Too stuffed; can't move.
We went to one of the numerous country clubs near our house for dinner tonight. (Seriously, there must be 20 golf courses in a 10 mile radius of our house. If only they were wild life reserves. Maybe if we taught the moose and bears to play golf.)
Tangle Creek Country Club held their all-you-can-eat Lobsterfest tonight, and OMG! Fresh, live lobster prepared right in front of you, crabs legs, muscles, scallops, shrimp, pork tenderloin, roast potatoes, rice and shrimp, chicken a l’orange, a crepe stand where they flambé the fruit right in front of you, a pasta bar where the make the sauce to your specifications (fresh garlic, seafood, tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, cheeses, all sorts of herby things, wine, vodka etc) and your choice of pasta, grilled steak and arctic char, every kind of salad and bread you can imagine, desserts up the ying-yang. (They had a caramel almond cheesecake that almost made me cry.)
I can’t believe how much Pen ate. I’m sure the Little Mermaid is crying herself to sleep as we speak, because Pen ATE ALL HER FRIENDS. She was legendary. I bet from now on when we walk near an aquarium, all the fish and lobsters and stuff will yell, “Run, it’s her!!!.
Normally Pen and I are quick. Sit down, eat, pay the bill, in and out in 30 minutes. Restaurants love us. Tonight? 2 ½ hours!!!
We had a hard time making it to the car afterwards, which was only exacerbated by the fact that it was a golf course and there were all these golf carts just sitting there. I almost tipped one of the golfers going by to give us a lift to the car.
All this, and drinks, for $120 a couple.
They even had a great guitarist/singer entertaining us while we gorged. It’s a wonder nobody ate him.
