The first was the scrumptious Greek Food Festival Friday night. I ate my week old Garden veggie soup at lunch to save points, and I was starving when we arrived. Not the best plan of action, I'll admit.
My best friend Michele and I had to stand in 2 long lines to get the veggie platter-but it was worth it. We had a small Greek salad, green beans, orzo and spanakopita, a spinach pastry (good) and a tiropita or cheese pastry (0ohh yeah!) and one piece of baklava for dessert. 4+2+4+9+4=23. whoa! I just now guesstimated that. I'm surprised!
The second was the Stone Crab Festival on Saturday afternoon. I just sampled just a bit of stone crab--it was certainly yummy, but a bit pricey. I have been spoiled by the Alaskan King Crab legs, and nothing else can compare! I'm saving my pennies and points for that this Christmas. On the way back we stopped at a local seafood restaurant and enjoyed some broiled shrimp and a hush puppy. Sorry, this is beginning to read like a food porn site. yikes!
The best part of the SCF was all the walking we did. We walked through the St. Marks Fort and around the boardwalk. We traipsed through the town, laughing and enjoying the cool weather. I am so pleased to finally have some good exercise news. We even walked Michele's dogs around her neighborhood later that evening. Sshhh! don't tell my furry kids-they are the jealous types.
