I work for one of those crazy businesses in DC that doesn’t follow the Federal Government holiday schedule, so I will be slaving away downtown. However, if you’re free tomorrow, there’s a parade in Alexandria, and also a celebration at Mount Vernon complete with…hoecakes?

Hoecakes?

What’s a hoecake? Well, it’s a cornmeal cake that’s baked or fried on a griddle. Apparently the first Dubya liked his with butter and honey. Chow down!
