DC Outdoor Pool Guide
It's finally Memorial Day weekend and that can only mean one thing (well I guess it can mean a lot, but in this case, there's just one!) Pools are opening! DC has a great perk for residents--their outdoor pools are free. Surprising considering everything else they rip us off for but we'll take it! Below is a comprehensive chart with addresses, hours and phone numbers. You can find this on DC's website too. If you're not into the public pool scene then we've got plenty of other pools around that you can pay for. A few are highlighted below the chart.

Fast Paced Home Sales
Redfin, an online real estate company, says that according to their data 50% of listings in the DC area went under contract in less than two weeks last month and 37% went under contract in less than a week. This puts the DC area at number 7 in the fastest selling markets. They attribute this to not only high demand and small inventory but to technology too. "Today, people can find out within minutes when a new listing has hit the market and schedule an in-person home tour with a real estate agent, all from a smartphone," Redfin said. "While market conditions like supply and demand will fluctuate over time, changes brought about by technology are most likely creating a 'new normal' for the overall pace of home buying and selling."

Small Girl, Big Appetite Recipe of the Week: BBQ Shrimp
Click here to view all recipes by Small Girl, Big Appetite.
Last weekend, I took my first cooking class through Living Social. I had signed up for the class with two friends a few months ago and I was looking forward to some hands-on instruction. I had taken another class at Living Social before on pumpkin and bourbon, but it was more educational than instructional. In both instances I came out with some good tips and recipes. I'll share two of them on the blog in this post and another post this weekend, and the other two I'm going to hold on to for a later date. Because I guarantee I'll make them on my own time again.
The instruction was good and energetic and the kitchen was hot. As it should be, in my opinion, if you're trying to emulate the South. I was very lucky to have a friend who lived in DC for awhile who would regularly cook Southern dishes. While I can never begin to compete with her mad kitchen skillz and appreciation for butter, I can at least learn a bit more about what makes her food, and Southern food as a whole, so awesome.
Fortunately they had Abita beer on hand to help keep us cool. I'm a huge fan of their strawberry variety, but I'd settle for the amber in a pinch.
We learned to make four dishes during the class. Tonight I'll share the recipe for BBQ shrimp, and this weekend, the Bananas Foster recipe. So stay tuned. :)

Washington Monument Scaffolding Up
If you've been down to the mall in the past few days you may have noticed something. The scaffolding around the Washington Monument is finally complete. This means that construction can finally begin on the 555 foot tall monument. It has been closed since August 2011 when the 5.8 magnitude earthquake hit. The National Park Service has estimated that repairs will cost $15 million and we haven't heard when they expect everything to be complete.
