Daily Goods: Goodness It's Monday

A review of the weekend's food, flicks, and philandering as a pick-me-up for Monday Morning:

• The Husband and I along with CityGirl went to Michael Richard's new dive, Meatballs, in Penn Quarter.  Between the three of us we tried the classic, chicken, lamb, and crab meatballs.  I think the consensus was that the chicken meatballs were the best, followed by the classic.  The crab balls were nearly 100% crab without much filler, which we appreciated, although their flavor was a bit lacking as compared to the other offerings. 
• We then saw J. Edgar, which was a bit underwhelming.  The Husband attributes this to the writers being overly ambitious in terms of the ground covered.  
• We enjoyed stopping by birthday party hosted by the Muse in the H Street corridor. The Muse had a nice spread of food and drink, including specially spiced tater tots (which we hear are making a comeback). 
• And, then, of course, there was football.  We were pleased to see our alma mater pull it out over Kansas.  We had a bit of shadenfreude when Fake Army lost to Kansas State.  And, we were elated at the Dallas Cowboys win.
