Valentine's Day 2008 - Success!

First the sketch of the day, another panel in progress from "Dead Inspector".

Secondly, Operation: Valentine's Day 2008 was officially a raging success. D and I had lunch at Morimoto's (as in Iron Chef Morimoto) which I can only describe as sublime. The meal truly was exquisite and easily the best Japanese food I've ever put in my mouth. We had dinner at Bar Americain, one of Bobby Flay's restaurants (as in Iron Chef too!) with D's parents. It was my little surprise for D to give her another chance to see her parents before we leave for California. The food was good, but in yesterday's Iron Chef showdown - Morimoto truimphed. The night capped off with tickets to go see "Rent" on Broadway, our favorite musical. Neither of us had seen it live and we loved it. It really was a fantastic experience and a magical day.

Daily Sketch #30

Chef Duff

I'm a big Food Network geek. I watch way too many cooking shows and Iron Chef America. This season I also started tivoing "Ace of Cakes" because I noticed that it was based out of Baltimore. I don't know why, but I get a big kick out of seeing all of the local landmarks and places I recognize on the show. Plus Chef Duff Goldman and his staff seem like really cool, fun people. So today's sketch is a quick doodle of Duff done while I was watching last week's new episode.
And as a bonus, a little sketch of my cat Ender. Poor guy had a long weekend, his paw got infected due to an allergic reaction to the killer pollen in Baltimore this spring. The vet over at Northwest Animal Hospital took awesome care of him on Friday though and he's on the mend. But this morning he decided his breakfast didn't agree with him and ejected it all over the carpet in my living room... right in front of the couch. I suppose I should be happy it wasn't ON the couch...

Good Monday morning to all...
