain, that game about a boy who is invisible unless he's in rain. Missed that back in 2013 and haven't given it any thought since. Excellence choice. The full lineup for July is:

Rocket League (PS4)

Styx: Master of Shadows (PS4)

MouseCraft (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)

Entwined (PS4, PS3, PS Vita)

Rain (PS3)

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved (PS Vita)

Curious thing about Geometry Wars 3 -- it supports co-op on the same screen. One person uses the d-pad and closest analog stick; the other uses the other analog stick and face buttons. Get cozy.

When speaking to the Retronauts podcast, Capcom opened up a bit about the PSN submission process, and Mega Man X6 happened to come up, as it's still missing on the service. According to Capcom there's music that creates licensing issues (ha), and they don't know if it's worth the effort to fix it for X6, presumably because it's one of the most hated games. Legends 1 and 2 are a higher priority.

Look, Mega Man X6 gets a ton of shit, and rightly so for the origin of the project in general, but it has its charms. It's not Mega Man X-5, I'll tell you that right now, but other than a few poorly designed stages I enjoy going back through it occasionally. It's better than X7, at least.

I'm mostly miffed about the fact that the PSN will have X4 and X5, but no 6. It was annoying to have to deal with a selection of incomplete NES Mega Man games for months on the Wii U eShop, and the PSN still doesn't have the import PSOne Classics for Mega Man 5 and 6. Either work them out ahead of time or just port the superior PS2 Collections.

Driveclub was promised to be a launch title for the PS4 and released free as part of the offerings provided for PlayStation Plus, but was delayed two weeks prior to launch and didn't end up releasing till nearly a year later. On top of that major snafu, there was plenty of confusion as to just what the difference between the retail and PS+ versions would be.

Now over eight months after the game's retail release, the PS+ version of the game has finally been launched was up for download for an hour or so before being removed from the store. This description of the PS+ version:

DRIVECLUB™ PlayStation®Plus Edition includes:

• Every DRIVECLUB™ feature: from online multiplayer matches and challenges, to offline solo racing, Tour events, customisation, replays, Photo Mode and more.
• The option to create your own races with full control over the time of day and the weather.
• Access to all 13 tracks in India, one of six locations in DRIVECLUB™.
• 15 cars for your garage.
• A full set of 27 PlayStation® trophies, including the precious Platinum.

Get more:
• To add an extra 40+ cars, 65 tracks and a vast single player campaign, upgrade to the full game version at PlayStation®Store.

The upgrade to the full version of the game will cost $24.99. Driveclub currently retails for $39.99. Welp, back to waiting then.

People with woefully poor short-term memories who take fifteen years to type in a code (read: me), rejoice - you can now redeem PSN codes directly through the PlayStation App.

The best bit? You can even redeem via a photograph of a code on your smartphone. (Well: in theory. The functionality isn't there for me as yet so I'm unable to test it, but many GeoNAFers are talking positively about the feature.)

Other tweaks to the app include the ability to open the PS Store on the Android version, and comments received while streaming from your PS4 will display on your App, too.

Today is a special day in my family. It's the 57th anniversary of a great historical event, our great-grandfather (Thomas Kinkade Jefferson Johnson), took part in. The year was 1891, and old Gangsta Herp (as Grandpa was known to the locals) had just met (then) President Woodrow Wilson. The meeting occurred in the swamplands of Idaho and concerned the growing issue of pubic hair styling. At the time, the President was in favor of the more traditional Jheri curl. Gangsta Herp however, fed up with oily pantaloons, had campaigned across the country and showing off a new style. One that would sweep the nation, and enter the hearts and minds of young and old alike.

That ladies and gentlemen, is where the mohawk comes from. Thanks Gangsta Herp.

The largest puzzle game ever? It feels like every time we hear an estimate for The Witness' length, the number grows. A lot. Designer Jonathan Blow expects "the average time of 100%ing the game to be over 70 hours." That would help explain why it's taking so long to finish the project.

