Spring Training, with a dash of Disney. Live.

I realize that it is probably because I have no class or raised in the hills, but, if I order a pasta based meal that contains scrimp I want the damn tail removed. I don't want to be picking up things with my fingers covered with sauce, be it cheese or tomato. It seems very primitive to me. Grilled OK, Cocktail OK but, anything in a prepared entree needs to be edible. You don't find chicken bones or beef bones in a equivalent entree do you? (at least not unless it was accidentally left there) To me somebody with a desire to make some weird eating rule came up with that tail on thing. It needs to be gone. Chefs, stop being lazy, remove the tails. It only takes a second, if that long. Rant over!

I don't know why I have to take all the free stuff, but I do. It's a compulsion.

Day 1 of my collection:


(In all fairness, I put a handful of stuff together with some mints or candy and $20 in a Ziplock bag, and hand them out to homeless people.)

 

[JenniferS]

I don't eat brekkie generally (making an obvious annual exception for Kona!), but Hubby does.

What he doesn't do is wait for pics!

(The water and coffee are mine.)



Not a bad set-up for free brekkie, 10 minutes before they shut down:


Son #1 would be in his glory. That boy loves him some Belgian waffles.

No pics of the pastry section, 'cause you know ... carbs.

Hubby is complaining that there is no Bailey's at the coffee set-up. "It's St. Paddy's Day for Pete's sake".

 

[JenniferS]

Hubby wants y'all to know - he's calling it now:
Kent State over UCLA later today.

I bring them home for my daughter. She's not a girly girl by ANY means but she absolutely LOVES bath products. I get samples of haircare products in the mail all the time so I pack the little packets when I go away and bring her home what the hotel has. I actually just remembered my dad used to do that for me.

So @JenniferS - where are you two kids off to today?

I want to see the ocean.

We're going to go stroll around what we consider "our hotel" and watch the dolphins (lower case) hopefully.

Some shopping.

And Mr. Nervous wants to scope out the parking situation for tomorrow's game.

Right now we're lingering over coffee, hoping our room is cleaned in the meantime.

 

[JenniferS]

His and Hers?

Osso buco, anyone?

 

[JenniferS]

St. Paddy's Day attire? Nah, it's just a day that ends in "y".

 

[JenniferS]

The view from our room. The ocean is just behind those trees.

Home:

Here:


In numbers I understand.


And we're off ....

Gorgeous blue sky through the sun roof.

We have a Culver's right by our hotel. Someone remind me please - we like Culver's, right?

Do people?

I do. Good burgers, and lots of other choices, too. Plus, the frozen custard is excellent.

 

[JenniferS]

Holy jumping, these roads are crazy busy! All the stupid Canadians need to go home. March Break is over, people!

Looks like we'll be heading out to the game right after breakfast tomorrow.

 

[JenniferS]

We like Mama's in Tarpon - they always remember us there, and I love the food. You can usually find coupons for them right out in the plaza.

Driving through Tarpon Springs right now. Is Mama Maria's on Alt 19 the place? Or is there another place just called Mama's?

 

[Nemo14]

I'm pretty sure it's just Mama's or maybe Mama's Greek Cuisine or something like that.
