Fig Leaf, not Big Leaf
Dining@LargeHere's the link to my Artscape story on the Green Food Court. If you read it in the print edition, you'll notice that the Fig Leaf Farm is called the 'Big Leaf Farm' in the photo caption, although it's OK...... -
My excellent Artscape adventure
Dining@LargeI was sent to Artscape today to come back, quickly, with a good food story for tomorrow's paper. And not to be too long writing it because my editors wanted to go home at a reasonable hour. So what was......Tags: Vehicles, Arable Farming, Charles Theatre

Clearing off my virtual desk for the weekend
Dining@LargeI get a lot of e-mails from regulars with great ideas for posts -- so many it's hard to get to them all in a timely fashion. First of all, thank you. I'm sorry if I've missed some. (This has......Tags: Nora Ephron, Washington Post Company, Federal Hill, Safeway Inc., George Bush

Support your local festival food vendor

VIP Artscape kickoff party

Musical rules were made to be broken at An die Musik event
Sun Music CriticMusic history is filled with composers who methodically followed the rules - this chord can't follow that chord, this type of theme must be balanced by that type of theme, this structure must be built only that way.