"Lately, we have someone in the office playtesting The Witness," Blow said. "He had never seen the game before, but he was really good at figuring out how to solve things; a lot faster than average, I think. Today he finished the game, after 8 full-time days of playing. So, that is about 64 hours of gameplay. He didn't quite 100% the game, but he is at maybe 97%."

He continued, saying, "This is in a game with no repetition or filler ... everything you solve is different and has its own reason for being there. (If you are not a completionist, you can get to the end in much less time; it's just that there's tons of optional stuff.)"

If I'm ever the last man on earth and time loses its meaning, I'll be sure to go for 100%. Actually, knowing me, I'll get swept up in The Witness, because it looks fantastic, and try anyway.

A couple weeks ago, I saw Wattam, a near-indescribable game from Funomena and the creator of Katamari Damacy, Keita Takahashi, at a pre-E3 event. (He had excellent socks.) I'd heard that name before, Wattam, but didn't have the slightest idea what it was in terms of being a video game. I'm still foggy, if I'm being honest. This footage is something of a miracle. Please watch it.

At one point in the game, a soccer field attaches itself to your floating world. Sure, you could compete normally against a second player. But, better yet, you can bring one of the goals to life and chase after the ball, swallowing it to score a point. This is business as usual in Wattam.

I'm a huge Katamari fan, both for its unabashed silliness and for its eternally rewarding roll-a-ball-over-stuff gameplay hook. As funny as Noby Noby Boy was, I didn't feel the same connection. I soon grew restless. Wattam is similarly more toy than game, but damn if it isn't full of joy.

There's a lot of stuff going on in this trailer for EarthNight that I don't fully understand, but it sure looks and sounds cool. The PlayStation 4 and PS Vita (not endless) runner was painted by hand and "made to elevate the [genre] with console-quality depth and design." Dream big.

The team at Cleaversoft -- which now includes The Last of Us and Uncharted 3's Doug Holder -- has a blog post covering the game's content, a blend of design by hand and procedural generation. Also, an update on development: EarthNight is now looking at a late 2016 release.

If, like me, you're wondering who's responsible for the music, that'd be Chipocrite.

Moving along from our imminent doom, how is everyone? Grill up some yummy stuff for Memorial Day? Lose a day and make a wrong post? Ready to play some games? We have a pretty barren week. So, if you want to host or play something, post it in the comments. How is no one playing Splatoon? Let's get to it people!

Fair amount of PS4 love from PlayStation Plus next month including, hell yes, the turn-based strategy title Skulls of the Shogun. But folks who held out on Ground Zeroes are in for the best treat of all. It'll be nice to have that save data on PS4 ahead of The Phantom Pain.

These games will be free to download for PS Plus subscribers starting Tuesday, June 2:

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (PS4)

Skulls of the Shogun: Bone-A-Fide Edition (PS4)

Super Exploding Zoo (PS4, PS Vita)

Futuridium EP Deluxe (PS4, PS Vita)

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger (PS3)

Cloudberry Kingdom (PS3)

Having recently played some Phantom Pain (expect to hear about it from Steven and I around E3), I'm now itching to get back to the next best thing, its lead-in. My first time through, I botched just about everything that could be botched but still won, technically. Still need to master that main mission and, gosh, learn all of those extra operations. Be patient with me, Snake!

Breathtaking steel and glass penthouse
This remarkable steel and glass penthouse sits at the top of the two buildings located in Notting Hill, London with unrivaled views of Holland Park and West London. The challenge was for Richard Hywel Evans Architects (Studio RHE) to create one spectacular living space to be connected by a glass footbridge. Having accomplished this, the next stage was to create a bright, airy and versatile living space on two levels suitable for a family with the most modern, high-tech and functional demands. The final challenge was to install a glass elevator to give direct access into the apartment on two levels. Completed four years ago, this 8,072 square foot, six bedroom, four bathroom penthouse has been listed at $9,938,100 from here.

