WOW well my weekend started out really crappy but what can I say I had a great time on Friday and Saturday nights for dinner. So here is my Cowboy Restaurant Review II for the 2 following restaurants:
Friday Night - Harvest Restaurant
Harvest features fresh local and seasonal ingredients, beautifully presented, in a casual, warm setting. Harvest takes American cuisine to a new level, transforming seafood, steaks, chicken, game, and vegetables into multi-tiered presentations of flavors and textures. Centrally located in the Clayton-Richmond Heights corridor,
Harvest is just 5 minutes from downtown St. Louis.
I can totally agree with the above statement that I pulled off of their website.
OMG OMG OMG The food here at this establishment was top notch and SO SO SO Good!
I want to thank Terry, Mary, Don, Paula, and most of all my partner Tom for the great evening here.
Here is what indulged in:
Appetizer:
Salmon/Cucumber Salad - YUM!!!
Pan Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras
Five Spice Brioche, Rice Wine Gastrique, Orange-Ginger Marmalade
Okay so I know..Goose liver. I never thought I would like this but I have to tell you it is like eatting butter and my cholesterol just went WAY UP!! :-)
Main Course:
Pan Roasted Jumbo Scallops
Root Vegetable Risotto, Citrus-Watercress Vinaigrette
I have to say that this was the best Scallops I have had in a long time. I am a total Seafood nut and these were prepared so so so well.
Dessert:
So for dessert I wanted the White Chocolate Creme Brulee so I ordered it and then Don told me that I had to have the Bread Pudding too. So I ordered both!
Everyone around the table dug in and we all enjoyed the great food and the wonderful service that we had a the restaurant. Oh by the way. Thanks Liz!! Your the best!!
Saturday Night - The Melting Pot
The Melting Pot provides a unique, upscale and intimate dining experience with its assortment of fondue, cooked at the table by the guests. It is the perfect location for a romantic evening, corporate dinner party or friendly gathering. Guests enjoy a choice of four flavorful fondue-cooking styles and a variety of tasty entrees combined with special dipping sauces. The menu also includes creamy cheese fondues, fresh salads, fine wines and mouthwatering chocolate fondue desserts.
Okay again I agree with the above statement taken from the website.
I have been to the Melting Pot before but it has been a few years. This night out was a share celebration with my good friend Sam. Happy Birthday HOOKER! :-)
I do have to say that I agree with my friend Sam that this would not be a good first date place to take someone too. Well for one thing it take about 3 hours to fully enjoy everything they have to offer you.
Here is what we had for the night.
We ordered the BIG NIGHT OUT which is the following:
Feng Shui Cheese Fondue
A perfectly balanced blend of Fontina and Butterkäse cheeses with a serene touch of rice wine, sake, minced shallots, garlic and scallions.
Mandarin and Almond Oriental Salad
A mix of Romaine lettuce, red cabbage and carrots topped with toasted almonds, wonton strips, mandarin orange wedges and completed with an Asian-inspired dressing.
Fondue Fusion with Zen Cooking Style - Vegetable bouillon base seasoned with ginger and fresh lemon grass
Dippers...
Lobster Tail, Vannamei Shrimp, Ahi Tuna, Teriyaki Sirloin, Beef Tenderloin, Panang Chicken and Potstickers
Chocolate Fondue
The Melting Pot experience isn’t complete without one!!
Bailey’s® Irish Cream Dream Our milk chocolate swirled with Bailey’s Irish Cream. YUM!!!!
Dippers...
Fresh strawberries, bananas and pineapple, plus cheesecake, tasty marshmallows, pound cake and brownies for you to dip into any of our decadent chocolate fondue creations.
All I can say was that this was a great night out with two of my best friends. Oh and my big handsome partner Tom! :-)
I am so looking forward to going back to both of these 2 restaurants.
They are on the top of my list on places to revisit!

