Once You Go Black(ened) ... You Never Go Back

So one of my favorite things about the beach is seafood.

And having eaten gulf fresh since I can remember, I'm a little spoiled.

In Colorado and/or Arizona, I'm severely deprived.

Land-locked states + seafood = 75% chance of bad fish ...

and there's nothing worse than bad fish.

I have to give credit to one of my favorite restaurants back home,

Pappadeaux Seafood.

I can only testify to the Lone Tree, CO location ... but man is it good.

Ok enough about bussed/flown in fish ... I'm eating fresh this week! 

I introduce to you: my favorite Gulf Shores restaurant, since 1983

The Original Oyster House.

Forgive my phone-snapped pic, complete with a bite missing.

My personal favorite seafood is blackened fish.

Many people have never had fish this way ... if you're one of them, you HAVE to try it!

Gotta love the beach :)

Did You Say Buffalo??

Anyone who knows me knows my favorite food is buffalo flavored ANYTHING. It's pretty much an addiction. I usually don't post back to back like this, but when They Draw & Cook released their newest 6 today ... I had to. I haven't even had the chance to try this out yet ... but if someone else does, please let me know how it is!! RECIPES.

Sex and the City fashion

Confession: I LOVE Sex and the City. A marathon was on TV yesterday and the movie was on today so I just couldn't help but be inspired. I pulled photos of my favorite movie looks and some of my favorite scenes ... makes me want to move back to NY!!