As polling is happening across the nation, we asked few TV actors about which cartoon character will they vote for to curb problems which cannot be neglected these days.
Adaa Khan who was seen in Sony TV's Encounter says - "I will vote for Captain Planet as he is powerful and can destroy the evil using his effective powers. Other than this cartoon character I will vote for Power puff girls as they kill evil. In our country where corruption is the root cause of all the problems so to curb the same an influential person should come into power to eradicate problems. So just like power puff girls who do well for the society and eradicate the major problems, so there should be a leader who would take an effort to curb such things."
Roopal Tyagi who plays Gunjan in Zee TV's Sapne Suhane Ladakpane Ke says - "I will vote for Power puff girls as they save towns and protect towns. Their courage shows that being girls even they can destroy the bad and do well for the society."
Vrinda Dawda who was seen in a cameo in UTV Bindass' Yeh Hai Aashiqui says - I will vote for Popeye as he fulfills every need of the people and has all the qualities. He can fights against all the odds. Apart from Popeye, I will vote for Power puff girls as they are the strongest of all and girl power shows their courage. I used to like all three of them Buttercup, Blossom and Bubbles - B3."
We hope that these powerful characters bring some change in our system.

We have been using Click Transfers for a number of years now and I can honestly say we have never been let down.

Launch Pad Culinary Entrepreneur Competition
Last month, I wrote about a competition that I was invited to attend as a media person, and the breakfast meet and greet that went with it. Well, the finale event of the competition was 3 weeks ago, and it was wonderful! I apologize for the delay in writing about it, but 2 days after the event I flew to Texas to keep my mother company while she recovered from surgery, and I just got back! So let's talk about this thing!
As I mentioned before, Launch Pad is a competition sponsored by Mess Hall, Ris, and Union Market to give culinary entrepreneurs a jump start. The winner of the competition would take over the Ris stall in Union Market for 6 months.
I had never been to Union Market before this, so I got there early in order to wander around. This place is so cool! They were having a farmers market outside, with live music, and inside is a series of stalls with all kinds of food. What a foodie dream!
I really wish that I lived closer to this market, because it is really cool. I hope that you DC dwellers are appreciating this!
The Launch Pad event took place in Dock5 - the event space at Union Market. It really is a big industrial loading dock that you can set up any way that you like for your event.
Vegan Three Bean Chili
I was making dinner for a vegan friend of mine and found this quick and easy recipe that sounded good. Using mostly canned products, I was not expecting it to turn out as well as it did (hence no preparation photos). We were both surprised at how much flavor this chili had. I added in some chopped leftover steak for Jasper, and he loved it too. This is definitely going into my records as cheap, easy, customizeable, and well-loved.
Vegan Three Bean Chili with Pesto
adapted from Real Simple
serves 4
1 tbsp plus 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes with Italian spices, including liquid
kosher salt and black pepper
1 15.5oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 15.5oz can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 15.5oz can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 clove garlic
3 tbsp pine nuts (you can use a less expensive nut)
1 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrots and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and their liquid, 2 cups water, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper and bring to a boil.
Add the beans and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Either finely chop the garlic, pine nuts, and parsley and combine with remaining 1/4 cup oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper in a small bowl OR put everything into a mini food processor and pulse.
Divide the chili among individual bowls and top with the pesto.

