My lunch yesterday at a new (to me) restaurant yesterday that's been getting rave reviews online. Garlic parmesan chicken and Mac and cheese. It has a kick to it.

I finished the last book in just a week. This is my next read. Also, I still can't get a hold of that Anne Rice book I've been waiting for.

My next read.

A painting I saw at my state's visual arts coalition membership show. This is not my work. This is Amber Andersen's work. I think this is a nice piece.

Eggrolls with crawfish au gratin and cheese, served with sweet Creole sauce. This is pretty tasty.

Bruchetta from last week.

Salmon cakes for birthday dinner.

My berry creme brulee. This was very tasty.

I recently had my birthday and I went out to eat at a local French restaurant. Seared duck breast with cherry and orange glaze.

Don't yell at me, but I started reading Anne Rice books. I just finished this book.

I was looking at the online menu for a local Italian restaurant and I see this. Todd, you screwed up.

I'm alive. I've been so busy. Here is a frog that I spotted at work weeks ago.

This is not of me, but of my friend who went to the No Kings protest with me on Saturday.

Spotted a Georgia O'Keefe at the Whitney Museum in New York City.

I was most excited about seeing this, mostly because I didnt know the Whitney Museum had any of his stuff in their collection. I knew immediately who this was when I saw it. I can now say I've seen a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting in person. I think this was the highlight of my trip to the Whitney Museum in New York City.

I saw a Yayoi Kasuma piece at the Whitney Museum in New York City. I was pretty excited to see it. I believe this is a part of their permanent collection, and I was there to see the Whitney Biennial.
