Who would have thought...

I still find myself shocked sometimes, and I know that family and friends would be even more shocked to hear me say "do you think we could make this at home". Tonight my husband met a friend of his at Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille on the square here in Ocala, http://www.hookedonharrys.com/page/28-4188.htm. He had met her after work, and I thought, it is such a beautiful day, sitting outside at Harry's sounds heavenly and decided to join them after I got out of work. I had yet to meet her, and am glad I finally got the chance. It was nice to sit and visit. After she left we stayed and had dinner, I ordered:

Louisiana Pork Tenderloin SteakCenter cut pork tenderloin topped with baby Portobello mushrooms and our house made French Quarter sauce, a full flavored Worcestershire butter sauce.

It looked great, and tasted great, had a bit of a kick to it, I thought it was delicious, and believe I will try to make it, or something similar.

Sam's usual is "Crabmeat and Eggplant Napoleon", tonight he strayed and got something from their "Be as Crabby as you like" special menu:

Crab Bisque
A combination of Jumbo lump crabmeat, cream and our special seasonings make this soup unforgettable.

Crab Louie Napoleon
Conquer your taste buds with this spectacular dish featuring cured tomatoes, avocado, lump blue crab meat with chili mayo and roasted peppers, stacked Napoleon style with a drizzling of avocado vinaigrette.


You know, now that I think about it I think it is more surprising to me, than it is to family and friends that I am trying new things. Life is just too short, I wasted too many years. Thankfully, I now have a wonderful future ahead, sharing life with someone who has opened my heart, and mind. I'm growing....finally....
