...to your pocketbook or wallet, as in "I'll take one of each!"

.

We stopped in to "look around" and ended up picking up two strip steaks, and some other stuff. At around 6:30, as the PGA tour event was ending, I fired up the gas grill, my wife was getting the corn on the cob ready, and made a salad, and as I went to put on the steaks, the grill was out; as in out of gas

.

So, the steaks were cooked in the broiler, and they were oh so good and so was the corn. Now I will have to buy a Jenn-air stove with Grill or DCS similarly equipped for the house, in case I run out again.

Oh, I had a spare bottle, but it was empty too.

QL and I stopped by Fiddlehead's today and were very impressed. The inside of the building has been renovated and it is clean and well laid out. They were offering free cheese, shrimp, and hot marinated steak tip samples, all of which were delicious. The staff has been well trained and they are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. At the fish/seafood counter we had a hard time making a selection as everything looked so fresh and tasty. We finally decided on the fresh salmon, which I had this evening (unfortunately QL is allergic to fish and seafood). The salmon was outstanding. We are now planning to make regular stops there now for meat, fish, vegetables and fruit.

I popped in on Saturday. Only spent a few bucks. Gotta love the 3/$1 grapefruit. I likes mah dried fruit too, so I treated myself to some cantaloupe spears. The boy got a nice cookie.

They offer a neat Valentine's Day prefab supper you just pop into the oven back home. Good deal. Mrs. Crawford loves the Canoli (sp?). Not much for the pastrys, so she gets mine and I get the last glass of vino.
