Arlandria nears EBT glory





Like Bilbo Baggins I’m there and back again

I hit up Arlandria’s Farmers Market with my board in hand

Snaggin’ free range beef, I’m ‘bout to have a cow

I’m talkin’ grass-fed goodness, yeah real local chow

For those who know what it is like to be continually hungry, like serious tapeworms from Zambia hungry, you can relate to the pure satisfaction that hails from schnarfing peanut butter right out of the container. You could framboliate a whole song and dance about the delectable attributes of avocado and mozzarella or the mouthwatering properties of eggs over black beans. But alas there is something leagues better, greater, and more zestifantastiskt than anything on earth:

Beef, guilt-free and fabulous.

With the sun on my face and longboard underfoot, I voyaged to the Arlandria Farmer’s Market today to take part in an unsuccessful food stamp transaction. It turns out the April 3, start date for electronic benefit transfers (EBT) has been pushed back, due to what was explained to me as a delay from the state of Virginia to provide an EBT training session. Yet, it wasn’t a total loss. I purchased some beef for making kabobs from Whats For Dinner Now LLC housed in Timberville, Virginia, (113 miles away) and I was informed EBT cards will definitely be good to go by May 1st.

Also, I owe this treat entirely to my Aunt Gloria and my cousin Mandy. They came to DC for the Cherry Blossom festival and despite my attempts to block their charity, they gave me money to take them to the airport. My aunt and cousin are phenomenal. They spoiled me rotten all week taking me out to Bugsy’s, Asian Bistro, and they even treated my girlfriend and I to dinner at Fontaine Caffe & Creperie, all in scenic Old Town. Nothing in the world is better than sharing time with the people you love.
