I ate everything

The hubbster and I are on vacation right now.  I just wanted to document everything I ate because it was DELICIOUS and I'm 99% sure I can recreate pretty much all of it at home.  Of course I won't get to eat it on a patio with the ocean crashing on the beach right below me, but whatever.  (wait, is that why it tasted so good?  oh I'm screwed...)

First meal worth remembering: it was so simple, yet so delectable.  We went to a Greek restaurant and I had a veggie wrap.  It was just a pita bread, toasted, and filled with red and green bell peppers, onions, and these giant meaty mushrooms that had all been... umm... probably sauteed in 32 gallons of olive oil...  and then there was tzatziki and feta.  It was served with lemony potatoes and a bit of Greek salad.  Yum!  Also my permanent dining partner ordered a corn and crab soup that was out of this world.  It was creamy, and if memory serves me correctly (it's not on their online menu) I think it said something about Chardonnay.  But I might be crazy.

And then tonight.  I ate EVERYTHING.  3 hours later and I'm still stuffed.  We started with fried calamari.  And I had a local brew.  Then I had this bowl of stuff...  started with a base of diced mango and red bell peppers.  Shrimps.  Add some coconut rice.  And because I like to live on the edge, I had them add a big ol' hunk of sesame and wasabi crusted tuna.  Rare, of course.  My man loves his steak rare.  And he even makes medium-ish pork chops.  But he FREAKS THE HELL OUT when I order rare tuna.  So I do it every chance I get.  Because it's fun.  Oh yeah, and after I finished my beer, I had two-for-ones of their version of rum punch.  Mmmmmmmm rum punch.  But wait, I forgot the best part!

Crab
Mac
and
Cheese

Shut the fuck up.  That was awesome.

I munched on 4 different kinds of marine life in one meal.  Die, fishies!  Get in mah belly! 

Did I mention crab mac and cheese?  Seriously.  I kinda wanted to order 3 or 4 more servings and bring them back to the hotel for breakfast.

And we wrapped it up by splitting a piece of Key lime pie. Which I also wanted extras to bring back for breakfast. 

I slid off my chair.  Holy shitballs.
