Rhonda and I nipped out for some shellfish and fries to celebrate her birthday last night. It was a chance to eat some of Sweet Amalia’s amazing namesake oysters and fries. We got some steamed clams too, which replaced on our table (but not in our hearts) their excellent mussels.

Just before sunset is a great time to sit outside and swallow some shellfish. The hard afternoon sun gives way to soft, golden light. It’s hard to kiss another weekend goodbye, but this made it–ahem–sweet indeed.

There was a cool Ford Fiesta ST in the parking lot, too. I sent a picture to Aaron and my dad, both car nuts.
