For the Love of Avocados

Friday night is date night.  So I waited for Bill to get home.  And waited.  And waited.

He arrived home from work at 9:15 pm.

Poor guy!

It was a cold, snowy, miserable, frustrating, and never ending work day for him.  He quickly showered and we headed out to find some dinner for our date.  We weren't optimistic, though.  It was just after 9:30 ... closing time for our favorite, Rubio's.

When we got there, the doors were locked.  They were closed.  We walked back to the car to leave and try to find an option B that was still open.

That's when it happened.

The manager, Luis, came hurrying out of the restaurant to invite us inside for dinner.

I tried to tell him it was OK, that they had already started their clean up and they didn't need to go to any extra effort for us, but he wouldn't hear of it.  He insisted.

So we did.

That was the best dinner!

They brought us out a plate full of chips, pico, and guacamole.  I mean it was loaded!  We hadn't ordered it, they just felt we'd like to have it while we waited for our food.  Luis said they'd just have to throw it out anyways, so we might as well enjoy it.

My tacos were so overloaded that I couldn't finish them, but, OH!  They were fabulous!  And an extra side for our chips?  A bowl full of guacamole.  Not a cup... a BOWL.

We love avocados.  I mean, really LOVE AVOCADOS!  We buy 8-10 of them every week and usually run out before the end of the week.

So here's another shout out to Rubio's Fresh Beach Mex!  They really are the best!
