Food Glorious Food

Ah, it's key lime pie. If there's one dessert that can make you forget chocolate, it is key lime pie. Not just any limes -- key limes. Lime pie..................now that almost sounds yucky, but key lime....that's a different story altogether.

Blue crab fingers. Yep........that's what I said........fingers. Who even knew crabs had fingers for pete's sake. I could eat these guys three meals a day - seven days a week and still not get enough. On previous visits to Florida I thought that stone crab claws were the bomb, but they are so much more difficult to liberate from their shells and not quite so sweet as the fingers. Either or both should be followed by the key lime pie, of course.

It's hard to look cool when you have a plate of hoppers on the table in front of you......"What are hoppers?" you ask. Well, they are shrimp found only in these waters along the emerald coast, and, according to my personal food taster, "best in the world."

Life is good when you know where to dine.
