It's "found money", right?

click to supersizeWe upgraded phones with Cingular a while back, got rebates. The rebates come as a debit card, good anywhere. Since this is "found money" it gets spent on unnecessities. So we went out to Parker's Lighthouse last night.

They have a very nice view of the harbor, not to mention that the Christmas Lights were up, such as the ones making trees of lights on the buoys. Used my new camera, no flash, full zoom, balanced on a menu since the shutter stayed open a few seconds. Got a good shot, with a reflection of the bar in the center (you can make out the bottles and hanging glasses.) This is from the third floor, the one with the best view. Also the more casual, no reservations, just seat yourself.

Shannon, our waitress, hands us our menus. A quick glance saw no jambalaya -- which was the reason for coming in the first place. The jambalaya at the Lighthouse is quite spicy -- well beyond warm or anyone elses that I have tried (not that I have tried many.)

"Excuse me, but there is no jambalaya on the menu"
"That's only downstairs, we have a smaller kitchen."
"That's a stopper."
"Let me see if I can bring some up."

She could. So we had the lobster whatever appitizer and our jambalaya while the girls has otherwise and watched the boats going past all lit up for Christmas. A pleasant evening out, service well worth the 25% tip.
