So, I was actually going to post a picture of one of the cathedrals in Italy, but then I figured, why go for the obvious. I thought this shrimp with peaches was pretty divine if I say so myself.
My thoughts on whatever passes through my line of sight.

Random Thoughts on a Sunday Morning
This weekend was a busy one. A wedding at the shore, and engagement party in Brooklyn, some weekend working and a visit with a friend from CA. Needless to say we spent a lot of time on the road and had some fun adventures.
Here's a question - Is it wrong to point at the gas tank of a Hum-vee and laugh when you are driving down Rt. 18? Actually what made it so funny was it was brand new - still had temporary plates. Please tell me who looks at gas prices these days and says I need a vehicle that will cost $100 bucks to drive 20 miles.
I saw a sign that said "Goose Problems? 1-800..." I can't figure out if that is grammatically correct. It bugged us the whole way home. Jack says that "goose" is referring to a species so therefore it is right. But I think it should be Geese Problems? Whatever, it's still on my mind.
We pulled up to get some gas last night driving home from NY and an older gentleman in a Saab convertible pulled up next to us. He asked if he could pump his own gas or if the attendant had to do it for him. Being we were in Jersey, the attendant said he had to, so the man said "I'm in a rush, so please be quick" We tried to guess where he was from, turns out - NY plates.
And finally, congrats to Anthony & Vikki (pictures posted - see link on sidebar) - enjoy you're honeymoon!

Music Man...
Today was the deadline for another CD exchange, hosted by smelmoo. As with all of the exchanges, I puttered around for weeks thinking about the cd.
See, I believe in using themes. Maybe it's the Monk in me but I have this little bit of OCD where I like things to have a connection. Also, using a theme makes it easier to narrow down my collection to 18 songs.
So after a few weeks of this and that, I settled on Food. That was the easy part. The hard part was finding songs about food that were not meant for those under 10. Sure, lots of songs have food mentioned, but really are not about the pleasures of eating or drinking. I wanted songs the celebrated the wonderfulness of tomatoes in the summer, ice cream on a spring day or chili over a campfire. Some of them do, and others I just liked because they were by my man.
Then comes the cover and the song list. I could do an entire entry about fonts and my obsession with color but I'll save that for another day. Let's just say that I am often as proud of my cover as I am of my song selection. So in the end "In The Kitchen" was completed and mailed to the other participants. Hopefully they will all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed compiling.
