Be Still My Heart

My heart would be stilled if I ate many of these babies. Part of the local cuisine is a roast beef sandwich; there are several "famous" roast beef and seafood establishments here. The recommended way to order the sandwich is a "three-way": roast beef, cheese sauce and mayonnaise. I had to try it once, and I ordered mine as a "plate" with onion rings and fries. I felt kinda ripped off by the small amount of fries (that's sarcasm).

The sandwich was pretty good but I couldn't help imagining what I was doing to my arteries while I ate it. I felt like I ate too many fries but I barely made a dent in the pile. It's been a couple of hours now and my mouth still feels greasy. And you can bet there are people who eat this a couple times a week. Online reviews mention ordering a side of fried mozzarella sticks to go with it!

We went to Billy's for dinner because our real estate agent gave us gift certificates to a couple of local restaurants to welcome us to town. Billy's was one of them.

We had another day of work on the house today. I spent the entire day organizing the office - sorting through various piles of paperwork from house sale and purchase, new insurance, the girls' school registrations, etc. I made good progress and the office is no longer a huge mess. Meanwhile, Carol spent the day painting the living room. It's mostly finished and the too-dark magenta-red that was there has now been covered with a light gold. It makes a significant difference.

Between those projects and dinner we went to the pool for an hour. That is so refreshing after a day of working in warm weather.

We haven't figured out what our fun escape will be tomorrow. I bet we'll end up heading for the beach again. The girls love it so.
