my favorites

restaurants:

This is a random list of memorable places I've eaten during my travels over the years. If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm something of a foodie, budding oenophile, and chocoholic. (well, maybe not a chocoholic. I just like to self-medicate. Often.)

Grateful Head Pizza Oven
     Broken Bow, OK

Addis Red Sea Ethiopian Restaurant
     Boston, MA

Zaytinya - authentic mezze, or Mediterranean tapas
     Washington, D.C.

Tamarind Indian Restaurant
     New York, NY

Brix Restaurant and Wine Shop
     Napa, CA

The Clay Pit Indian Restaurant
     Austin, TX

There's a funny story attached to this one. I always go to The Clay Pit when I'm in Austin. Last time I visited, due to poor wardrobe planning and a bird under the Congress Ave. bridge who decided to gift me with a fly-by bombing, I showed up at the restaurant in bird-crapped cycling shorts and serious helmet head. Fortunately, the staff took pity on me and still served me their delicious Indian cuisine.

 

 

 

 

what I'm listening to:

 

Life Left to Go - Safetysuit

 

Cool BEERS in my FRIDGE:

 

I'm latching onto microbrews at the moment, because they're less expensive than wine and because it seems more appropriate with pizza and hot wings.

Staggering Elk Lager, Estes Park Brewery - this isn't my favorite, but I think it has a fun name, don't you?

 

CHOColate:

Green & Black's Organic Hot Chocolate - best hot chocolate ever!

NewTree Fine Belgian Dark Chocolate, Pleasure - The name says it all.
