Great new eatery near Tampa - Rapscallions!

We visited a great new restaurant in Land O Lakes yesterday, and if you're
ever in the area you owe it to yourself to pay a visit. It's owned by
parrotheads (Shael & Jamie are members of the Tampa PHC) and the food is
"to die for"! I don't think you can get better "island style" food anywhere...
not even in the islands! And the setting is great! The location is waterfront,
with great views from each of the 3 dining rooms (Beach, Caribbean &
Captain's). The bar is large and grand! And I've never felt more welcome in
any establishment on my first visit. Thanks Shael, Jamie, Keith and Glenda!

Be sure to order something that comes with the "passion fruit cream"... like
the coconut shrimp appetizer or the sea scallop dinner entree. Seafood, fruit
and cream... It was worth the 400 mile round trip! Who woulda thunk it?

Well, the passion fruit cream is "like budda...", but not like Land O Lakes
brand "budda". (How do you spell that anyway?)

You live within 30 minutes and you're asking me???!
Apparently there are lakes :roll: :lol: :lol: ... This one seems to be called Bell Lake.

If you want to plan a "special date" for a phlocking, August 6th is being
discussed for a Jack Mosley appearance there. They already have the wiring
in for performers on the soon-to-be-constructed deck stage. :D But you
owe it to yourself to go sooner if you can. Again, it's worth it!

Jack is a sweety. We just visited with him & Deb in Tennessee, and much to
the dismay of the Paris PHClub there, they will be moving back to FL soon. 8)
How about we plan this "meeting/meating" for August 6th, then? Maybe GB can
take us all for a big ol' boat ride the day after? *hint, hint* :wink:

I'm trying to get to FL in July, not sure if I can make it in Aug, although if I am planning the move I will need to do some scouting...I'll put it on my calendar and see what I can do..
