Day late and a dollar short on this one...I meant to post this yesterday.

It is pretty.

First of all, I'd like to thank Claudia of cook eat Fret for getting me a ticket to Iron Fork last night. The SO (Significant Omnivore) couldn't go, but she felt I should be there.

For some reason I visited Music City Bloggers this morning. Just a coincidink really, a link followed and all of that.

I only have one book near me and it is Stephen Colbert’s “I Am America (And So Can You)

When someone new comments on my blog, I typically try to click over to their blog (if they link to one), just to spy a little. Most of the time I find a tidy little blog that speaks of family, money, God, career… something like that.

I have never clicked over to a commenter’s blog and been so instantly thrust into a fit of hunger.

Until today.

It’s been a bit of whirlwind week. I’ve rather enjoyed it, actually, as I took a couple of days off from work (vacation days) and have been working on some stuff that’s important to me.

With that said, I’ve been thinking a lot about life, taxes, 401K plans and monsters as I’m still on my Cloverfield high. (I liked it, dammit.)

Look at this beautiful dish made by the amazing Claudia at cook eat FRET. She calls it Crab Ragout over Squid Ink Pasta. Now, I’m all about stimulating as many senses as possible in the dining experience…appealing to the eye, taste, smell…and sound.
