How much is too much?

So, I have been debating how much information I should divulge on my blog. I am normally a pretty open person, but if anyone can read my blog, how personal should I be? I guess I will just cross that path when I come to it.

If you can't already tell from my widget, I am pregnant. Almost 22 weeks. The time has flown by thank goodness. The first three months were horrible, all day sickness! Now I am just dealing with the fact that I am getting bigger and bigger and bigger. I want to eat everything. I was never really a carb eater, but now I don't feel like I can get enough. I need to watch what I am eating because I am starting to gain so much weight. Yuck. (But I LOVE food).

So back to my analysis of local resturants. Dave and I ate at Red, a new resturant that opened about a month or two months ago on Washington Ave. The atmosphere was very nice. A long narrow resturant, with lots of concrete and obviously lots of red. They mentioend that after 10:30 p.m. or so, thier goal is to turn it more into a night club. So, if you are like Dave and I, we were long gone by then. Plus being pregnant puts a damper on night life. Anyway, to the food...the salad appetizer dish we got was not great (it was spicy lettuce of something like that). The flat bread pizza was pretty boring. Dave ordered two small plates. A modernized beef stroginoff and a beef tenderloin with a cognac sauce and potatoes. They were the most amazing dishes. The beef literally melted in our mouths. It was amazing. I got a fish dish, which was very tasty as well, light and flacky with a grapfruit and strawberry sauce. Although it was nice, the beef was amazing. We highly reccomend trying it out. It wasn't cheap, but it wasn't outrageously expensive either. The wait staff was wonderful. We will go back, if we are ever in the mood to eat downtown again.

Okay, back to work.

Something New

So I am very new at this whole blog thing. I stole the baby widget from Charisa because it was really cool and she had it on her blog. So Dave and I decided that since we have this blog and we (I mean really "I") have always thought it would be fun to be a food critic, so when we try new places in St. Louis and around the country, I will be sure to let you know our thoughts.

We ate brunch at this new place (for us at least) Geyer House in Soulard. They were written up in Sauce Magazine as having a nice brunch. We did not like it because there was very little variety. The only redeeming quality was the free dessert, which was a peach bread pudding and a banana bread cake thing. They were both tasty, but not tasty enough for us to go back and eat there.

More to come...

Good Morning

This is my first post. More to come later.
