monday, i went for cajun broiled seafood with some ladies from the knitting group and a fellow foodie--steph w, gayle, steph c & her husband josh, and lisa v. it was messy and darn good. we had shrimp, crawfish, mussels, and corn. except for some king crab which were ok, they were out of crab (blue & dungeness) again, so maybe next time. after what i found out about shrimping this week from a new member of our knitting group who is a marine biologist, i'm starting to think about cutting back on shrimp. there's also the whole cholesterol thing.

since mike works so late, i'm often home wondering if i should start dinner without him or wait. sometimes waiting means we don't eat dinner until 9 or 10pm. this past friday night, rather than sitting at home feeling lonely and eager to start the weekend, i went with a few foodie friends to the sand pedro fish market to pick out fresh seafood from the day's catch--shrimp, two kinds of crab, & red snapper, which they cooked for us, and we enjoyed low brow style with messy hands and beers on the pier. ah, the goodness of consoling myself with food, friendship and a nice buzz.
