I came all the way from Brussels to America...

...to discover a Belgian restaurant within walking distance of Rock Grrrl's apartment in Occoquan, Virginia.belgique gourmande.jpg

Life is full of surprises.

And today is a historic day, y'all. No, I'm not talking about the celebration of American independence, I'm talking about something really important to the world and blogosphere: this is my 500th post! When you see the fireworks tonight, you'll know the U.S. is celebrating a truly momentous occasion. I fully expect the President to send me an e-mail and invite me for dinner. I hope he serves BBQ. : )

Hey, congrats on your 500th post, V-GRRRL!

So, did you try that Belgian restaurant? I hear that there is a Belgian restaurant in Pittsburgh, they serve moules-frites. I have to try it.

If you eat there, let me know if it's any good. :-)

Happy 500 and Happy 4th!

Congratulations on the 500th post! Ooh and congratulations on finding the Belgian restaurant. You know, just in case you get homesick. ;)

V, you're in my zone! When Lil' C was just a babe we went to that restaurant. How crazy is that?

Congratulations on your 500th post!

Dedicating your 500th post to Belgian cuisine was quite a surprise.
It just made me proud to be Belgian ;-)

Happy 4th from rain-swept Belgium (at 60°F with pouring rain you won't be missing Brussels for a second :-)

Peter,

I must have taken all the sunshine with me...Sending free hugs back to the Antwerp bloggers to compensate. :)

Happy 500th!!

Now... did you actually eat there?

Silly V, the president couldn't spell BBQ even if you spotted him the two B's

Wow 500! I dont think I will ever get there. I/O

500? You're a bloggin' machine!

Ortizzle, I didn't eat there. My kids were lobbying for America's famous Arby's roast beef sandwiches and it just seemed wrong to eat Belgian food outside of Belgium.

Happy 500th! Wow. Which one is your favorite post?
July 7, 2007 | Unregistered Commenterlittlepurplecow
