FROM THE TIME I WAS A CHILD, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A COUPLE OF PASSIONS IN MY LIFE; TRAVELING, COOKING, AND HISTORY. MY THIRST FOR TRAVELING SATISFLIES ALL 3 OF THOSE DESIRES. I GET TO SEE HISTORICAL STUFF AND EAT NEW CUISINES; AND WITH MY NEW ADVENTURE IN LIFE, LEARN HOW TO MAKE THOSE CUISINES. WITH GOD'S GRACE, THIS HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. HOPEFULLY, I WILL BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE MORE. I AM TRULY BLESSED! These are my stories of travel, historial places, and the food I encounter along the way.
Since I want to be a travelin' chef/critic. I thought it was time for me to rate some of the restaurants that I been to around the world. My first visit will be the above mention restaurant in Baltimore. When I think of crab cakes, I think of Maryland. I asked around and wanted to know the best crab cake place in Baltimore. Well I kept hearing the name "G&M". Actually, my brother had visited Baltimore and one of our childhood friends "Derrick" took him there before. All I can say is "WOW". These had to be the most spectacularcrab cakes that I ever had in my life. I being a Midwestern boy, love me some crab cakes. I had them at some good places and not so good places. But one thing I found out with the Maryland lump cakes....there was meat and I mean meat throughout the crab cake. Just enough ole bay seasoning to give it so much rich flavor. Most crab cakes that I experienced, throughout the years, had more bread or filling then crab meat; and the meat was usually kind of shredded. But there was meat a plentiful. Me being a healthy male thought I could eat two of these monsters....no can do. Not only are they overflowing with crab, they are very big. Since I was on my way to Amsterdam and did not want to take them on the plane, I tried to stuff myself but was only able to eat one and half. G & M is located about 2 miles from BWI and yes they do ship. Price for the cakes are $12 for one and about $23 for two. Well worth the price. If you are ever in Maryland, please visit the best crab cake place on the east coast. And if you cant make it there, you can always order from their website http://gandmcrabcakes.com/ G's rating....

I never been a poetry writer, but one night I was thinking about relationships lost and how they turn. I thought of this poem. I had to write it down before it faded a way. So here is my first attempt at writing something inspirational. Could not think of a name for my poem, but thanks to the lovely Katrina Campbell, she gave me the name
When the love was strong... I looked to my right and you were right there I looked to my left and you never left my side I looked behind me and I saw that you were watching my back I looked in front of me and there was a window with you in it and you had a light and opportunity
When the love faded............ I looked to my right and you had left I looked to my left and nothing was right I looked behind me and you had turned your back I looked in front and the window became a mirror and all I could see was you walking away.
When I found my strength back....... I looked to my right and God said "I've always been right here" I looked to my left and God said "I've never once left your side" I looked behind me and God said "I've always had your back" I looked in front and the mirrow became a door and God said "Take my hand child, and follow me"
Instead of trusting people to watch your sides Know that God is at every side to watch over you.
I Finally come to the understanding that I am on this earth to complete a purpose and that purpose is "God's Purpose". God has bless me with wonderful things and wonderful people in my life. I am truly bless and I have to continue to thank him for those blessings. I try to live life every minute without regrets and thinking I should of done this and I wish I could of done that. So here are my quests, my tales, my stories, and my adventurous...of love, lust, and glutten...but most of all happiness in my adventures.
