Awesome Mussels

What a lethargic day yesterday was. I couldn't do my morning run due to a cut on my big toe that just wants to reopen every time I wear shoes other than sandals. I feel extremely frustrated when I don't get the endorphins going and often end up doing lots of niothing as a result.

Jer and I went to Farrago's for the first time. It was ranked number one for mussels in the Houston Press. Since we've both been craving mussels lately we decided to check it out. They were delicious ... done in coconut milk with garlic, lemongrass and cilantro. I thought everything was excellent but other than the mussels and the dessert Jer thought it was just okay. The dessert was something worth writing about: strawberries soaked in Chambord and sugar overnight, then topped with a pecan cinnamon crumble and baked. Bryce, our waiter, was also rather yummy.

Had a great surprise visit from Derek last night. He was on his way to HGO and happened to call and we happened to be home. Derek is one of those people that I can go for months without hearing from and it feels as though no time has passed. It's always super to see him.
