Camera and Snails

Although I have a camera on my cell phone, it isn't that good so I decided to keep a better camera in my jacket pocket so I can take pictures and post them here for you internet folks.  Unfortunately, I had jury duty today and they don't appreciate cameras in the court house.  The officer at the entrance was like, "Why the frig would you bring a camera to jury duty?" and he took it.  So I was like, "Screw you man, this is America and I can take a picture of whatever the hell I want!  Pig!"  Ok, I'd didn't really say that, but it would have been really cool if I did.  Instead I said, "Yes sir." and I gave him the camera and got it back when I left.

Anyway, I've eaten a lot of interesting foods since my last post and I've bought lots of interesting foods at the Asian market.  Some of them good (like longan fruit) and some bad (like most fish related snacks).  I've eaten a lot of Japanese seaweed salad at the sushi place (below).

I went out to lunch with my colleagues on Friday for Atlantic City restaurant week.  I had escargot, which is something very few restaurants serve as well as shrimp risotto and bread pudding for desert.  Mmmm...slugs in garlic butter.  It was actually really good.  It tastes similar to other mollusks like clams.  My coworker took this picture and I stole it from her blog.

So that's what I've been up to lately.  I want to update this blog more often, but there's a good chance I'll get lazy and not update it.  But I'll try.  Promise.
