A Simple but Tasty Seafood Lunch

By
Real Estate Agent

Have you ever had one of those days, where you wanted to enjoy a simple but tasty seafood meal – one without fanfare?  

When I first awakened this morning, I found our Sacramento area temperatures had dropped significantly.  And, it was overcast!  At 5:30 am, I couldn’t determine if this was a new weather pattern moving in, or instead it was smoke from our Northern California wildfires.  One thing for certain, when I asked my soul if it wanted to do our usual early morning swimming at the health club, the answer was a resounding, “No!” 

So, instead the morning was spent tidying up storage shelves in the garage. And, there were other tasks accomplished as well!  

As the noon hour approached, I had memories of a simple, but pleasant lunch enjoyed last week.  It came from our local Tugboat Fish and Chips, at 10861 Folsom Blvd., in Rancho Cordova. I decided last week’s lunch experience deserved a ditto.

For less than $10.00 you can order up Tugboat’s  8 Prawn Dinner with Chips (fries).  After bringing my order home, I paired it with sips from a Dos Equis Amber.  I found those sips while dipping the prawns in cocktail sauce and the fries to catsup, kept the beat of the Dire Straits song - "The Bug."   “Sometimes You’re the Windshield – Sometimes You’re the Bug.” 

Even my cat Reuben, seemed to enjoy his prawn bites with the music playing.  There’s nothing left to do now, but join him for a relaxing afternoon nap!  Happy Thursday, Everybody!

George Souto - It had been awhile since I had visited Tugboat Fish and Chips.  But, last week I had a seafood craving I couldn't deny.  It allowed me to reacquaint myself there.  I'm glad I did.  It's better than ever.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - That's Reuben's favorite spot, and it's his favorite position.

Hello Myrl - delving into the world of delightful dittos along with some feline bonding time and forty winks(more or less) may be the ultimate life many desire.  Sounds good to me.

Hi Myrl... I don't eat seafood, so no, I've never had one of those days craving it. The fries are another story, however! 😊 That is one satisfied looking kitty if you ask me.

Your cat knows how to relax and show us how it's done most effectively. It must be fun to be a pet owner who never wastes time or energy. Your positive engery is contagious! All the best to you and your beautiful cat.