Springfield Town Center Restaurant Week
This week, July 12-19, is Restaurant Week at the newly renovated Springfield Town Center in Springfield, VA. You can check out the menus for the 5 participating restaurants here. As a member of the NoVA Yelp Elite Squad, I was invited to try out the restaurants ahead of time. We had such a fun time and ate SO MUCH FOOD, it was insane. Check out what we were served below, and make sure to stop by Springfield Town Center this week for great deals on yummy food!
Our first stop was Yard House, an American restaurant with a huge menu including a big vegetarian section, and tons of beers on tap.
They served us an Ahi tuna salad, mac and cheese, and a Moscow Mule. The tuna was really well seasoned and perfectly cooked, but I didn't care for the greens. The mac and cheese was AWESOME - the pasta was the perfect texture and it was loaded with chicken, bacon, mushrooms, and truffle oil. So good - I definitely recommend it. The Moscow mule was light and refreshing, and really lovely on a hot day.
Next up was Chuy's - OMG CHUY'S!!! Words cannot express my excitement. You see, I am from Texas and this Austin based chain is my jam. The fact that it has migrated with me to VA is just the best. The manager here was super on point and spent a lot of time talking about how they make everything fresh in house. And yes, that is a giant strawberry margarita and pina colada swirl you see there.
Ricotta and Chard Pizza
A few weeks ago, I talked about Cauliflower Crust Pizza and showed you a basic tomato and mozzarella version. Now I want to tell you about this amazing version with creamy ricotta cheese and garlicky sauteed chard.
It all starts with the chard - and luckily Melissa (Smells Like Brownies) was growing some in her yard!
Saute the chard stems in olive oil - I love how bright and colorful they are!
Then add in garlic and the leaves, which cook faster than the stems, and finish with red wine vinegar.
Top a fully cooked cauliflower crust with fresh, whole milk ricotta and the chard mixture. Enjoy!
Launch Pad Finalist Breakfast
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a breakfast in order to meet the finalists of the Launch Pad Culinary Entrepreneur Competition. Before I tell you about that breakfast, I need to explain what it was for, and that may get a little convoluted - so stick with me! Launch Pad is a competition sponsored by Mess Hall, Ris, and Union Market.
Union Market is a revitalized indoor market area and collection of restaurants near Gallaudet University in DC. It opened in September 2012 and has about 40 shops. There are plans to add multiple levels and expand it greatly to include retail, restaurants, hotel, entertainment, and incubator space for new food concepts, as well as wholesale space.
Mess Hall is the aforementioned incubator space for new food concepts, which opened in October 2014. Their mission is to "support up-and-coming food entrepreneurs by providing commercial kitchens, combined with institutional knowledge and extraordinary opportunities."
Ris is a restaurant in DC that also has a satellite location in Union Market, it is owned/operated by chef Ris Lacoste.
Are you still with me? Great!
Back to Launch Pad - it is a competition for food entrepreneurs to launch a concept in a quick service space in Union Market. The winner of the Grand Prize will receive (according to the Launch Pad website):
- 6 – 12 month opportunity to launch a dream concept using a built out space in a prime location at Union Market
- Free Mess Hall membership
- Full Service Restaurant Pop-up opportunity at Mess Hall's event space
- Mentorship from Ris Lacoste
- Consultation on lease negotiations with master DC restaurateurs the Hilton Brothers
- Business plan vetting and design services from EDENS
- A luncheon organized with successful restaurant investors
- And a growing list of unique prizes and opportunities courtesy of our event Sponsors.
- PLUS – All finalists will have their knives sharpened by DC Sharp.
Pretty great, right?! This is the second year for the competition, and last year the winner was Mason Dixie Biscuit Company.
You know what else is great? The list of judges and advisers for the finalists:
Al Goldberg – Founder, Mess Hall
David Hall – Investor, Revolution
Ris Lacoste – Chef / Owner, RIS

