Look at me, all clean and shiny…
My older daughter, Jessica, and her fiance, Jason… whom I am visiting in Arizona, you might recall… took me to a fun place to eat last night…
It is called ‘Posh’… I know, it is a fairly presumptuous name… but they have taken everybody in the family there except me…
It is not your average restaurant…
Everybody fills out a card with how many courses they want… we went with five, but you can get way more than that…
Then, on the card, you cross off the things you are too afraid of to eat…
And you answer questions like: is raw meat okay?
And then they start bringing stuff to the table…
And everybody gets different things… for every course… so you can share bites…
By now you will have noticed that I am not actually telling you what it was that we ate…
There are two reasons for this. First of all, I have no idea what most of it was… I mean, the waitress explained it all, told us what it was… and I could tell you I ate veal and baby octopus and stuffed quail and… stuff… but all the other ingredients were things you never heard of, prepared in ways you know nothing about.
I mean, if you see anything on any of these plates that looks familiar, trust me, it is a type of that food grown only in the shade on the back side of a freekin’ Himalayan mountain at only 4,285 feet of altitude… during one month in every third year…
The other reason I am a little sketchy on the details is that I drank a Moscow Mule and a Dark And Stormy…
So both vodka and rum were involved…
Yup…
But it was awesome… and I saw my first monsoon in Arizona… which involved a lot of lightening… but the rain mostly missed us.
I think ‘improvisational’ just about sums it up.
And Look! Jessica really does have one of the two leaves I made in my blacksmith class on her key ring!
Pouring My Art Out 
You naughty foodie!
food may be the least naughty part of me… HA!
Bahahah. It feels so good to be so bad.
we aren’t even talking about food anymore, are we…
Right, those wine glasses are bloody enormous! You could get almost an armful in there!
or a snoot full…
You have a freakishly large snoot my friend…flaunt it!
I have freakishly large feet too

Tou know what I mean…
Et tou, Brute?
Is this a nondescript foodstuff I see before me?
the ides of snacks
A cookie, a cookie, my kingdom for a cookie
dough!
nut
no need to get personal…
But that’s the way I like it
well played
It looks like it would be cheaper for me to fly to Arizona and take a limo to this restaurant than to actually have a dinner there.
It wasn’t as bad as it seems like it might have been
Wow, so cool. The restaurant is so neat. I kept scrolling wasting for someone (no names mentioned Art) to have arranged the food in a smiley face or an octopus eye watching. ha! Or maybe a stick man. See, I told you that I would buy themetal leaves – obviously so would your daughter.
What a great evening to spend with your daughter and SILTB (Son in law to be)/
I am a little hung over today… and I have a long drive…
