Restaurant Guide

I promise to return to the realm of Christian dialogue, but I am wanting to venture off into another direction today. Tomorrow's... back to the Kingdom.

But for today, I thought I would include a story about a favorite restaurant. Now, I want to confess: I am not a culinary critic. I will eat at Wendy's or McDonald's and be very happy. That being said, sometimes you need REALLY good food. When that need is there, I have two or three restaurants I love to go to.

Megan is really into sushi. She loves it, and she would eat it three times a week if I would let her (and if either of us could afford it!) I... well, I tolerate it. I don't think it is bad, and I even enjoy it on occasion. I guess the correct term is "on occasion." But it makes her happy, so we go.

We have found a sushi restaurant that both of us love. If you are ever in KC you need to go to the Legends and try out Stix. The staff is amazing and the chefs create the most mouthwatering Chinese and Japanese cuisine. Their sushi is the highest rated in KC. The food is the same at lunch and dinner (Just smaller portions, but not MUCH smaller), but the prices rise for dinner. So... I suggest going there before 3.

Suggested Meal:
Wonton Soup (For two) - $5.95
Spicy Szhechuan Beef - $9.95

If you are a sushi lover, definitely try out the Volcano Roll and the Las Vegas roll; you will be in raw fish heaven.

I love Asian culture and Asian cuisine. This restaurant is amazing. Give them a shot.

A New Addiction...

It is shameful to admit, but I have an addiction. I am not sure how to handle it, but I have been without my fix for the last four days and I am really starting to feel the effects. I am having a withdrawal (of sorts), and I am not sure how much longer I can go without another taste...

My addiction is the Food Network. I simply cannot get enough. People taking everyday ingredients (or the weirdest stuff on the planet I wouldn't even imagine putting into my mouth) and making the most incredible looking meals. I make steak, salad and potatoes; they make garlic and horseradish encrusted NY Strip Steak topped with sauteed mushrooms, a bleu cheese topped salad of fresh greens and potatoes al gratin that simply would make a Stoic weep with delight.

The resident Wizards of the Order of the Golden Spatula include such culinary greats as Bobby Flay, Emeril Legasse, Rachel Ray, and (my personal favorite) Giada de Laurentiis (who is a total hottie). It is amazing what they can do with immense creativity and so little effort. I am envious!

By the way, if anyone DOES have a great idea for what I can cook Megan tomorrow night, please let me know...
