Some meals take on a life of their own. Today we six went to The Quarterdeck for lunch. But first we walked on Summerville Beach; at least two of us walked from one end to the other. The day was again beautiful with blue skies and cool breeze making life pleasant. By the time Doreen and I arrived at the restaurant, the wine had already been poured for the other four. We talked and drank and ordered more wine, then we ordered our food. Three of us at one end of the table ordered several appetizers, rather than one main dish, while the three others at the other end ordered in the traditional way.
The chef at this restaurant is not quick, but you don't mind because everything is freshly cooked for you. Our end, the appetizer end, had food arrive and we all agreed to begin eating. Bill received his third appetizer while the other three were still sitting waiting. It was very funny. Finally we asked the waitress for their food and she told us that the chef would cook the food after all the appetizers had been eaten. Of course, we should have made it clear, but we didn't, so all we did was laugh. Finally, the other end of the table got their food, so we sat and watched them eat, as our food was all finished. Our reservation was for 1:00 and we left at 3:45. It was good fun and good food even though we did eat at different times.
