World class queso

Like many others, my husband and I had takeout Mexican yesterday to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. We ordered from a local independent restaurant in Alexandria - our favorite - and tolerated the 90 minute wait for food.  Included in our order was queso dip and we were disappointed in it.  Weird because we have enjoyed it for years but we made queso that was better.  A lot better.  So, I am sharing the amazing queso recipe here for all of you to enjoy. It's the recipe for queso at Republic Cantina in DC, so I take no independent credit for this.  Also, this makes a huge batch, so make some to enjoy now and then freeze it (we used gallon plastic freezer bags) for later.  Enjoy!

Careful What You Wish For - Guest blog post

All: We are super thrilled to share this guest blog post from Elizabeth Kirk, Marketing Directors for TRC Engineering.  Please give us your comments and feedback and perhaps we will see Elizabeth posting here as a regular contributor!! Careful What You Wish For For weeks I would tell anyone who would listen, what I really need is time at home without any distractions—none: no traveling to meetings; visiting clients; association events or anything that makes me leave my house.   I certainly don’t want to eat out anymore – ARGGHHH.   I mean NOTHING for about two weeks that’s all I was asking for in order to grab my crazy life by the horns and get all my ducks in a row personally and professionally.   Two weeks at home with no distractions – none, not even the kids.   I typically work from home and I have a nice set up in the basement; it’s usually very quiet (except when a passerby gets the attention of a dog, then of course the other two dogs have to chime in).   My

Staying Connected...Virtually

 As the third week of working remotely draws to a close, I am starting to feel the pains of not having the in person interactions that I am used to.  As a vendor and business partner in the Property Management Industry, my days used to be spent at association events, committee meetings, lunches, happy hours, etc.  I had endless opportunities to stay connected to my clients and friends in person on a regular basis.  Things sure have changed in a short period of time. Last week, as week 2 of no in person interaction began, it started to hit me that it could be months before our industry could interact in person again.  I have to be honest and say that I panicked a bit.  I rely on these relationships on more than just a business level and I know I'd be lost without them. I started seeing social media posts about people holding virtual meetings to stay connected and "see" each other.  Several were even being held as a happy hour.  What a great idea!  Who doesn't love a
