And do not sleep on the slushies! While, I’ve mentioned the reubens, now I can also plug the pastrami with coleslaw on a toasted sesame bun. Get in my belly!! And if slushies don’t scratch your sweet tooth this oughta make you smile:
“Huw Griffith, a Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington “Pastry Chef of the Year” honoree, has been named executive pastry chef of Soapstone Market, a community marketplace located in the Van Ness area of Washington DC.
A neighborhood market with communal space, a cafe and a bar, Soapstone Market is located at 4465 Connecticut Avenue, two blocks north of the Van Ness Metro. In addition to specialty foods and groceries, Soapstone Market offers a deli, coffee bar, butcher shop, wine and beer section, and a selection of prepared foods that may be ordered for take-out or for dining in its sit-down bistro. House-made sandwiches, burgers and fried chicken may be ordered from the deli menu.
Griffith, the 2007 RAMMY Pastry Chef awardee when he served as executive pastry chef at Tabard Inn, also was tapped as a semi-finalist for Outstanding Pastry Chef by the James Beard Foundation. He has extensive experience in classic and contemporary dessert techniques, pastries, breads and bakeshop production.
His patisserie menu at Soapstone Market includes more than 15 varieties of cakes from a chocolate hazelnut praline Dacquoise to a milk chocolate Dulce de Leche cheesecake to a chocolate toffee bread pudding. Equally impressive is his list of pies and tarts which includes a coconut Key Lime pie, a lemon fig Linzer torte and a butterscotch cream pie. Cupcakes, donuts, strudel, puddings and turnovers are part of his “bits and bobs” menu. Finally, he creates savory meat pies and Cornish pastry.
A large selection of bakery goods are available every day. A variety of sourdough donuts are made every weekend. Custom patisseries may be made to order.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
