That wasn't a BIG martini. That was a regular martini. Get me some bigger Martini glasses, and I'll make you a BIG martini.

Oh yeah.

That's just what we need... MORE glassware.

Isn't being able to drink again nice?

Oh my god, yes!

Drinking's nice too, but....

Mmmm, scallops.

It's been too long since I've had good fixed-like-seafood seafood. Meaning, I do sushi a lot, but not...traditional seafood.

So last week I was in East Texas--in a community catering to sportfishing--and there was a seafood restaurant. At the waitress' advice, I got the combo platter: shrimp, scallops, oysters, fish, deviled crab.

Maybe it had been too long since I'd done scallops and oysters, or maybe they were just that good, but they were just *heavenly*

Unfortunately, I don't know if I trust our local HEB enough to buy any out of their seafood counter, or I'd be picking myself up some.

I think easy access to fresh seafood is one of the big reasons I'll never move to a land-locked state. I love seafood of all kinds far to much to give it up, or even be content with lesser quality. Which means, I'll never move to Tucson, no matter how much I love it there.

On the other hand, it's probably worth the $10 to experiment and see if what you can get locally is good. If it's bad, you'll know pretty quickly, probably before you'd even eaten any, I'd think.

Oh yeah, that's quite true. I mean, there are two HEBs relatively close buy. I definitely know which of the two I'd buy fish from. It's also the one I prefer for other meat.

see the seafood

eat the seafood.
love the seafood.

I also am eyeing the connecticut coast for a house in a year... i could get anywhere from there, I think, and without the wierdness of other parts of the country.
