Dawn~ Let me start off by saying that I have LOVED every review you have done thus far! I admit I lurk a lot (more so then I would like) but I am always reading with great enjoyment!
I fully agree that a food review is more then just "we went _____ and I had ____ and it was good". Food in general is about feeling and emotion and what you put into it along with the ingredents!
I am so sorry for the loss of several of your friends reciently and am patiently awaiting the time that you come back to us and fill us in on the epicurious delights you whitnessed and partook of!
