This weekend as I was sitting in a crab boat with the mid-morning sun beating down on my head, doing my best not to be a total fuss pot after being woken up at 6:30 to go out crabbing for our family's annual crab feast, my cousin uttered a few sage words: "August is God's way of reminding you to be thankful for fall."
I couldn't agree more.
I just checked weather.com to see what the temperature is by my house and it's 101 degrees. This triple digit absurdity makes me look forward to feeling a cool September breeze on my face. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to rush summer out or anything. I love summer. But when it gets this hot, I get very sluggish and tired. Then again, maybe that's because I'm not getting enough sleep. Sigh.
I have a post about a recent recipe that I tried, but for the moment I just feel like writing random stuff. (It's my blog and I can do that.) I think I'll label these type posts "Post-its."
There is an interesting article in the Washington Post today about Tilapia and how it's consumption has gone way up among the average shopper, but that chefs are not big fans. Snooty Bob Kinkead, chef-owner of Kinkead's in Foggy Bottom and Colvin Run Tavern in Vienna, called it "insipid," "spongelike" and "inferior." "Not in my restaurant," he declared. "Never sold it, won't sell it." Whatever, Bob.
In other D.C. seafoody news, the owners of Hank's Oyster Bar in Dupont (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place) are planning to open up another restaurant in Old Town Alexandria on King Street in September. Will be looking forward to checking that out. They make a Lobster Roll sandwich that is out of this world, not to mention the oysters there are always fab. Here's hoping the new place is a little bit bigger.

The indoor steak looks excellent, I'll try it. As does the salad near the bottom. You're a MUCH better cook than I. And p.s., your writing is superb as always, you should go to school for that or something ;).
