This is the photo I choose for the DSD Photo Challenge this week. The theme ~ Water. I have tons of photos with water. Pictures of ponds, streams, the ocean, and if you count water in the sky~Rainbows. This is a photo I took last year while in Maui.
Last evening, the couple that has a motor home two doors down from me invited me out for dinner. They haven't been to the Clearwater area before and have been sucked into the tourist traps of Clearwater Beach. I suggested we go to one of the resturants that is truly off the beaten path, Peggy O'Neil's. As we pulled into a parking spot on the main street of downtown Palm Harbor, we directly in front of 'The Thristy Marlin' another one of my favs. Marty asked if that resturant was any good. I described the some of my favs on the menu...Calamari, She-Crab soup, Fried Green Tomatoes, Sushi, and Fried Oysters. Turns out Marty loves Calamari. Her husband made a face and said "Blah!". Because the Thristy Marlin is within biking distance,fromthe RV Park, she & I made a date to bike down there this week and do a girls lunch.
Peggy O'Neils is directly across the steet,so we proceeded with our original plan. Marty and I orderd the and Chips, Jack the Shepards Pie. Marty had Merlot, Jack and I had one of the Irish beers. Ummmm~good! On the table was a flyer for St Patricks Day festivities ~ Saturday March 15th. There will be music and Highland Dancers from 12 noon to 11 pm. So I folded a pamphlet and put it in my bag. My new friends will be heading north to Pennsylvania by then. Before they go we planned a trip to the Florida Strawberry Festival .
YaY!!

Strawberry pizza. Isn't made with cream cheese?
I have been dying for some good fish and chips...I will have to get hubby to take us to that place in Clearwater.
I think we are going to hit the strawberry festival this weekend!!!
I love strawberry pizza! OH yeah, it IS time for strawberries in Fla. Time for some homemade jam. I'm glad you know all the good places to eat.
I used to go to the Strawberry Festival in Plant City every other year or so. Best Strawberry Shortcake Ever! I do miss that event. I used to know a Peggy O'Neil who was known as "The Pie Lady" She baked pies for restaurants all over that area. i wonder if it is the same Peggy, a restaurant would bre a natural extension for her business. The menu at The Thirsty Marlin has all my favorites! I'm coming too!

Well done on the weight loss! Oh gosh! I know where that restaurant is. I ate at Frenchie's (the one at beach side) when I was there. Good food. BAD service. We were presented with our cheque BEFORE we even got our food. ;) C.
