Get your mandoline out, try to not slice off your fingertips, and add that extra belt notch, because we’re talking heavy cream, thick cheese, and thin vegetables slices ladies and gents; we’re making a gratin. To start, get 2-2.5 cups of heavy cream simmering in a small pot. Add fresh […]
Once again, we find ourselves on the brink of a government shutdown. But what does that really mean for you? Your mail will still come on time. But don’t plan to flee to warmer climates, passport services will be delayed. National Parks will close, so no recreation for you… But […]

Recently, Buzzfeed published 29 Hill Staffer Problems. Well, believe it or not, lobbyists have problems too. Being a lobbyist is pretty awesome… 20. …except when your office is in Virginia. And you have 10 Hill meetings a day. During a fly-in. In August. 19. Or when you set up a […]
