After about 10 minutes, the waiter came by and took our order. He was extremely apologetic, as apparently the cooks had a little bit too much fun the night before (Gasparilla), and were moving a wee bit slow.
The four of us gabbed and read the newspaper – Cary and my brother discussed some of the sports headlines, and my brother’s girlfriend and I discussed some of the foods that were on the menu. She asked me all sorts of questions about what I am now doing, specifically if it was possible to take some of her favorite recipes and make them more nutritionally sound. I suggested to her that she send them to me, and that I would take a look at them.
Finally, after a very long wait (around 45 minutes), our food came out:
Greek Omelet with Spinach, Feta Cheese, and Onions
Skillet Breakfast with Chicken, Shredded Cheese, Onions, Peppers, and other stuff
French Toast with Powdered Sugar, Maple Syrup, and Sausage Patties
Eggs Benedict
My brother joked with me to take the picture at that moment, as he was absolutely starving and was going to eat the Eggs Benedict in two bites…
After lunch, we drove my brother and his girlfriend around Davis Island, and showed them the mansions on Harbor Island, which was literally right across the small channel. Cary was able to point out who owned some of the homes that we saw, namely Joel Glazer (the mansion at the end of Harbor Island), Chris Simms, and a number of Tampa Bay Lightning players.
