December 15-16: Stay at Home Edition

Not as many market postings as last week, but I found two this weekend that are enticing enough to brave the predicted gross RISS (rain/ice/sleet/snow) mix expected. Metro will have their de-icing trains ready to run.

Saturday, Dec. 15

Hilda's Giftshop on the lower level

Sunday, December 16

Fresh Farm Market
1500 block of 20th St.
9am-1pm
Between Massachusetts Ave. and Q St.
In the adjacent parking lot of PNC Bank.

Last Sunday to buy Holiday Trees from Little Scrub Ridge at market. Also the last Sunday to get Chris' crab cakes before Christmas!

Whether you want a Holiday Tree for your apartment or house Little Scrub Ridge have the tree for you.

If you haven't tasted Chris' crab cakes you're missing out on the best crab cakes in the District. All you have to do is pop them in the toaster oven and broil for 12-15 minutes and you have lunch or dinner.

Remember all events are free unless otherwise noted.
