Good Intentions...Am I Paving the Road to Hell?

I have thought about starting a food blog for a while.  At my soul-crushing, monotonous job, I spend a lot of my time trolling though the plethora of food blogs out there.  Well not just food blogs, but those are the ones that capture my attention. 

It's amazing how much time can be killed with blog surfing. 

Then it hit me.  How much more time could be killed with blog creating.  Talk about lightning bolt.  I created my first post on a whim and then life took over and I haven't cooked at all.  Alright that's a lie.  I actually created a three course dinner that included smoked salmon and cream cheese stuffed into celery stick for appetizers, gazpacho with homemade garlic croutons and cotija cheese and a grilled steak salad with homemade Green Goddess dressing. 

I forgot to take pictures.

I was devastated!  Everything was so pretty. 

I blamed Daum.  Lucky for me, he's a good sport.

So I didn't want to just leave this hanging.  I'm hoping to come into more time as the fall approaches, the cool air swirls in and my need to create and cook returns.

I'll just leave you with one of my favorite things to eat.  Oysters!  I'm so lucky to live New England where the oysters are aplenty and you can always find them on special if you know where to look. 
This weekend took us to Cape Cod for a family wedding; Falmouth, to be exact.  We found ourselves with a little time to kill and lucky for us The Falmouth Raw Bar was right across the street.

It made for a fabulous two hours and two happy campers.  Only one happy camper did not photo well.  Guess who?

Yah not him.....

Bingo!  (We're still not sure what was going on in this picture)  Probably me insisting he tell me when he's going to actually take the picture.  Sadly enough...only one drink in.  Sigh....

My goal is to actually think about pictures.  The view was amazing; our drinks were beautiful and the photos above are all I have to show for it.

VIGILANCE!  That's my new goal.
