Mr. Whiskers

He looked at me in disbelief, 

I could see it in his eyes, 

"Why are you here?"

It's my act of mercy.

My husband has been wonderful and he deserves

something special, over the top special.

So I agreed to eat at a fish place. 

(Ewwww)

When we visit my mom I like to eat at

On The Border  

because they have these absolutely wonderful

Mango Margaritas !!!!

Now, I'm not much of a drinker but these are SO tasty.

On day 2 I received a message from my husband

with a link to Mr. Whiskers so I thought it was a hint.

It's FISH!!

OK, some chicken but still meat.

I'm not a vegetarian, I eat a little meat.

Especially bacon.

But this is mostly meat and FISH.

I agreed so we set off for this little fish diner up the

road from Mom's house. I get up to the counter to order

and I stop in my tracks.  Fish, fish and more fish.

I tell the person taking the order that I need a minute.

I'm trying to figure out what I want that isn't meat.

Well, you saw the beginning of this post.

I selected Shrimp, which I do like

but which is so often poorly deveined that I get--

for lack of a better term--

all grossed out.

The plate arrives with six HUGE deveined shrimp,

two hushpuppies and fries.  I cautiously cut open the shrimp,

which are beautifully breaded, and I am amazed.

It's almost like lobster.

They are cooked perfectly.

And they taste good!

The hushpuppies are the best I have ever had!

Before we left I had to find the person who took

the order and tell him how wonderful the food is.

He broke out in a big smile.

We'll be back.
