What is that above?  That is a picture of the totally random pub--The Old Shades--we nipped into to escape the rain when we were in London in November of ’09.  I love exploring new places, especially new places to eat.  I think a good meal should be an experience.  It should be something you want to share with others...or something to warn them against.  You are not a car, simply something to pump fuel into a move on.  After all, we all have to eat to live.  Why not have fun while you’re doing it, right?  And it’s sometimes easier to do that when you’re out of your normal, everyday environment, so go out and enjoy yourself!
