Waiting In Line

Last evening Theresa and I decided to go out for supper at a new Fish market and restaurant. We thought that 5.30 pm would be early enough to be served without a lineup at the door. When we arrived there was a huge crowd but we checked in and found that a waiting time of 40 mins. would be required. No way so we went to the Olive Gardens and the same thing happened. On Pine Island there are thirty plus eating establishments and every one had a waiting list of about the same time.

I hate to line up and standing in line is not for me with my recent surgery so be did the next best thing and went to this place that makes the best pizzas which you can take home and cook yourself. We bought a large one and took it with us home where we started. I added some peppers and grated cheese and Theresa fired up the oven to 400 degrees. We settled in beside the pool and had some wine and watched the changing sky turn in to a brilliant sunset.

Twelve minutes later we took out our masterpiece and had our own restaurant right here at home. It was delicious and there was no crowd, no waiting and excellent food and company. People often ask us why we don't eat out  more often. Well there is the answer...we love to eat at home.
