Since I started hanging out with bloggers, I have had to answer the question, "So, do you have a blog?" in the negative. Now I can proudly say, "Yes, yes! I do in fact have a blog. For I am a protestant! And, if the urge struck me, I could march down to the corner store and purchase a condom." - eBill (with thanks to Monty Python)

First, A Pleasant Post

We went to Gecko's again last night. Gecko's is rapidly moving it's way up our list of favorite places. They have awesome margaritas and excellent food. Oh, and this guy has got to be THE nicest bartender in Baltimore Maryland the United States the world the entire galaxy. If you get a chance, stop by and sample their fare. Excercise caution though, I am convinced they put crack in the margaritas. Oh, and the Chesapeake Chili is freakin' awesome! Sweet, spicy, and seafoody!

It Tastes Like Burning

We had a wonderful dinner at Ze Mean Bean Cafe this past Friday evening. Fool ordered the always outstanding pierogi dinner. I ordered the marlin topped with a mango salsa which was also excellent.

We ordered a 2003 Ninth Island Pinot Noir (Australia) but they were out of that vintage so we accepted the 2004 vintage instead which, by the way, was very yummy. To go with the wine, we ordered a cheese board and selected three different cheeses including Stilton.

After a single taste, Fool joined the ranks of Stilton non-fans. There were the normal comments that it tasted like a smelly foot which are always funny but she followed up later with the funniest cheese comment I have ever heard. When I asked exactly what it is was that she didn't like about Stilton, she answered simply, "Cheese is not supposed to burn your tongue."

Case in point. :)

p.s. Afterwards, we had a nightcap at Ale Mary's which is a friendly little joint with a pleasing aesthetic. Stop by if you get a chance.
