    Of course you took me to some place where nobody spoke english. Maybe I am getting some not so subtle hints. If I ever dine with DDD and he says I know this great place meet me at 701 E Rosecrans, I will know for sure and leave.

      Hey, I also showed you your first transvestite, which wouldn't have happened if we stayed in the english-speaking part of Las Vegas (if such a part exists). He/She had nice legs, though, remember?

        How could I forget, I thought he/she was a world class sprinter.

          Looks like Joule is the winner. We'll probably go on Friday night.

          They had a dish in F&W's top 10 restaurant dishes for 2008, and that's probably what I'll try.

          Their tapioca and grapefruit brulee is apparently quite the knockout as well.

          I know fushion cuisines are about as fashionable as pegged pants these days, but Joule has gotten some nice buzz and I'm excited to try it out.
          So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

            I chose and booked the reservations, although it's a place we've both been wanting to go. It's a brand new and very hip sushi bar / danceclub. It's the trendy place to be this valentines. We never do anything trendy, so we'll be a little out of our element.

              I've run out of options. Waited too long of course and can't find a place in town that will accept a reservation. I did reserve a table at 350 Main in Park City, but I really don't want to drive all the way there just to turn around and go back downtown for the symphony.

                This sounds interesting. I love tapioca. I love creme brulee. Grapefruit is one of my favorite fruits. Never would I have thought to combine the three. Tell me what it's like.
                What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                  Danimal and I both have hot dates for Saturday afternoon. I'm going with the boys to see Coraline. Danimal and our daughter are going out for pizza and games.

                    I've convinced Faith that all of the commercial aspects of V-Day go against her feminist ethical code. So we stick to the non-commercial script.

                        My dad and I cooked Valentine's dinner for our wives tonight. We used Bobby Flay's ancho chile rub on some thick cuts of filet mignon. Asparagus with fresh grated parmesan and olive oil. Twice baked potatoes. Jumbo shrimp. Chocolate covered strawberries. My dad made a drink with some fresh fruit. Kiwi, strawberries, pears, and oranges. It was good. Then he made individual ice cream cake desserts with coffee oreo crust.

                            Is this a Surfah relative or just some random person taking a shot?

                                It is our BIL. He rocks. Hey FN Welcome!- stay for a while.
                                P.S. I have no real confirmation of this but I can tell by this specific post. In fact, I am so confident that this is my BIL that I would bet on it.