Now, let's talk about the finalists and the meet-and-greet breakfast event at Ris restaurant! There were lots of bloggers and media people there, but plenty of opportunity to speak with the finalists individually.
Food 'n Flix: Butter
I finally got my act together in time to post for Food 'n Flix, ha! I really need to work on that! Anyway, this month's movie is Butter - hosted by Cheap Ethnic Eats. This hilarious movie is about wealth, race, privilege, power, family, small town America, and (of course) butter. I'd seen it before, and enjoyed it so much that I didn't mind renting it again just to look for food references. Which, by the way, are few and far between other than the ubiquitous butter.
So what was I going to make that would feature butter? I came up with a few ideas, but I kept circling back to these apple dumplings (even though I'd posted about them before). They really are perfect for this movie, though - a little bit redneck, totally unhealthy, and drenched in butter.
The dumplings are actually really easy to make. I like them best when they are fresh and the sugar on top is still crunchy, so I tend to make half a recipe one day and the other half the next day - which is why you will only see 4 dumplings in the photos. Start by peeling and coring an apple, then cutting into 8 slices.
Cauliflower Crust Pizza
I give full credit to Melissa (Smells Like Brownies) for this idea. I'd heard of cauliflower pizza crust before and thought I should try it, but I never got around to it. So I was really glad when she brought it up and suggested we try it.
It turns out that cauliflower crust is really easy! It doesn't taste or feel like traditional crust, but it is yummy and chewy - I liked it! I was surprised that I could actually pick up a slice and it held together. So whether you are gluten-free, looking for low-carb, or just like to try new things, I highly recommend this pizza crust!
The first step is to pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until very fine. Then place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave to steam. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and transfer to a cheesecloth lined colander to cool. Once it is cool enough to handle, twist the cloth and squeeze to release as much moisture as possible. Like really squeeze this thing to death, I'm not joking. You may need to take turns with a cooking buddy like we did.
When you've removed as much moisture as you can, add mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper, salt, and an egg. Use your hands to combine into a dough.
Fish Tacos with Chipotle Mayo and Coleslaw
You know what is very summery? Tacos. Especially fish tacos. Melissa and I were looking for something light and fresh, with a lot of flavor and texture. So we cobbled together a bunch of different ideas and came up with these gorgeous tacos!
We started out by marinating mahi-mahi with tequila, lime juice, garlic, red onion, and cumin. Yum, yum, yum! We chose mahi-mahi because it is a mild white fish that will take on a marinade and stand up to searing.
We wanted a good sear on the outside, so we sauteed it at high heat for a short time, let it rest, and then flaked it into big pieces with forks.
We also wanted to make our own condiments, and came up with a lime and crema (Mexican sour cream with tons of flavor) coleslaw and a chipotle mayo, along with avocado, pickled onions, cotija cheese, and cilantro (or parsley for me).
NoVA Wineries
We didn't have any plans for the holiday weekend, but we heard that our favorite local winery (Fabbioli Cellars) was having a 10% case discount, so we decided to do a little wine trip.
We started with Fabbioli, and got a tasting. Apparently it's been 4.5 years since we last went out there, crazy. We normally just order online or through Whole Foods. In that time, their tasting price has gone up from $5 to $15, and the pours are much smaller. But they now include a small bite of food with each wine, encouraging you to sip, eat, and then sip again to taste the difference. I loved that. And the bites were delicious, too! So I'd say it all works out for the better. The tastings are still run in small groups, so that you get personalized attention, and our girl was very friendly and knowledgeable.
The first wine was Una Pera - a sweet white made with Asian pears (they actually place the bottle around a young pear and let it grow inside the bottle, it's pretty cool). This was paired with a pea puff topped with honeyed goat cheese and a sweet potato crisp.
Next was Something White (a joke from people asking the owner when he was going to start making "something white") - a Viogner and Vidal Blanc blend, paired with mascarpone and sea salt caramel on a cracker.
The first red was a light Sangiovese, that is good for hot weather and as a table wine - pared with grilled asparagus and garlic cheddar, wrapped in prosciutto.
Next was a dry Zinfandel (our least favorite), paired with a roasted beet crisp and salted ginger thyme butter.
The Tre Sorelle was also dry - Jasper liked it, I didn't. It was paired with goat cheese, rosemary, and smoked sundried tomato on a saltine.
The first of the dessert wines was the Raspberry Merlot, made with raspberries grown on property. I'm fond of this sweet table wine, Jasper is not. It pairs beautifully with chocolate, and the bite they provided us was, in fact, a dark chocolate truffle.
Last was Jasper's favorite (he orders it by the case, and has been known to drink a whole bottle in one evening) - Rosa Nera, a black raspberry port. They served it with a lemon honey truffle - I wouldn't have thought to go with such a bright lemon flavor, but it really worked.
I love the small bite tasting idea, it makes me really want to host a tasting at my house and do something similar.
We brought some salami and cheese with us, to have a picnic lunch before moving on to the next winery. We got a late start, and spent so long at Fabbioli, that we only got to visit one other place before heading home.
That place was Sunset Hills Vineyard, which Jasper chose because it had won some awards. It was hopping when we arrived - people camped out everywhere, picnicking, listening to live music, playing frisbee. The grounds are large and beautiful, so it's a great place to hang out, plus they had a BBQ truck! There was a wedding going on in the main building, too.
The tastings were in a barn-like structure with some big fans that I appreciated greatly in the heat, making it shaded and breezy. They were $10 and featured 6 wines. Unfortunately, we weren't a fan of any of them. There was one white that I liked (Sunset White - tasted like a sweet Gewurztraminer) and one red that both of us liked (the Cabernet Franc blend), but not enough to warrant buying anything or returning to the winery.
They had these big frozen slushee machines making "wineritas" with Chardonnay and margarita mix. So I tried one of those and it was actually pretty good. We also got some ribs at the BBQ truck and they had good flavor, but weren't very tender. So I think this would be a fun spot to have some wineritas with girlfriends and listen to live music, but it's not really worth it for the wine alone.

