We had dinner out with my in-laws tonight. Dinner was yummy (fish with a side of lobster ravioli) and politics were not discussed. I'm putting today in the win column.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I love lobster ravioli! Yum.
Nausea is back. Taking to bed again with crystallized ginger and a book. Grump.
I love lobster ravioli! Yum.
At Bacco's in the Quarter, you can get lobster ravioli with a butter champagne sauce and a dollop of caviar. And if you go at lunchtime you can get fifty cent martinis. Or at least you could. Is Bacco's still there? Sometimes the faded rose has desperate deals.
I am eating cheesy broccoli mashed potatoes.
That what I had for dinner last night!
and politics were not discussed.
Dinner win!
Bacco's is no longer in service. It's now a different Brennan restaurant called SoBou. (South of Bourbon, except not really.)
Speaking of the Brennans, we had our anniversary dinner at Commander's Palace and it was AWESOME. We had the chef's tasting menu. And after dinner, we met the chef (Tory McPhail) and got a tour of the patio at the restaurant as well as the garden of the Brennan grand dames who live next door to the restaurant. The grand dames were eating at the table next to us at dinner. We noticed the chef coming out several times to chat, and thought, "oh, they must be friends of the family" but really they WERE the family.
Question for Christians: Since 911, I hear a lot of country songs and fundy Christians use the term "God is Great". Certainly nothing in the sentiment that is not Christian,but I always associated the phrasing with Islam. Has this always been a common phrase among Christians, and I just started noticing it post 911?
Yup.
I just finished 'Salem's Lot. Well, that was creepy as fuck. My neighbor lent it to me as thanks (retaliation?) for getting him hooked on Terriers. I'd never read a Stephen King book, you see. Effective. Dated in that sexist, old school racist (dago), cross-dressers are pedos kind of way. I guess I'm glad I read it? It's left me more cranky than terrified, and I'm a total wuss.
Nora, sounds like a wonderful dinner! Yay.
