Alice in Wonderland: The Oysters...

"'O Oysters, come and walk with us!' The Walrus did beseech. 'A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, along the briny beach. [...] A loaf of bread,' the Walrus said, 'Is what we chiefly need. Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed"  --Lewis Carroll

I think maybe the sheer boredom of being uncomfortable in my eyeballs but not in enough pain to actually enjoy having to do nothing but rest is getting to me. I definitely have to rest them. In fact I'm typing right now with my eyes closed. I'm not kidding. I'll let you know when I open them.  And I apologize for any typos, but now this feels like a challenge to me.

So I've been writing a lot of reviews in Yelp lately (plug: check out yelp, by user: Katherine H. Filter with Location: Washington, D.C. you should be able to reach me.)

**eyes are open so I can check this info on yelp: go to "Member Search" small tab on right. Type: "Katherine H." Filter by "Location" 2nd mini-page should be "Washington, D.C." Select it. You should see me. eyes closing again...**

A few things about having no kitchen for five weeks. You end up eating out a lot. And hten you start noticing things. At first you think it's unique, or that it's you. It's not. Sometimes patterns are there. I'm not talking Beautiful Mind or Consipiracy Theory here, I'm talkin reality.

I don't like that every place I go to get oysters, they always serve crappy little oyster or saltine crackers. Sure, I get it, that's why they're called oyster crackers, and you don't want anything competing. But honestly, you think cheap little plastic baggies of prepackaged crackers can cut it in  your fine dining establishment??

Now I want to make my own oyster cracker recipe and take them with me next time I go oyster-eating. And then I will pull them out and ask the chef to please eat one with one of his oysters and come talk to me if he wants to get serious about oysters. Like cannonball heavy serious.

Rant over.

Opening eyes. Still stings...
