Saying GoodBye to the Red Dragon

After 160,000 miles of faithful service, I have given the Red Dragon up, and she will now serve a new master.
I can remember back in college, the long treks from Michigan to New Jersey. Coming home during breaks for some home cooked meals, and then driving back to school. Naming it the Red Dragon when the muffler system was shot and it made the loudest growl known to man. RD, you and I have had some good memories. We've been to countless places together. Pretty much circled the globe TWICE with the miles we traveled.
Anyways, parting is always difficult. So let's leave it at that. Great memories, great times.

OMG! I'm so sad.

AHHH...The Red drangon....the really bad power ballads you used to play, the sappy, almost unlistenable Japanese love songs. The porn mags in the back that young, exchange students used to giggle over as you drove them around. And, yes, yes, for some odd reason, the cast iron skillet that you always had ready in your truck.

I will miss the Red Dragon......

Doesn't Katie Curic and Baby Noah look a little alike? Or am I just crazy? Baby Noah is Jon and Lauren's little boy for those of you looking at this scratching your heads. They are actually the couple that got me into blogging in the first place... Visit them at HowBourgeois

i'm kinda excited to visit taiwan later this month. a lot has changed since i was there in 2000. taipei 101 for instance is now the world's tallest building. quite an accomplishment for a country of 23 million and roughly the size of maryland and delaware combined. the architectural and engineering marvels of the building are amazing.

Steaks !!! Yeahhhhh !!!

I grilled up some steaks with our new DiLonghi indoor grill set tonight. The rear two slabs of sirloin were dusted with my buddy Dave's rub(I will write more about this soon. Man, is it good), and the two in front were just seasoned with salt and pepper. The meal was a hit and we had enough leftover for a kick ass lunch tomorrow... Planning on making some wraps with alfalfa, avocados, julienned cucumbers and sliced shell steaks. I think a shiso/ponzu sauce drizzled over the goodies will help bind all the flavors together. OOOH, lunch is going to be so good.
