Dear woman in the Suburban next to me on the drive in who was putting on her makeup on the drive in this morning:

You should remember to spread your foundation a little way down your neck to ensure the color blends seamlessly from your face down to your chest, instead of leaving a harsh line at the jaw.

This helpful tip has been brought to you by the driver in the car next to you.







okay, when I saw her, we were stopped at a traffic light.

Mmmmmmm

Just pre-ordered this cookbook: Jon Bonnell's Waters: Fine Coastal Cuisine. It's by a local chef, who owns our favorite restaurant (Bonnell's Fine Texas Cuisine) and a new seafood restaurant, Waters, which the recipes here come from.

He's the one I've talked about before who will happily email you any recipe of his if you ask which, I have to say, ended up making us buy his other two cookbooks because we wanted to support that sort of thing.

At any rate, the description of the book on the Amazon page specifically mentions the lobster mac & cheese recipe that we had at Waters that Toby loves and which I didn't hate.* I believe the email conversation went something like: "Shall I pre-order?" "You have to ask?" "It'll arrive on the doorstep in March."



* I am a simple woman, and pretty much hate mac & cheese except for the bright orange stuff in a box, which is a comfort food. I believe it was eating the gross white goopy crap called mac & cheese in school cafeterias that did me in for anything other than the box.
