Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

Boat drinks*

I had to dig my heavy coat out yesterday. I'm not ready for winter. It's only November and I'm already indulging myself by browsing web pages from Ocean City, dreaming about summer vacation.

My second-favorite restaurant** in OC has a new web page, complete with a picture of one of my absolute favorite meals anywhere.

And recipes, God bless 'em. They even tease that they might add the recipe for the topping for the filet, oh please oh please oh please...

Speaking of food, Ted has some very practical Kitchen Tips today. He's right about the knives...cut yourself with a good sharp knife and you barely feel it, and and they can stitch your finger back on without leaving a scar!

To switch subjects wildly without a transition...cold weather has got me planning for the holidays. I'm thinking of making Christmas cards with rat pictures, but I understand that not everybody finds rats to be so cute and cuddly. So, if you got a card like this, would it freak you out?

That was a bit random. I'm a zombie...we've had some crazy wind the last couple of days, and it has scared the dog and she's needed to sleep with me, which means I'm getting no sleep. Well, I did nod off during the fourth quarter of the Terps game last night (sheer exhaustion; it was a good game), but I was jolted awake with a dream that I was trying to diagram football plays using the rats. They weren't cooperating.

Did I mention I'm a zombie?

*In that I gotta go where it's warm.

**I explained why the Shark is only my second-favorite restaurant in Ocean City in a blog back in August. I'd been home for less than a week and I was already missing the food.
