I didn't include the cole slaw in the picture. I figured how badly
could they screw up a simple fried seafood platter? Obviously they
could, and they did. Yes, those practically uncooked blobs were
supposed to be oysters. I threw them out. I've had much better food at
Dead Lobster!

When I went to pick up my dinner one of my (seasonal) neighbors was
having an appetizer at the bar. He said, "Now you know where I go most
nights! I don't cook and I have to make a dent in that dining
assessment." You and me both, pal. He said, "Yeah, but you're here all
year." I smiled. But what I was thinking was hey, it was your decision
to buy and furnish a home here but not actually *live* in it. Heh.
