I have to believe that any Navy person who gets orders to Pcola would be happy about that. We had been to the downtown before on our way to Texas or somewhere but I didn't really remember it until I saw it again. It has these great city parks with events and fun things. Yesterday was a local teen dance troop entertaining a decent size crowd, with various snack trucks and groups selling t-shirts and giving out brochures.
Last night we went to the pizza joint outside our campground for carryout. We had a 50 minute wait for our pizzas because they were backed up, so I asked if we could bring in some beers (since they don't sell alcohol) and drink them while we wait. "Sure can!" So while we were sitting there enjoying our wait, the owner comes out and he's this older guy that looks like he's lived in Lillian AL his whole life (which we found out later was the case). Monello asks him, "What kind of flour do you use?" The guy was like.... .... ?
So Monello says, "Do you use 00 flour?" and the guy says, "I've been making pizza for over (however many) years and have never heard of that."
Anyway, the pizza sucked so we won't be getting it again while we're here. Not because of the lack of 00 flour but because the crust was dry and dense and tasteless.
I got spaghetti and meatballs that was pretty good, though.
Today I thought we'd head for Flora-Bama bar but I drank so many beers yesterday that I'm about dead, and I definitely want to have a beer at Flora-Bama. So that will have to be for another day....
