lets go shopping

Bells and whistles or is that whistles and bells? I have found that I do not have enough bells and whistles on my blog so now and then I start a series that I only do one of, I am not too good at repetition. Remember I was going to do the 'outtakes' series and the 'this and that' series and the 'whatever other dumb name I came up with' series - remember? Well this is no different.



This one is a 'lets go shopping' a series about food shopping.



Signs, signs every where there's signs. Now thats a dog I'd like to meet. Damn it does everything.



Oh yeah, I am guest blogging again, and I am doing it here. Shrimp and scallop "carpaccio" with szechuan buttons..if you think it looks good try and imagine how good it tasted! Go check out my post to see what I said about Szechuan buttons.

Never say NY does not have rules. You can plainly see that I didnt even get all the way through the series before I got distracted and lost my steam.



This is one fine steak!
