In Good Tastes

You and L.C. have a standing date each week.

No, not Lauren Conrad; you’re involved with Lean Cuisine. And it’s high time for a dramatic breakup.

When you want dinner in a flash, turn to Urban Tastes. The new company delivers single-portion meals anywhere within the beltway. Founder Megan Adams assembles a different menu each week using seasonal recipes with a focus on local, organic ingredients.

The five entrees always include a vegetarian item and could include spicy ginger tofu, salmon curry, quiche with garlic scapes, or pistachio-crusted pork chops. Adams also offers sides and a dessert, like soft, mesquite chocolate chip cookies or lemon bars.

Each dish comes with ideas for wine pairings, as suggested by the Greater Washington Wine School. So pour a glass and light some candles.

And watch your ex head for the hills.