This was our first time dealing with Garden Grocer and the customer service was top notch! Any time I had questions, needed to make changes to my shopping list or change date and time on delivery, they were always there immediately changing it for me to make sure that our groceries were exactly as we ordered them and delivered to us on time so that our trip was made that much easier!
We did a last minute order for our week at Disney and everything was great. Delivery was on time and they were super easy to work with online. Thank you!
Worked fantastic for us! We stayed at Disney and did not have to rent a car to have groceries for our room. Groceries were in our room upon our arrival.

Jill Abramson Fighting Back as New York Times Publisher Denies Dismissal Due to Pay Disparity
The former executive editor's daughter posted an Instagram photo in response to a report that Abramson was asked to leave in part due to her "pushy" behavior.
Jill Abramson is fighting back -- at least as part of her workout.
Abramson's daughter, Cornelia Griggs, posted the below photo to Instagram of the former New York Times executive editor, whose surprise ousting from the paper this week shocked the media world. She is seen wearing boxing gloves and working out with a punching bag.
2014 NY Media Power List: Jill Abramson, David Carr and A.O. Scott
The caption reads, "Mom's badass new hobby," followed by the hashtags #girls and #pushy.
The photo appears to be a response to Ken Auletta's highly cited report in The New Yorker that Abramson was let go because of her "pushy" behavior.
The Times announced Wednesday that Abramson, the first woman to serve as executive editor, was stepping down after nearly three years in the role. She was replaced by former Los Angeles Times editor Dean Baquet, who most recently served as the New York Times' managing editor.
Since then, various rumors and reports have emerged about what really prompted Abramson's abrupt dismissal, with Auletta claiming Abramson had approached Times management about her compensation after discovering that she was making less than her male predecessor Bill Keller. That confrontation, Auletta wrote, "may have fed into the management's narrative that she was 'pushy,' a characterization that, for many, has an inescapably gendered aspect."
Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., meanwhile, has denied that Abramson was being paid significantly less than her predecessors.
STORY: New York Times' Top Editor Jill Abramson Abruptly Replaced
Sulzberger Jr. wrote in a staff memo that Abramson's pay was "comparable to that of earlier executive editors."
He added that neither compensation nor any discussion thereof played into his decision to ask Abramson to step down. Instead, Sulzberger said the only reason he decided to let Abramson go was "concerns I had about some aspects of Jill's management of our newsroom, which I had previously made clear to her, both face-to-face and in my annual assessment."
Meanwhile, the Times is working to stem any staff concerns about sexism at the company, in the wake of Auletta's report of a pay disparity between Abramson and her male predecessors and his reference to her "pushy" personality.
Senior Times editors met with employees to reiterate the company's rationale for dismissing Abramson, the paper reported, adding that the decision did not reflect sexism and was not about pay disparity.
Abramson is also a member of The Hollywood Reporter's 2014 New York media power list.

