Eats: Flounders (Pensacola, Florida)

One of our favorite restaurants in Pensacola, Florida is Flounders. We've been going there for years. It was easier to get a seat before the boardwalk was built, but now it is busy all the time including off-peak season. It is worth the wait though.

Everything there is delicious and fresh, but some of our favorites are the Seafood Nachos, the clams, and the clam chowder. The Seafood Nachos is an appetizer, but the portion is so big, you could have it as an appetizer and an entree and still have leftovers.

We try to eat there whenever we're in Pensacola, but sometimes it is so crowded that we couldn't even get into the parking lot. The best time to go is during off-peak season, right as they're opening because the seating will fill up quick.

If you can't get in, they offer take-out option, and that's just as good. We've done that many times as well. It's just that good. I can't wait to go back.

Of all the -isms ...

Of all the -isms in our culture today, this one is often ignored and up there with the most nefarious. I’m talking about nepotism. This is because it is so stealthy. It is not obvious. You never know who is related to whom, either by blood or by marriage. Unfortunately, you don’t get to choose who your family are. The treachery within family is stuff of legends and timeless novels. At the same time, the benefits of some families just keep on giving, bootstraps not needed at all, just look for the red carpet treatment. When it comes to nepotism, there are tell-tale signs over time, emphasis on time. There are certain people who seem to get away with everything. Rules for you but not for them. Some of these people aren’t qualified for the job, and yet they have been promoted countless times to the top just like that. Then there are some people who haven't done much and yet they’re bestowed with awards and recognitions nonstop just for showing up. Meanwhile, the rest of us are...

What’s Cooking Vol. 4: Garlic Bread

This is a side. It’s really nothing, but it’s one of our favorite no meat dishes, so I thought I’d share this as an idea for a side during Lent. What you need: - bread - butter - garlic seasoning - shredded Parmesan cheese If you have a loaf of bread, it’s even better. It works with everyday sliced bread as shown in the image above. Melt the butter in the microwave until it is soft enough to mix but not liquid. It doesn’t take long, like several seconds. The amount of butter varies depending on the bread and how much parmesan you’d like. Mix the butter with garlic seasoning and the shredded parmesan cheese. Spread it on the bread and put it in the oven or toaster oven. Baking time will vary depending on how toasted you like your bread. Bake until the butter is melted into the bread or until the parmesan cheese is slightly toasted. There are many garlic seasonings out there, but this Weber one is my favorite, not salty, just herbs and garlic. The same goes for the s...
