I love this quote. So true.
I have been so slack in my postings. Playing catch up today so I’m kind of all over the place.
We had Sunday brunch at a fav restaurant from previous years Cobalt, The Restaurant in Orange Beach. https://cobaltrestaurant.net. We’ve eaten here many times over the past years but first time this year.
Now they don’t open on Sunday until 11:00 am but last year the hostess told us (on the sly) that they actually open at 10:30 am for locals. Woo Hoo. No more standing in line hoping for a table.
Most meals were good but as I was eating my vegetarian omelet I noticed there was no cheese in it. Mentioning it to our server he said he’d take it back and have them add cheese. Upon his return he informed me that the veggie omelet doesn’t have cheese in it (Hmmm. Advertised as vegetarian not vegan) but they added cheese just for me. Oops. Silly me. I hadn’t noticed that in the menu.
Oh yes. They added cheese. Have a look. I mean really, really look at it. Can you believe it? Really? That’s the best they could do?
Mmmm. Cheese slice thrown on top. And a processed cheese slice at that. Have you ever seen anything less appetizing? And to top it off they added a $1 charge to the bill for the cheese. Was I impressed? I don’t think so.
On a positive note we attended a local production of The Wizard of Oz.
We arrived 30 minutes before showtime but as it was general seating we still ended up in the back row. No problem. We could see really well and the sound was excellent. Amazing performers, sets, orchestra, technical effects, etc. I was impressed. And a smart music director. Most might not have noticed but as I know the songs so well I could tell when notes or sections of songs were changed to fit the singers’ ranges. And some Munchkins speaking their parts instead of singing them. Like I said. Smart director.
Supper afterwards at Tacky Jacks. https://www.tackyjacks.com/locations-gs
We had Fried Green Tomato Fries for an appetizer. First timers to this unique dish. Not bad.
Unfortunately they were the best part of the meal. You win some, you lose some.
We’re still working towards accomplishing the Walk the Line steps challenge. I think we’re doing really well. Every day we’ve met or surpassed our daily goal. At this rate, barring any mishaps, we’ll have walked the required amount before the end date of March 7th. Yay for us.
Gulf State Park, where we’ve previously gone on walks, has some nice restaurants. https://www.alapark.com/parks/gulf-state-park/dining-0
This week we went to Foodcraft. They offer what they locally call, Snowbirds Specials.
Winter Dinner Special Night for us. Joined by our friends Steve and Caroline from Minnesota. All except Richard had the salmon. Outstanding. Unfortunately Richard’s chicken was not.
Last night we had our friends Joanne and Jeanne from Michigan over for supper. Always enjoy their company. Only a couple of more weekly meals with them before they leave.
The house next to us began to be demolished yesterday but I’ll share that with you another day.
Still not caught up in sharing all that’s been happening but I’ll get there.
