I miss East Coast seafood
Jun. 5th, 2011 05:03 pmToday is turning out wonderfully. It started out with seeing X-Men: First Class with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
the_croupier and that was a good solid movie. I enjoyed the visuals and James McAvoy's talents were on display in a great way. Rick and I agreed that you could tell the people in the movie enjoyed making it, Thor was the same way. James was so clearly relishing the chance to be Charles with references to Patrick Stewart and brilliant. I'm not allowed to get a Charles Xavier's voice but I might see the movie again.
After that Rick and I headed to Zingerman's Roadhouse where sadly I discovered, they don't really know how to do fried oysters. I love oysters and my mother taught me to flash fry them and I've been missing seafood, so I tried their oyster po'boy. It was one of those dishes that was overthought, too much breading, too fancy bread, too much other stuff and not enough focus on the oysters. Though it led to a wonderful conversation about how easy it is to cook seafood since when its good, the trick is to not do too much to it. The only problem is I can't get to Copp's, the hidden away seafood store that my parents good to in Lewes and buy scallops or oysters or catfish and make something myself.
Today I also got a wonderful early birthday/graduation gift from my oldest brother, a 100 dollar gift certificate for Amazon which knowing me will take a while to spend. And yesterday I figured out how to spend this weird online only gift card that I got for doing a Twitter survey, I bought stuff from Lush.
At the moment, I just started my shift and when I get home, I'll do my reading for class tomorrow and on Wednesday, I'll turn thirty. Life is good.
