I went out to dinner with Good Friend last night since his Lovely Wife is out of town on business. We ate at Radici, a dependably good restaurant with a great atmosphere and awesome food.
I had a couple of appetizers for dinner, one of them being their mussel special, done in a spicy red sauce with lots of tomato chunks. Good Friend doesn't like seafood but I finally talked him into trying one.
There was lots of grimacing, and a big gulp of water after...but he used to make that face when trying wine so there's hope!

One of my most FAVORITE things!!!! I could eat that for every meal if I had the chance!! A world without seafood would be a very bleak place!

ibeejd - I agree!

I read your blog for quite a while, and am deeply sorry for the loss of your wife. It's amazing to me that as I go through the blogroll of participants I never know what I am going to find next. I am deeply moved by some of your posts and find it simply amazing that you have found the courage to continue with this blog. Kudos.

I wish I liked wine. Alas, I don't.
