Today marked a series of completely unimportant victories in my life. First, I now have a 12 game winning streak in Free Cell. My overall stats are still lame, since I get bored and close the game, thus resigning it. There is no real attempt to have a streak, but I definitely think it’s the longest that I’ve ever had. Secondly, we played two games of Settlers of Catan tonight and I won both. This does give cause to a little bit of excitement in my heart, because Ryan and Sanford never play anything short of fully competitive, so I know that it will never happen again, but also because Ryan likes to pull these come-from-behind sneak attacks and just as I think that I’m about to win, BOOM! Ryan slaughters me. But the third and real victory today was mastering Mzoli’s.
For those of you who have been following my blog this summer, you may remember early in our stay here, we went out to Mzoli’s and were served a large plate of meat with some gummy white bread. Well—today was round two. Sanford has wanted to go back to Mzoli’s, but honestly, I was a little less than excited. However, my urge to “participate” far outweighs most reservations that I have about a situation, and so heading to Mzoli’s today, I was prepared. I made broccoli salad and Seychelle made potato salad. We brought paper plates, paper towels, spoons and forks, and plenty of water. Yes, I won round two of Mzoli’s. I was far more comfortable both in the environment and with what I was eating. A lovely outing on a warm, sunny day.

P.S. I should also mention that Mzoli’s is actually a butcher shop, not a restaurant, and it ‘just happens’ to have chairs outside for customers to enjoy the meat that they’ve purchased. I don’t think Mzoli’s would pass the health inspectors even in Arkansas!
