While the weather overall of the first week has been good – Thursday was one of the ones that started and ended with the sun yet not so overwhelmingly humid or hot.

But it did mean we had a few activities that would be perfect; the ride out to Race Point on the bikes, beach & Ssun time and of course then obligatory “Ice Cream” walk after dinner and yes – for those of you who follow me on Swarm, will notice that we did indeed eat again at Local 186. Paul opted for the El Guano Burger (hint -it had as egg on on, go figure) and I went with the Tuna, severed reformulated as a burger seared and laid on top of a scallion pancake. But were good – but El Guapo still takes the win for that meal.

But first – it all started with a little homemade breakfast.. in the “hmm what kitchen tools do I have to fake it with” kitchen. Part of the vacation fun is figuring out how to repurpose leftovers at the same time also use what ever utensils happen to be around. on some occasions – its been a real “how-dunnit”. But this yesterday mornings as well as this morning seemed to work. the secrete to the eggs with our lots of butter or cooking spray on a pan that has seen better years and no spatula is low heat. add what little butter you have, add the eggs first to form your layer, then add the toppings. Then let it heat  through slow. Once you notice it start to brown on the bottom – it should form a thin crust; bump the pan against your palm to loosen it and do the “flip”. The end result is it should do a flip of the entire “omelet”  and let it cook for a few more minutes and its done!

Later that night we walked down to the Nut House for an ice cream sunday (for Paul) and got presented with a new flavor; Burnt Carmel. One little sample had me, and I knew my reserve about eating dairy via ice cream which I almost always avoid was going on the window. Thank good need for my lactose pills. Of course I did use some moderation and went with the “kids cone” size and only had enough to satisfy my taste..

It ain’ t always pretty.. but it hits the spot!
