A whole month since my last post? Sacrebleu! In my defense, I have had a pretty crazy month. I've been working on my final project for my master's degree, I started an awesome new job, and Neil and I got engaged. Things have been a bit whirlwind-ish of late! Hopefully these are valid excuses for my neglect of Blog Tartare.
So many things have happened food-wise in the last month that I have wanted to write about. My first (amazing) meal at Proof on Main. Sushi in the City. Our friend Lisa's wine and cheese party. The ever-increasing awesomeness of ValuMarket. My nascent herb garden. My first two wonderful meals at Cafe Lou Lou. All the various food events that I haven't been keeping up with. (I've even been neglecting the Louisville HotBytes forums, which are my Internet crack!)
The good news is that things seem to be settling down a bit around here. The other good news is my new job has put us in a position such that the city's top restaurants are no longer financially out of our reach. Which is not to say, of course, that we'll be eating at those places all the time. But I think we'll be able to manage a splurgey meal every month or two. There are a lot of places that have been on my list for a long time that I'm finally going to get to try. I can't wait!
You may have noticed that although this blog is supposed to be a joint venture between me and Neil, I've done all of the writing up to this point. Neil, however, dined at 610 Magnolia last night. If he's going to go to 610 Magnolia without me, I think the least he can do is provide Blog Tartare with a review. I'm going to do some arm-twisting when he gets home and see what I can do about that. Stay tuned!
