Happy Valentine's Day! The Snook and I celebrated with a night on the town. I did three new things that I'd never done before:
  • I ate a raw oyster! Seriously! With just a bit of lime juice! And I didn't die.
  • I went to Star City, which is my first casino visit ever. It was insane. We didn't bet anything.
  • We took the light rail home. Not exciting, but still a first for me.
What did you do?

Ha! I'm going on a blind date set up by one of my patients. For 6 years I've had parents trying to set me up w/ their awkward sons, and Wednesday I folded. Oi. I'll have to let you know how it goes. Everyone, cross your fingers for me.

Oh wow! Good luck, cous.

Dan and I are headed to Six Flags Magic Mountain to wait in lines all day! We had originally planned to go to the Happiest Place on Earth, but luckily I checked the website and saw that all the GOOD rides are closed for refurbishing! Whew. We'll see how MM compares to CP...

And that's about it. We went to a hole-in-the-wall Mexican place last night where I had a bite of the hottest salsa on this planet, and the owner put in a video of his championship ballroom-dancing son for us to watch! It was quite romantic. :)

Mmm... oysters...

It was pretty good! In fact, it was exactly as Pa Snook had described it: "creamy, and like the ocean." I thought that meant fishy but instead it was more like sea water.

My dad grows them in Virginia, so I eat them every time I visit my parents. I like them with strong cocktail sauce - lots of horseradish and lemon or lime juice with a splash of ketchup for sweetness.

Hmm, that could be good. Mine was just with lime, which was pretty nice. I got freaked out afterwards though when I was writing this post. I googled for "raw oyster" and like the first 100 results are news stories about people who've died from eating them. Eeek!

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.
"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.
 
"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