Top 10 Fetishes from Askmen.com
Do you have any of these fetishes???
10 - Stomachs
Men and women both agreed that taut tummies make them somewhat crazy. But others said that they would never bed a potential partner if their tummies protruded or hung loosely.
Some guys weren't as picky and admitted that they liked it when a woman had a tummy with a teensy-weensy little pot. One gentleman was very adamant about needing to release himself on a woman's stomach or his experience simply wouldn't be pleasurable.
9 - Body piercing
This one was quite popular with the younger crowd (18-35). Everything from bellybuttons, tongues and nipples to eyebrows and penises was not only acceptable, but for a specific few, it was a prerequisite.
One guy told us that he loves tongue rings because after being pleasured by a girl who had one, he couldn't go back to the "ordinary." The feeling of the cool object rubbing against his penis while her hot mouth engulfed him "felt like heaven."
8 - Leather, rubber, vinyl, latex
Men seem to love material; perhaps not the actual feel of it, but the rather pornographic quality it gives to a sexual encounter. Although men look to settle down with a sweet woman, most will forever have a fixation with that "bad girl" look.
"Watching a woman move around in anything tight and shiny is a tease in itself," says one gentleman. Another man told me that his girlfriend's entire wardrobe consists of latex and leather.
7 - Domination and submission
To my amazement, most women dominate and most guys submit. HELLO! A lot of women said they love to order their men around in bed like slaves and spank them, smack them, and even penetrate them with a strap-on.
Guys, on the other hand, enjoy submitting to women and being told what to do. I guess most of them are probably tired of performing all the time. Everything I mentioned that the women do -- well, the men enjoy having those things done to them. Welcome to the new millennium.
6 - Feet and Hands
You knew this fetish was coming didn't you? Men enjoy licking, sucking, kissing, and biting women's feet almost exclusively. Some guys simply can't date a woman if she has ugly feet or toes.
Women, I was surprised to learn, love to suck on men's fingers and some can even orgasm off that alone. "There's something about pleasuring a man's finger as though it was a penis that gives me orgasmic pleasure," said one woman from Seattle.
5 - Fingernails and Lipstick
It's the cliche of the '80s: red lipstick and long, red-lacquered fingernails. Well, guess what? Some guys are still obsessed with that whole thing. They enjoy feeling a woman's nails running down their backs.
As well, they like kissing a woman and smudging her lipstick all over both their faces. Why? Because it gives them the feeling of having adulterated sex, i.e. sex with a prostitute.
4 - Braids, Ponytails, and Pigtails
Hair, it's no surprise, was a very big fetish among guys. Blond, brunette, redheaded, braided, long, short, thick, curly, straight... you name it, they thought of it. But braids, pigtails and ponytails caught my attention. I have two theories as to why some men are into pigtails.
First, they have a preference for younger women (to say the least) and because of the illusion that pigtails and ponytails emanate, the fetishists feel as though they are fulfilling their desires.
Second, when the hair is tied up in these various ways, it could resemble a whip, to a certain extent. "Women can whip me with their hair: the ultimate turn-on." said one man from Boston. I can definitely see the latter example as working.
Some women have a fetish involving no hair: bald men. They love rubbing a man's bald head whilst in a passionate embrace. Did you hear that Costanza ? You're actually preferred by women.
3 - Water
Believe it or not, many variants of water were popular with both men and women. Many women declared that they enjoyed sex best when they could hear or be in running water. Whether it be rain, the shower or even an opened faucet -- so long as they heard water of some sort.
Although it's not exactly water, many women (and some men) absolutely obsess over thunder and lightning. "The powerful sound and the sudden flashes of light give my body a feeling of empowerment. My husband and I make plans to meet whenever we know that a storm is in effect," said a woman from Colorado.
2 - Golden Showers
I know this one doesn't sound very inviting, but it was a popular one. Some guys love to watch a woman urinate on them as a method of foreplay. Other guys like to relieve themselves on women before they can actually get down to business.
Why? Well, the reason for this also deals with submission. Being peed on is somewhat degrading and if you allow someone to do it to you, then you're submitting and if you do it to someone else, then they are succumbing to you.
1 - Voyeurism and exhibitionism
A lot of guys admitted that they couldn't get off with their partner unless they were watching pornography or another couple in the act. Even if they witnessed two people having sex or caught some erotic movies on television accidentally (yeah, right) when not with their partner, they had to masturbate.
Only a minute amount of women admitted that they are voyeuristic to the point where they needed to see sex whilst engaging in it. Oddly enough, however, quite a few women like being watched . One woman from New Orleans wrote, "I make sure to open the blinds fully before I make love with my partner."

Halliburton says BYE BYE to the US and Unleashes the Energy in the United Arab Emirates.
WTF? I mean a company that was here in the US is now going to the UAE so that they won't have to pay taxes. Also this is the same company that has all the Government contracts in IRAQ to help rebuild that country. Oh and not to mention who has the biggest thing to gain from this? That's right our Vice President Dick Chaney! Well all I can say is THANKS DICK!

Is it right for us to abuse and disgrace the US Flag???
I know what you are saying that everyone can protest and that it is covered under the first amendment blah blah blah. It's not that I have a issue with the protest it is the people at this protest that think it is ok to do what they want with the flag of the United States. I have a problem with someone walking on or dragging it behind them just because they are pissed off about the US. I am so tired of seeing images like these in the newspaper, on the news, and on the web. It angers me to think that someone who lives in the US would do this to the flag of their country. So I ask you this question do you think that it is right for people to do this? Does it anger you? Cause God knows it angers me every time that I see this.

Have You Hugged Someone Today???
Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man who's sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.
In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.
As this symbol of human hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.
In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, PASS THIS TO A FRIEND and HUG A STRANGER! After all, If you can reach just one person...
In a recent post that Southwest Airlines done I found this video.
I think that Southwest is trying to share the LUV with everyone.
By the way Southwest....Thanks for flying to SFO (San Francisco International Airport) and DEN (Denver International Airport) again because I was very sad that you quit flying to both of theses cities. I have to pass on that your flight attendants are the best in the business and I wish other airlines would follow suite with the way that your people always smile and have the best attitude!!!
So some LUV and fly Southwest.
Cause sometimes you just gotta get away!

Ann Coluter using the "F" word doesn't make you COOL....
I was totally outraged when in a recent C-Span video of Ann Coulter she told the Republicans at CPAC:
“I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate, John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word ‘faggot–so….’"
What the Hell????
Well Ann if you can use the "F" word I am going to use the "C" word.
You are a CUNT!! You know rumor has it that the trannies in NY want to help you look a little LESS Masculine so I would take them up on their offer you spineless bitch! I have never been a fan of a woman who tries too hard to be on the right wing of Politics. Ann who's Kool-Aid have you been drinking? OH and by the way Anorexic bitch eat a cheeseburger before your dress falls off your body! Oh and tell your LESBIAN lover hi for me okay??
