Free Doughnuts! And Coffee!

Need some incentive to get you through work on Friday?

D.C.'s newest doughnut purveyor, Fractured Prune, will be giving away free coffee and doughnuts on Friday from 4 to 8 p.m. (There's also free Internet, but that part will stay free.) Saturday is the shop's official opening day with hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The Ocean City, Md.-based chain distinguishes itself from the competition with its made-to-order, custom doughnuts. Choose your glaze (like honey, banana, chocolate, maple, cherry and mocha), some toppings (rainbow sprinkles, coconut and Oreo cookie, to name a few) and, as if you didn't already have enough sweetness, your sugar, including powdered, granulated and cinnamon.

The word is spreading...the word is spreading! I'll be there!

They have free wi-fi too? Had I known this before I would've brought my laptop with me!

Awesome! Though I suspect this will still be mostly an Ocean City-only treat for me.

Last time I was there, I tried something new and it was good enough to go on my standing order list. I think of it as Mexican Chocolate -- a chocolate-glazed donut dipped in cinnamon sugar.

Darn it I missed it what was the verdict? Are they any good?

Yes, anonymous, they're really good. Hot and fresh out of the fryer. Doused with whatever topping(s) you desire. Sweet and finger-lickin' good.

"Hot" would be a key word for me today.

STYLE } Bar Styling Tips with Framebridge

Image
  I've always been noncommittal when it come to putting anything on my walls. Art? Photos? Prints? But what if I change my mind? Add the hassle of framing something and voila, a growing pile of unframed prints and photos gathers dust on a shelf. So I much appreciated a recent gentle nudge from friends at  Framebridge , a DC-based company that's making it easier and less expensive to get those pretty-if-neglected pieces framed and on display. We hung out at my place, whipped up some Green Hat gin and tonics, and I shared tips for stocking and styling your bar at home. (Any old table will do!) And yes, I actually put a nail in the wall and hung a print. Head this way for my full interview with Framebridge . Cheers! all photos by  Laura Metzler Photography  for Framebridge

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

Image
I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt. The feast included fried chicken, boiled peanuts ( made by my husband !), Rappahannock' s Olde Salt oysters, deviled eggs topped with Gordy's Sweet Pepper Relish, and probably the best fried pickles I've ever eaten (yes, I've eaten a lot) ... Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...
