new checklist

My birthday was last weekend. I celebrated it by eating tons of Asian cuisine and tons of seafood in Houston. It was a nice change and the food was yummy to my tummy. We went to Reef, a restaurant in downtown Houston. From the name, it's obviously a seafood restaurant. I do have to say that the fried mac and cheese was pretty damn good. It was shaped like a large cube and was breaded and fried. Once you broke through the hard but crispy outer fried shell, the mac and cheese was gooey and cheesy on the inside. A definite heart attack waiting to happen, but a must try. The mussels were cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. The sauce was a tomato base and was great for bread sopping. Overall, the meal was excellent, but the company was better. Nothing beats having good friends celebrate your last year in your twenties.

Speaking of the last year in my twenties, I've been coerced to make a checklist of things to do before I turn 30. On this list, I'm going to train for a half marathon possibly in February in Austin. Besides that big milestone, I've also decided to look into foods that will enhance my training experience. I'll be posting some recipes that will help in the training process. Healthy doesn't always equate to foods not tasting well. I'll be posting food recipes/critiques that are not only good for you, but taste good too. Here's to a healthy start. See you at the finish line. :)
