Food Rockz: Cherry Blossoms Blooming

Food Rockz

A blog about food and drink in DC and elsewhere

Food Rockz Man
I'm a thirty-something guy living, eating and cooking for fun in Washington, DC. I'll be abusing ellipses and writing regularly about my appreciation for locally grown/produced food and the chefs/home cooks who use it . . . and other delicious food too. All photos on the blog were taken by yours truly, unless otherwise noted. Out of respect for the creators and for copyright reasons, I don't reprint the published recipes of others. The recipes detailed here are mine and those of family and friends who give me permission to blog them.

I can be reached at foodrockzman(at)foodrockz.com.

What's with the *s?
In an effort to hightlight the abundance of local foodstuffs, all ingredients grown/raised/produced in the Chesapeake Bay region are marked with an asterisk(*). I'm sure there's great food grown/raised/produced in your region. Get out there to a farmers market and show your regional producers some love.

  I did the photo shoot right after brunch, so I was too full to eat any buds or flowers. But DC's about to explode with cherry blossoms, so I'll have plenty of opportunity to eat some in the coming weeks. They're not poisonous, are they?

    The leaves of the tree are definitely poisonous, don't know about the blossoms. Maybe have your snack near a local ER?

  Look at you and your "What was your subsection . . . ummm, I mean F-Stop?" You're really turning into a dork! Your past criticisms of my geekiness have lost all credibility! I was shooting with my lens wide open . . . f/3.5.
