Tonight, Shane and I had dinner at one of the newest restaurants on 8th Street (Barracks Row) near Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. It is Lavagna, which in Italian apparently means chalkboard. They use chalk slates for their menus.
This was actually the third time we've eaten there. They have very delicious home-made pastas. The first two times I had the spaghetti and meatballs, but tonight I had the Fettuccine Bolognese (pictured below). It looked a little Hamburger Helper, but it was good. I do think I liked the spaghetti better though. Shane had what he has had each time we have gone to Lavagna, the Rigatoni with Italian Sausage in Vodka Sauce. We are liking this place.
As far as the calorie count for this meal, I have no idea. As you can see from yesterday's post, I am dieting as part of my Biggest Loser competition at work. However, I will say that I did run 8 miles on the treadmill today and am planning on a 16 mile run this weekend, so I can afford to load up on a few carbs.
Just in case you were looking for the Billy Joel video while searching on the Internet, it is below. I like that song too.
