I had a fabulous Thanksgiving break. I want to stress that it went very well — exceeded my expectations, even — and I am very grateful for that. Our turkey even had legs, for crying out loud!
That said, there were a couple of big disappointments along the way, namely:
- The 178 Club was out of cheese sticks (aka “cheese logs”). I was crestfallen. Yeah, the steak was good, but I go for the cheese sticks, and couldn’t wait for Daniel to behold the glory that is the 178 Club cheese log. My mom assures me we can go back at Christmas to try again — and you better believe I’m calling ahead to reserve cheese sticks in addition to our table! {sigh}
- Diamond Head (more colloquially known as “Cashew Kitty” or the “Fish Head Palace”) was closed. For a week. Vacation! The nerve!
- I YET AGAIN drove through Fayetteville (twice!) and failed to have a peach margarita at Jose’s.
OK, so those are all food related. But still. Some things are not to be missed … and I missed most of them. Grrr.
