The Phantom Mesmerizes!


I had the pleasure of going to see the Phantom of the Opera on New Years Eve night and it was amazing. The music was so enchanting, the costumes were so colorful and beautifully put together. The sets were breathtaking and the music, did I mention the music! I think this is the nicest show I have seen in a long time. I told my wonderful date that I would probably cry and although the tears didn't gush, my eyes did water and I was very moved. I think this is a great experience for anyone to enjoy. Art is life!
Ps. Tailgating in style: In the parking lot before the show with a nice bottle of champagne and fresh king crab legs as a snack - highly recommended!

Green Light for Red Light Dining!

Let me just tell you, there are moments in life when you just eat to get something in your stomach and then there are times in your life when you eat to experience something delightful and Red Light is just that, delightful. Not only is the ambiance casual and laid back but the food is amazing. Everything has a flair or spice added to eat, making your mouth pop with every bite. From the large scallop appetizer served with grapefruit, to the BBQ shrimp which is like nothing you've tried elsewhere, get ready to sit back, unbuckle a bottom and get down and eat. The down home feel of the location goes hand in hand with the down home feel of the food. No fuss, good eats with all kinds of surprises. I really enjoyed myself here. Had dinner and ended up lingering at the bar for 2 hours over good conversation, now where else does anyone do that in Miami without feeling pushed out? They made us delicious martinis made with mint and vodka to die for and the fruit tart dessert was insane! So good!!! I highly recommend that you go here any day of the week with friends to have a good meal and a good time. I also recommend it as a date site as there are some very romantic spots for couples to enjoy. All in all I love this little local spot, we need more places like these in Miami. Enjoy..

Meat Market: Location or food??

I love taking a long hot shower, putting on my favorite dress, my hottest shoes, make up and earrings and going out to eat on the town and this place definitely satisfies the feeling of going out and feeling sexy but does the food follow suit? I have to say I didn't have the most pleasurable gastronomic experience. Setting the mood was the appetizer. King Crab Legs were ordered and all were anxious to dig in. That is until the server was walking towards our table with them. You could smell the fish from down the hall! I didn't want to believe that it was the crab legs so I kept a positive mindset. But sure enough as they arrived the smell was overpowering. I couldn't even bring myself to taste them. Granted it was late at night and all but those Crabs shouldn't have been let out the kitchen! The server sent them back without hesitation and the chef removed them from our bill. The steak was cooked properly and the truffle sauce it was served with was flavorful. But I wasn't wowed. And I like to be wowed. Maybe I expect too much? I don't know but when I'm wearing my hottest shoes and sexy dress, I expect to be impressed. I can't tell you not to go or to go as of yet. This one will definitely take another try to be able to give it a proper review. Giving Meat Market another try.

I'm baaaack

It's amazing how reliant we've become on technology. I swear! I haven't had internet for a few weeks and it feels like I was cast off on a deserted island or stuck under a rock somewhere. It was so difficult to do anything that allowed me to function as a normal individual in society. There were so many moments when I was like "If I had internet!" Like if I had internet I could look it up, if I had internet I could watch that. Oh and to make matters worse, because I moved to a new place I didn't have tv or cable either! I was living like the Omish, and no offense I'm sure its a beautiful way of life but its not for me. Now that I finally have internet I am happy to say that I'm back and I'll be writing again. I missed you all very much as I'm sure you missed me! I also plan to reinvent a few things so stay tuned..

Interesting

I don't think I have ever put pen to paper ad lib style like I am now. I have always put thought into what I was going to write. Always ...
