A blog chronicling my departure from urban life on the east coast to sheep farm and cheese making life on the west coast. Still recounting the meals I have eaten in my new setting, but with more sheep thrown into the mix.

Research
This guy had the right idea and I thank him for it:
Nice smart alecky tone without being a butthead. Just remember, the blog's date is Feb. 2006 and methinks much can happen, good and bad, to any restaurant in a two year span, but especially to an island one. Those are particularly beset with personnel/supplies/cost escalator/crazy people issues.
But ya gotta love a guy who describes himself as the fat gringo with the bad Spanish!
Double EGAD indeed! If clogs are in the future, I highly recommend the actual wooden bottomed ones from Hanna Anderson, that high end soft cotton clothing catelog we all used to drool over when infant girls and toddler girls were part of the family landscape. Now of course the girls are all not infants or toddlers, at all.
I digress. The wooden ones are fabulously comfortable, they come in all sorts of colors and leather upper styles. Last I checked, about a month ago when I bought some new black ones (the old black ones lasted 10 years and finally died) there were hot pink ones and violet ones on sale for next to nothing. Apparently hot pink in a woman's clog ain't a big seller? Sounds Fabulous for Key West tho.
This summer I may even get the sandal-ish ones. Sorta like the Dr. Scholl's of yore but with better wooden soles. And cuter uppers.
Hanna Anderson was always too pricey for me, but I remember that you could return their used duds for a credit on new purchases. I wonder if they want your clogs!
They do not want my clogs. Really. But even their full price ones are not so bad, like 54 bucks or so for the black ones. And that amortized over the ten years my others lasted is ta da 5.40 a year for the best bug-stomping and back-saving wooden shoes a person could want. Unless that person moves to say Holland and/or the Netherlands, whichever it goes by today, and gets wooden shoes custom fit to the vagaries of one's toes and arches.
Whoa, who knew a link to food places in Key West would lead to the mother of all clog comments? Get it...mother...because one of you is my mother and the other is my godmother.
Oh my god, I knock myself out with my own funniness
