February 22, 2006 Courtyard Cafe, Swap Shop, Oscar

We went for lunch at the Courtyard Cafe in Wilton Manors--for a
restaurant that has been in business for so many years should be such a
disaster!!! After waiting for an hour the waiter came over and told us
the cook just informed him that they were out of the salmon Alfredo
ordered. Finally when our food was served Gino's Black Forest sandwich
instead of coming onpumpernickel as it should cam,e on rye--right! They ran out of pumpernickel! Oh well, at least the sweet potato French fries were good, if too salty.

We
went to the Swap Shop afterwards which is one of the largest flea
markets in the world and has one of the last movie drive in theatres
with 17 screens. I had not been there in twenty years and didn't
realize that all of Fort Lauderdale goes to the Swap Shop on Sunday. The place was jammed pack. We didn't stay too long.

Inside, outside, rides, flowers, fruits, vegetables and, of course, food.
 

                       
                                    



Now
we are watching the Oscars and eating pizza we ordered in--and Milk has
won 2 awards so far with the writer giving a very moving thank you
speech---who could ask for anything more??? (Okay, for Sean, Josh, Winslet and Milk to win the major awards!)
