A Fish Fry to Remember

Since Auzzie is new to Tosa, B and I decided to introduce her to a Wisconsin tradition - Friday Fish Fry. You can't go to any restaurant in the Milwaukee area without encountering a fish fry. It's freaky. Doesn't matter what type of restaurant it is, they have a fish fry. Our local favorite is McBob's.

We picked up Auzzie and her boyfriend and made our way to McBob's. Didn't have a problem getting a table thanks to our friendly bartender who now knows us since we often show up on Fridays. The bartender soon became a fan of Auzzie after she didn't hesitate to bantered with him. Auzzie isn't much of a beer drinker so choosing a beverage turned into an event. After trying Blue Moon with some trepidation, that became her beer of choice. Especially since it came with a orange wedge. In ordering a full glass, Auzzie was somewhat disappointed that it didn't come with a bigger piece of orange. Bartender soon remedied that by showing up with a whole orange - completely peeled!

The next main attraction was Nina, the stripper. How did we find out she was a stripper? She told us. I think someone was poking fun at one of B's jukebox selections. B pointed out that she (Nina) was dancing to it so it couldn't be that bad. Nina's reply was, "Honey, I'm a stripper. I can dance to anything!" Nina soon became involved in the jukebox selections and took quite a shine to Auzzie. This did not really please her boyfriend. It greatly amused the rest of us.

It was a fun evening although it made B and I feel a bit old. There is not a huge age difference between the 2 couples but enough to feel a gap. I am definitely looking forward to sharing what we have learned about our little town with the newcomers.
