The Foodie

It's long been known among our family ranks that the GilGuy is a serious eater of unusual things.  From seaweed to a gluten-free diet, he'll readily be found munching on a flax seed covered rice cake, while spurning a glorious, decadent chocolate desert.

Tease him much about it, I do.  I've even been known to be frustrated with his way ~ because I am a Foodie.

The revelry returns upon me, as Gil pokes me about my habit of finding a particular dish at a particular restaurant, and *only* ordering that dish from the menu, upon each subsequent visit.

Ah.  Yes.  Well.

When one finds what they like, why mess with perfection??  :)

Needless to say, I enjoy the commradarie and laughter that accompanies a good meal.  Gil extends grace to me in that area, and does a very good job of meeting my desire to take in a fine (and sometimes not so fine, like a greasy burger joint) eatery every now and then.

We've had a wide array of culinary experiences, the GilGuy and I . . . from the dandelion being skewered into my steak as we sat in the bank-vault-turned-dining-area; to the chasing down of the pizza delivery guy, asking where-on-earth-is-the-pizza-place?  Yes.  Good meals, bad meals, and meals in between.

It's all part of the adventure!

Last week, as we took in a meal at the House of Blues, New Orleans, and enjoyed a solid meal of Rosemary Chicken and Mashed Red Potatoes, then the subsequent concert, little did we know that in 24 hours, I'd be dining on a copy-cat recipe of Chef-Boy-ar-Dee spaghetti sauce covered stuffed shells. (ugh!)

The fine eatery we'd been referred to *obviously* makes it's living on the pizzas . . . which we did not order!  :D

Shortly thereafter, I took the ever-delightful Allison-serving-as-Nanny to supper at a quaint little joint on the corner.  We were stunned at the presentation and deliciousness of the Spinach Dip.

So much so, I found I simply *must* take a photo.  At the very moment the shutter snapped, I realized I've never blogged-through-the-eateries of any particular trip we've taken.

Hm.

What a concept.

So, with a couple of weeks yet left in this particular endeavor by my son, The Actor, I do believe I'm going to do just that.

Because, after all . . . I am a Foodie.
