Much has been happening in ethmar.com-land, so rather than let this web site sit idly by, here are some random thoughts to entertain and inform for the time being:
Dallas Short List: It needs an overhaul, totally. There are things to add and things to subtract. I won't go on about the additions just yet, since that defeats the purpose of updating the list, but I will segue neatly into...
Central Market: Good God, man! It only exists in Texas. Which is not to say that there's no other place like it on Earth, or in the US, more to the point, but hot damn! It's both a blessing and a curse to have such a great grocery nearby such as this. I got 2 Maine lobster tails the other day for $6.99 apiece, and to go with it, I got the infamous Normandy butter (as seen on Food Network). Oh. My. God. This butter, coupled with this lobster, is the meaning of life. Thousands of years of philosophy and theology have been laid waste by a single bite of dinner. I remarked that the lobster tails (which actually is the only part of the lobster we like anyway) cost less than it did for the whole shootin' match in Maine itself. We just went back today and bought more. We're bad, bad people.
