Quote Board

I really have to start keeping a running quote board. This one from my good friend Julee is the funniest thing I have heard in nearly a week.

"I told Banks yesterday and he nearly fell out of his canoe van." You have to know Banks for this one to really hit you, but man oh man, is that funny. Banks is a great guy full of expression, and I can just see his eyes widen, his mouth flare into a big old grin, and hear him say, " Oh man, REALLY....."

I haven't seen Banks in years, but that doesn't matter. Best thing about friends really, you dont have to see them for years and they still can make you smile.

Happy Wednesday!

Chimichurri

Oh man! I love chimichurri sauce and it looks like Chef Ed posted a great one. It is just the time of year to start the serious outdoor dining season, and I think this weekend will involve some meat on the grill with chimichurri sauce. Who is excited?

Food Choices

I was just reading a post at One Block West about Thursdays and all of the activities that happen at a restaurant. I just started checking out this blog and am glad to see that there are some foodie restaurants showing up in the Valley. I noticed that Chef Ed uses foie gras and I thought I would ask him about it. I dont have a hard core opinion (not a PETA freak) or anything like that, but am curious and he was kind enough to respond with an article I could read. The article was interesting, but I dont think I will start eating foie gras any time soon. I do appreciate that Chef Ed took the time to respond. I have never met him in person, but based on his blog and restaurant philosphy, he seems like a nice enough guy. For the record, I was definitely not trying to bait you Chef Ed.

The latest installment....

Okay all you FortHardy fans, here is the latest. I just turned over 3000 miles on the odometer on my road bike. I have ridden more miles than this, but there is something about seeing that milestone in beautiful, LED monochrome.
