The crepe man beginneth his crepe-making at Crepes at the Market (ingenious name! Ingenious!)
The crepe man at Crepes at the Market (ingenious nam- oh wait, we've done that already) maketh a crepe with ham, apple, cheese, and his, um, squirty sauce of savouriness.
The gorgeous L.FoodieFulbright decides not to do a Dine and Dash, whilst L.MiteMaster plots how best to dispose of an Australian blogger's body.
If this is not the clearest reference to "Women's Troubles" (*shakes hand to the side dismissively*) in existence, I don't know what is. At Capitol Hill Books.
A poodle in a clothes-and-antiques store, which reminded me of...
The poodle in a chocolate shop in Boston. What is it with Americans, sleeping poodles, and retail areas? (P.S. Could someone please pass me the Chinita and Michel Cluizel bars in the background? All of them? Ta.)
But most importantly, does it sparkle? And teach young women and men that watching unsuspecting people while they sleep and getting beaten up when being... affectionate (*ahem*) is fine-and-dandy? I, for one, won't deign to drink it unless it does.
lulz, I love the caption on the vampire wine. DC looks like it was fun… I was born there, but didn’t spend nearly enough time in that city while I lived in the US.
Great photos, great captions … love the poodles. Never seen a such a terrier-looking poodle in my life before but it sure is cute.
Looks like a great market!
so many things i love: DC, crepes, and markets! lucky girl!
Theresa: It was lots of fun, particularly as this time (weeks after my earlier photos) I was with someone from Ashburn who knows DC well! But wait a second, what are you saying… are you not one of the legions of ladies with an RPattz shrine hidden in your house?
Whisperinggums: Thanks. I know of a cuter poodle though
Simply Life: It is – and there’s jewellery, groceries, a flea market and all kinds of knick-knacks there too!
Stef: It’s the DC trifecta!
Definitely a fun experience!
Hey, remember, you were the DC Insider *and* the Parking Lot Insider! We would have never found the car without you.
And for more fun, check out the popular DC Interns blog, where fellow interns like Ms. “It’s-where-all-the-DC-insiders-hang-out!” made regular appearances:

Note: All Capitol Hill interns wear bright flashy red badges, which they display proudly (and with a gross sense of self-importance) at inappropriate moments.
LOL at that “women’s business” sign. I do love a good crepe, do you know what that mystery sauce was?
Lauren: Ah yes, my Washington Insider status! Also, I shall never forget being the one with the innate sense of where we parked. It has never happened before, and I fear it never shall again.
P.S. That “shotgun” post is hilarious.
Lorraine: I lied, Lorraine, I lied! It wasn’t a squirty sauce of savouriness at all! It was maple syrup! *hides face in shame* So, do you think you’d love a ham, apple, muenster cheese and maple syrup crepe? (Personally, I think the crazy Japanese crepes with ice cream, fruit, cream, cheesecake, and fruit all in one are more intriguing
)
That establishment could only be improved by being named “CREPES AT THE MARKET!” with capital letters and an exclamation mark. Or, even better, “Crepes! At the Market!”
Or “Crepes? At the market.”
Or “Crepes – At the Market??”
…wow…so many possibilities. I love punctuation so much :’(
L-Izzle: Don’t we all. Now I’m regretting not putting up one of my other crepe stand photos. I shall transcribe, in exact detail, the sign that made me want to post it in the first place:
“CAUTION!!!!
CONES ARE
EXTREMELY
HOT !!!!
PLEASE GET
PAPER
TOWEL
BEFORE
GRABBING”
I particularly like the liberal use of exclamation marks at the beginning and the lack of them at the end. It’s almost like the crepe people are leaving the choice of what to “grab” to their customers.
What can I say, I don’t go for poorly written and thinly veiled religious novels featuring angsty teens — vampires or not. Though I did see the first movie on a flight between QLD and England, and thought it was pretty ordinary…
To be honest, I’m surprised the vampire wine isn’t a red.
Theresa: *laughs* Touché! I laughed throughout the entire movie, particularly the part where Bella’s hair wafts in the breeze from the fan and Edward pulls the most ridiculous face.
…
Oh dear no. No no no. I took that photo and wrote that caption as a complete joke off the top of my head, but look at this: http://www.wickedwinesonline.com/product.php?productid=16312
I feel dirty.
Well naturally. The white is maybe for vegetarian vamps.
Or the under-age ones?
I’ve bought that wine! The Merlot, though. And though I bought it at Halloween time for the novelty of the name/label, I ended up really liking it. I’d drink it again.
Amber: Oh golly. I can hardly blame you – I probably would have bought it as a joke if I’d had an opportunity to use it. Am saddened that it was good, though.
(And yet I’d buy Butterbeer in a heartbeat, if I could.)
