Yesterday I had jury duty...didn't get picked but spent the whole day in what I'd call court kindergarten. I have much more to say on jury duty but I have a horrid cold and I feel like crap, but I did want to tell you (I have a few local people who come to my blog) that you must go to Metric Bar & Grill a restaurant right by the Ffld County Courthouse in Bridgeport. It's on 39 Cannon St, Bridgeport, CT. It's the hottest spot in 30 miles and the best food I've had in ages -- if ever!

The chef Pierre Desruisseaux is an amazing food artist, and if you are lucky he'll even have some Red Velvet Cake for your dessert. Unbelievably good food. Best of all, is Pierre who could well be my cousin as my grandmother had the same last name prior to marriage, and came from the same town in Quebec that Pierre's father did. He, his staff and his customers make the place rock.

If a tall pretty lady with long dark hair is behind the bar, tell Joanna I said hello. She makes the best caipirinha this side of Brazil. I want to say more but my head is pounding and the couch and ginger ale is calling me. So is the NCIS marathon, perfect for a day when you feel awful.

If you go to Metric, tell Pierre his cousin sent you! Order anything, it's all superior!!

Thanks LInda, this has been one hell of a cold, I'm almost thinking flu rather than cold. But, I am improving slowly but surely! Hope you are all through being sick now. Soon spring will be here and daffodils and crocus will give us some hope that the warm weather is coming! I almost never get sick in the warm weather. xoxo
