The stars at night. . . are big and bright. . . CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP

DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS!

Which, in case your someone who's NOT on my Facebook or checking my website, is where we are!

Until Saturday, when we leave for Peru.

And, personally, I prefer Dallas' little sister Fort Worth to Dallas anyday. Wish we were staying there. . .

By the way, I've been wearing the same pair of shorts for the last three days. . .

A BIG heaping pot of Mussels "done in Gramma's style" from Morels in Beijing, China
Whitehall Steak Night, a huge fillet served medium rare in a mustard cream sauce, with salad, bruschetta, chicken wings and Mounds like dessert in Tel Aviv, Isarel.
Grilled Octopus and Tzatziki at Zorba's, Athens, Greece
Supreme Pizza, hold the sausage, add black olives, Vitale's Sports Bar, Grand Rapids, MI
Calamari Salad from Il Duo, Phnom Penh, Cambodia (and maybe the cannoli for dessert)
Chicken on a stick and corn on the cob from street vendors in Bangkok, Thailand
HUGE grilled scallops (think saucer size) from Andy's Place in Tokyo, Japan
Red Snapper done on the grill, on the beach, in Jimbaran, Bali
Scallops and Broccoli from Hong Kee restaurant, Chung Chau Island, Hong Kong
Fresh Mussels served in pepper sauce from The Fig Tree in Rome, Italy
2 Big Fat Porkchops with asian coleslaw and garlic mashed potatoes from the Seoul Pub in Itaewon, Korea WARNING: THESE SUCK IT NOW. TOTALLY NOT THE SAME. I'm leaving this up because ONCE they deserved it, but no more.
