we are making our way across the country from northern california to san antonio, tx and have come across quite a few neat places and odd characters. we're not quite "home" yet, but i think this lady at the cracker barrel in casa grande, arizona takes the cake for most memorable conversation overheard. it goes a little something like this:
old bag: i don't think my tv set is working because i just watched that movie The Blindside and it was in black and white. that movie's in color, isn't it?
old man: don't know. never heard of it.
old bag: sure you have. it's the one with sandy duncan. you know, the picture about michael orr who plays for the rams.
old man: never heard of him, never seen the picture.
old bag: sure you have. michael orr is that big colored fella. he plays for the rams now. in the movie sandy duncan's character adopts him... i'm sure you've heard of it. i just want to know if it was in color because i watched it in black and white.
YEP. that was the conversation. see if you can guess how MANY things are wrong here.

go fish
yesterday, we headed to napa. went to pine ridge to pick up our wine (did a little tasting) and then went to franciscan. it was a beautiful afternoon on the patio with great friends. they did a wine pairing with sliders and skewers of lamb and eggplant. afterwards, we went to downtown st. helena for margaritas at ana's cantina and FINALLY to dinner at go fish!
the sushi was fantastic. i highly recommend the lobster roll, rainbow roll, and ken's roll -- if you're in to sushi. for main courses, kathy's miso bass took the cake. it was the best thing at the table, and there was a LOT of food. so 6 girls at one end of the table, 6 boys at the other, at the the end of the night our waitress asks if we'd like dessert. girls say no. all of the boys say yes. where did all the boys' plates end up??? that's right... at the girl's table!!! and somehow those pine ridge bottle never made it home...
