I’m going to explode if Mene Tauaa and Paul Tauiliili think I can keep up with them in eating. They took Deb and I to Sadie Thompson Restaurant in Fagatogo today! I had grilled swordfish, homemade mash potatoes and fresh-steamed veggies. Oh yeah…and vegetable soup! Oh yeah… and about three homemade dinner rolls.
Paul, Deb and I all had the same meal. Mene had beef curry. I secretly cut some of my fish and put it on Mene’s plate. [family style, you share…] Mene and Paul could not stop talking about Sadie’s dinner rolls. Our table had two basket orders [8 rolls per order…GONE] I thought I was going to roll out of the restaurant. Now you know…I am with two Samoan men. Do you think they were full? Not in the least bit. They ordered a third basket to go! True story, I wouldn’t lie…this is a blog people!
Guess what? The eating did not stop at Sadie’s. We stopped at Sumu to have homemade ice-cream. Sumu is a gas station/tire repair shop. Hmmmm doesn’t the ice-cream sound good? Ay caramba! I had almond, coffee crunch on a cone. Needless to say, I found room right on the left side of my stomach!
I cannot do this…I will explode.
This is so funny...and Uummm it sounds so good...so good in fact, I'm wishing I could've tasted it. Glad you're having such a good time and taking it all in--experiencing life in Samoa.
ReplyDeleteThe fish was unbelievable! I had my camera but I just didn't take a pic. I should have. I didn't mention how I had two more rolls last night after work! geesh~
ReplyDeletePaula,
ReplyDeleteYour godma here. This will be a great experience. Hang tough. Do you need a "care basket"? And you are far far away, young lady. My greens and sweet potato pie will be spoiled by the time they reach you :-). Haven't read all your blog but hope you are in the capital city. Mickey D's should be around there. It's temporary Baby, I commend you. Love you girl. Pat