On The Circular Firing Squad That Seems To Have Encompassed The Whole Republican Party These Days…
On a lot of issues in DC, conservatives don't have a party that represents their views — except when there's an election and Republicans need our money, manpower and help. The moment they get what they want from us, they forget everything they promised to do and act as if we're being unreasonable if we ask them to live up to their word.
When the Republican Party starts trying to represent the people who put them into office and becomes more determined to beat the Democrats than to beat those damn dirty, grassroots conservatives who make their job so hard by actually believing in things, then we can stop knife fighting them and move forward.

Covered yesterday and adding more long today.. This could be up 40% in a day easy.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I would rather be short a big position and to fight a trend like this one has just been silly, but it has been good but this is very crowded on the short side, so I sold today.. I will be back at higher levels when the market has a real bad day, which it will, it always does, then goes back up and TVIX back down. Good luck all.

My mother has bought several items from Woolovers and has always been extremely pleased with them. She purchased a slinky polo jumper in black to wear under other clothing as it is so light but really warm. She bought me a lambswool polo neck jumper in winter white which is really comfortable and looks very stylish. The neck is quite high so she suggested rolling it down twice which has done the trick and I am looking forward to wearing it with a brightly coloured scarf when the colder weather sets in. I would certainly

"We have been using Dialysis Jobs Weekly for about six months now. We received more qualified applicants through this site than we were getting from CareerBuilder. We liked it so much we connected it to our applicant tracking system so all jobs would show on the site. It's a great service and the price cannot be beat. "

DSI Renal, Inc.
"With a limited budget we were hesitant to try this new site, but the price was so reasonable we decided to give it a shot. They have clearly done a great deal to increase their exposure in the market and pull in candidates. With this increased exposure I am finding that more and more candidates are listing dialysisjobsweekly.com as their source as they apply. Our investment in this job board has already paid for itself and I have no doubt by the time our contract is up it will have done so again and again. "

Scandal's Bride (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
How can an honourable lady like Lady Catriona Hennessy unite with a rake like Richard Cynster? Though charmed by his commanding presence, she cannot give up her independence. Marriage had not previously been on Richard′s agenda, but perhaps taming the lady was just the challenge he needs - if he can have the rights of the marriage bed without making any revealing promises of love?

On the nose, faint aromas of purple fruit and an initial whiff of alcohol. On the palate, very subtle (almost fragile) blue and purple fruit flavors. Especially light and lithe for a Carlisle Syrah. It was definitely missing some of the olive, bay leaf, and forest floor complexities I have found characteristic of Mike Officer's other Syrahs (e.g.: Papa's Block or Rosella's).
I made the mistake of decanting this wine; after an hour, what fruit had been there was virtually undetectable, instead replaced by strong cedar and wood notes. Tannins had subsided to the point that the wine offered very little by the final sips. I would suggest not only drinking now, but also limiting service to a PnP with immediate consumption. I do not recommend decanting or letting O2 get the best of what fruit is left in this wine.

Dark, cool climate syrah with North Rhone sensibilities. Somewhat rustic structure with dusty tannins and savory notes.
Very nice, and drinking beautifully right now. Dark purple-red. Raspberry, a little strawberry twizzler, some basil, smoke. Full bodied, not too heavy, nice balance. Delicious.
Nice syrah, not a great qpr but enjoyable. The body came across as a little thin but overall on the palate it was quite tasty.
3 hour decant. Nice blue/black fruit, tea flavor and mild tannins. Had it with grilled beef steak but I think a pork tenderloin with Asian spices would have been a better match. Nice wine.

Disinfect Your Keyboard
Keyboards, particularly those shared by multiple people, harbor huge quantities of bacteria. If you want to reduce the chances of picking up your co-worker's cold, you can disinfect your keyboard with disinfecting wipes. To avoid damage to the keyboard, be sure to:
- Unplug the keyboard before disinfecting it.
- Squeeze out any excess liquids from the cloth to avoid liquid dripping into the keyboard.
- Don't let any liquid from the wipe sit for long periods of time on the keyboard.
- Don't scrub the keyboard, just lightly wipe down. Rubbing too hard leaves behind more lint.
- Avoid cleansing cloths that contain bleach.
