Summertime in Fort Lauderdale Part 10

  

One
of the things you learn living in South Florida during August is that
being in an air-conditioned place in the afternoon is the place to be
and why not a restaurant? This afternoon Allen and I went to the
Quarterdeck where he had Chicken Francis with a baked potato
and I had a turkey, lettuce, tomato and onion with mustard on rye and a side ofr broccoli.

  


On
Thursday Arnie and I went to the Quarterdeck--they are running a 'buy 1
get 1 free' deal--he had a turkey burger while I had the turkey
sandwich only for variation I had it on toast!



On
Wednesday Allen and I went to the Rendezvous where he had a skirt steak
with fries (and, shhhhhhh, 2 French pastries!!) while I did a turkey
and cheese on French bread and they put bacon on it which melted into
the cheese!

      

Getting
away from food--I do talk about other things!!!--Norman went on
vacation to New England for a month and I am plant sitting his Ming tree
and I hoping it looks as good when he returns!!



The
following signs were in a restaurant--I don't remember which one--and
they made me smile so I took pictures of them--love the last one!  LOL

I guess an air conditioned restaurant with friends is a great place to spend a hot, muggy Florida afternoon.

As good an excuse as any!

Your restaurants may be fancier, but my Arby's 2 for $4 turkey bacon swiss subs were to die for! I even went out to dinner with a male friend and had a rib-eye steak! Today, it's elephant ears and corn dogs!! Life IS good.

It is very seldom that you will find me in a fast food place--not that I don't love the mybloggers, fattening foods just that having been a waiter for 38 years I prefer being waited on when I go out to eat!
