I know it sounds like a hot day in England, but it’s actually the name of an Indian restaurant here in Houston.  It’s Justine’s favorite Indian restaurant, as a matter of fact.  We went there tonight to try to burn the congestion out of our chests with the help of some of their hot curry [...]

A very famous, bald, yellow-skinned man once said “mmmm…beeeeer” and the world embraced that fat, bald, yellow-skinned man with open arms. Well, if you like beer (like I do) and happen to live near Asheville, North Carolina (unfortunately, I do not) you’d be a fool not to swing by Brusin’ Ales and embrace a few [...]

Justine and I ate at Gaidos tonight. Best seafood on the island…plus they have a giant crab on the roof. Pretty cool, eh? Justine had shrimp and scallops and I had blackened red snapper. (We had a little booze too. They make a good martini here too.) – Dave

Dazzled, she tried it Thursday and emailed today crowing about how [...]

Justine and I are going on a date tonight to Ziggy’s Healthy Grill in sunny Houston, followed by a stop at Borders for some book shopping. We’re both looking forward to a relaxing evening. -Dave

We had brunch here today in the courtyard. It was a wonderful breezy morning in the Quarter. – Dave
