Sacrifice the body.
My JV volleyball coach always screamed, "sacrifice the body!", when someone would miss a hit that could've been blocked with a dive. Gina sacrificed it for an entirely different reason today - my birthday!
After a long night of little sleep and lots of aches, I thought Nic and I would have to go solo again. Luckily, G mustered the energy for a lunch celebration at Mama's Fish House. The star of the meal might have been the sip of complimentary soup - something with broccolini and sage, we all loved it. It was all pretty tasty - tasty enough that we could say, "Hated it!" when the server came to collect our plates. You might not know it, Jess, but we always do that (at home or out) and recall that story you tell about people doing it. :)
Of course everything is better with Gina and Nic, they made the meal.
We stopped to get snorkel stuff so we can play at the beach tomorrow if all goes well. G is drinking maple/lemon/cayenne and watching Stranger Things with Nic on the couch now to heal up.
The sky and sunset on the way home was absolutely stunning. Kept reminding myself to watch the road and not the sky. G grabbed this parting shot:
Ah Mamas for your birthday meal! And Gina rallied! So what did you think-was it worth it (the $500 dinner)? LOL Happy birthday again Paul! I hope you’re feeling better today G! Jess
ReplyDeleteHi Jess!!! Maybe I should have named the post “Sacrifice the Wallet”. We were still on the lunch menu so came in at $400ish, a small price to pay for an afternoon with Nic and Gina. The food was good, nothing specific that I will remember/crave. Nic liked the lobster tail a lot but it was just steamed with butter so I bet he’d be happy with home preparation. The building itself has lot of interesting details, the beach is picture-perfect. We stopped for shave ice in that little town - watermelon/coconut. The texture was perfect.
