Let's talk about FOOD :-)

Lately, I've had some remarkably fun and delicious meals. First, there was a "meeting of the minds" in Raleigh. Originally, the BFF and I were going to go to the Cheesecake Factory...but when they told us we'd have to wait for almost 2 hours, we said no thank you and ventured next door to a little place called the Red Monkey Tavern. Had we heard of it before? No. Why did we go there? How can you possibly pass up a place called the RED MONKEY TAVERN?! And the monkey on the menu has a martini. And then we discovered that they have a small plane hanging in the mall....Now what in the world planes and martinis have to do with monkeys or good food, I don't know, but when you get to eat lobster BLTs with your BFF, WHO CARES?!


Then I returned home to fun and festivities for our friend Ben's birthday. He was even served a giant birthday beverage. Though I cannot divulge the details of this giant drink, I can tell you there was fruit juice involved. That's all I'm willing to share.

Then there was the decision to eat crabs last night. I was thrilled with this plan. OBVIOUSLY.




Oh the carnage.....





Ace quite enjoyed playing with his crabs and then pretending to torture them for information prior to taking their legs off and eating the crab....

Best part of crab night: Ace's face when he discovered that getting to the crab meat was quite a challenge and that the meal would not just easily present itself to him for consumption...brilliant! :-D Also, Ash, reminder: 3 times before the end of the year...;-) (I think we've found where my loyalties lie)
