We continue to be lazy. Breakfast and lunch on our balcony. The breezes have gone back to normal.

For dinner tonight we went down the hill from our resort to The Greenhouse. We've been there most every year and it never disappoints. Not fancy by any means but good food.
All the staff wore masks and we were seated in the open air. Tables were well spaced. Happy Hour drinks were 2 for one!

We had Bang Bang Calamari as our appetizer. Flash fried with a sweet sour spicy sauce. Yummy. I had a Bang Bang Shrimp Wrap with fries and coleslaw and John had the Bang Bang Chicken Wrap with fries and Mac and cheese. Really satisfying.

Went to Carrefour this morning. Got there shortly after 8 when it opens. Quick and easy shopping. Got everything on our list. Now off to the pool.

We also enjoy the Greenhouse for dinner and at least once during our trips just for happy hour.

Sounds yummy! Does bang bang mean it’s hot spicy?

Yes but not too spicy if I can eat it. And I can.

The French Fries were actually not fat, just regular and underdone to my taste. The wrap is a favorite, the fries, not so much. John loved the Mac N Cheese.

Ok, I guess it depends on what your definition of "fat" is regarding french fries!! laugh I loathe those skinny little shoestring kind.

The fries at Be Cool are not as wide as in USA nor are they shoestring. In between and delicious. I don’t eat fries at home but I love these.

Carol. On a Saturday lunch or Dinner, start off at Be Kool and then stroll over to Tropicana for their Soufflé with desert wine and cappuccino. So best of both worlds. If you can manage it get their fries as well as a sort of end of meal gluttony punishment and feel well fed.

Love the Greenhouse for casual dining. Was so glad when they added bang bang chicken. I’m not a shrimp fan. Thanks for the reports we missed our February in St Maarten.
