There has to be a counterpart to the mama hen toting her baby chicks around, right? I mean, she had to have help making those cute little things… Alas, there are many roosters in Key West. I often see one or two hanging out in the empty lot next door, […]
I have reviewed 2¢ moments after they opened, when we just had snacks, and again when we had brunch there. FKGuy was recently lamenting how we have not had the pain perdu in way too long. We will remedy that soon, I am sure. But this time we went for […]
I still have a bunch of buy-one-get-one-free deals on my Woman’s Club Restaurant Card, so I have been trying to use them. Last week we decided to try Southernmost Beach Cafe. I had only been there for lunch, when the menu consists of mostly burger and nacho type stuff, so […]

We had tried 2¢ moments after they opened around New Years, when they were cash only and still getting a handle on things. I keep meaning to go back for dinner now that they accept credit cards (I don’t usually carry cash) but just haven’t gotten there yet. Instead we […]
Sometimes leftovers are great: pasta, slow cooked beef, hot fudge sundaes (not all together). But sometimes you have a bunch of leftovers in the fridge and it just seems so sad to stick it on a paper plate, toss it in the microwave and call it a meal. I suppose […]
