In a few more days we will be winging our way back to Nantucket from our visit to Sarasota. During this trip, in addition to seeing our friends whom we have sorely missed, I have availed myself of a few culinary delights that are unobtainable in Nantucket at any price. The first among these is the PIZZA. In comparison to the soggy soupy no ingredients except molten cheese pizza we last ate up there, this is ambrosia. Note the pieces of vegetables, the chicken, the perfectly baked crust and the cheese which is in a semi-solid state. Last night I had a very nice course of spicy Pad Thai at the Bangkok restaurant. It was as good, but not better than Siam-to-Go in the ice rink in Nantucket but you get to sit down at a table and be served, well. Tonight we are going to go to the Bird Key Yacht Club for "club food, " but the real reason for going is to be with our friends. Another couple of days and I will have had Indian Food at Chutney's, Chicken Parmesan at Demetrios, and Rigatoni and Meatballs at Carragiulos. Oh, and I forgot, I had a spicy Chicken Sandwich at Wendy's. There are no fast food restaurants in Nantucket which is both a good and a bad thing. Anyway, I am reminded of the Jimmy Buffett song "Cheeseburger in Paradise." In that song, a man who regularly lived on an island dreamt of what he would have if he could leave and it was not Lobster and Chowder.

Cheese PIZZA in PARADISE
