Tasty, Very Tasty

We went to the Taste of Lincolnshire this weekend. I was hoping it would prove better than the Taste Of Chicago, which I found a little disappointing; and it was!!

The participants, although much fewer, really got it right. We had some mexican from El Barrio, some margaritas from Champps, some fantastic ice cream from Maggie Moos, chinese food from Simon Lins and some more cocktails from Carluccis. The portions were all very generous, and the pricing pretty good too. The end result being that we will definitely patronise those folks in future.

They had some pretty good entertainment too, with a string quartet on Saturday afternoon and the award winning Beatles tribute band, British Export on Saturday night, complete with the haircuts, Sergeant Peppers Outfits and pretty good scouse accents to boot. Check out a sample of their stuff, here and here.

Vote For The Cutest Baby

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
