It appears Dr. Ghaffari bought out Dr. William Thomas’ booming ortho practice after Dr. T shockingly and unexpectedly committed suicide back in 2008. Dr.T was one of the best and most accomplished orthodontists in the country, and he was right in our own backyard.

Peking Café in Annandale, China Taste in Fair Lakes and China King in Fairfax Towne Center are the worst chinese restaurants I've ever been to. The food is terrible. Avoid these places and go to Pho Bac in Chantilly, Metrotech Drive, under new management. Pho is Pho-king delicious.

I do all of the cooking/bread baking in the household and I can’t recall the last time a bought a loaf of bread. Buy a copy of Reinhart’s Bread Baker’s Apprentice, and it’ll walk you through the basics. You can buy bread flour and both yeast types cheaper in Walmart, and I use the Wilton loaf pans from Bed Bath and Beyond. I have the pricier GoldTouch pans from Williams-Sonoma but I don’t seem

Trader Joes has excellent offerings. Depends upon which store you go to size-wise. Their pricing is some of the most competitive and the goods/quality they offer are above average in comparison to the mega-marts. Hericot verts are 1.99/lb. and many of the prepared frozen foods, not only taste exponentially better, but also come with a reasonable price tag.

You notice the pet project Keystone Pipeline has received zero press coverage now that petrol prices have plummeted. No ammo in the chamber/rationale for siphoning dirty oil across the US to moolah-making refineries along the gulf coast.

Ever since Giant Food was acquired by Ahold they’ve been on an inexorably steady decline. Right now Giant is trying to eliminate the meat cutter’s position with a paltry-ish 40K buyout or something like that. They can’t undo the position outright because of the union issue, hence the maneuver. They want to do the meat cutting at the factory (cheap Hispanic labor) and ship the meat precut to the s

I relocated from the area for years, but I remember an interview about 10 years ago (think it was WTOP?) and the guy mentioned that 98% of the households of Langley students had at least one parent with a masters degree or higher.

Pretty incredible, but I once came across an Asian woman who stopped dead in the left lane of I-66 Westbound at the Rt.50 exit (Fair Oaks Mall) and had her blinker turned on to go right so that she could make the exit. One motorist avoided slamming the abruptly stopped driver ahead of him/her and ran their car into the jersey barrier….You can’t fix stupid. Edit: Faded TJHS bumper sticker on the

Don’t really banquet on fast food much, but some FYI here. Growing up I always heard they were cooked in lard and never heard of the beef tallow. The golden arches nixed the beef tallow due to the aforementioned controversy, but replaced it with beef products in the flavoring at the processing plant. http://rense.com/general7/whyy.htm "..."Their distinctive taste does not stem from the kind of

I've done both Wegmans in Fair Oaks and the Balducci's in McLean. They were both good and had the homecooked taste. Warning...the Balducci's on T-Day is a madhouse and expect a long line stretching out the door into the parking lot. Get there early.
