weekend update

[beige_alert]

Joyce and I went to Crawdaddy's for dinner on Saturday night. I had, as I often do, the Alaskan king crab, which is basically a giant armor-plated underwater bug. When you taste that good, you need armor. Fortunately, I won the fight with the crab, aided by the fact that not only am I bigger than the crab, but it was already dead. Our dessert was "Chocolate Beyond Reason."

We wandered out to Lakeshore State Park after dinner. It's very pretty at night, a nice view of the lit-up city. The path around the park is lit, as is the bridge at the north end. Some night I'll have to go out there with camera and tripod.

On Sunday I found some fleecy clothing in the clearance racks at REI at irresistible prices. *warm*

Other news: Hofbräu München Münchner Kindl Hefe Weizen is my favorite of the beers I've tried.

"Chocolate Beyond Reason."

Na wenn das nicht vielversprechend klingt.... ;)

Und I mag dieses Weizenbier auch gern =)

(sorry, felt tempted to reply in german....:))

Mmmmmmm! I want that crab. There are so many delicious things in the US. And a German beer... *mmmmmmm*

The crab is great! There is this TV series about the people who catch them ("Deadliest Catch"), but fortunately I don't have to go out in a boat up in Alaska to catch them. All I have to do is shovel the snow at Joyce's place while she's away, and when she come back, out we go for a nice meal.

We do have (these days, at least) all sorts of delicious things here. Too bad we're know more for fast food. All the McDonald's I've eaten in the last few years I ate, bizarrely, in Germany. (The first time I was in a McDonald's I didn't eat anything, but, later, in another city, the gang was getting take-out and, hey, free cheeseburger! Can't refuse!)

As for beer, I never liked beer, but it turns out Germans know a thing or two about beer....
