I’m a big fan of eating outdoors. Alfresco – “in the fresh air.” I was doing it again this morning. I went to the Fort Lauderdale beach, worked out on the free outdoor equipment at the Fit Trail on South Beach, took a nice walk and then enjoyed breakfast. It’s a day of clear skies here, with the blue taking on that autumn intensity we begin to see about now in South Florida. That was when it suddenly dawned on me, during my seaside breakfast. “Wow, I eat outdoors a lot. Like, really a lot.”
Even during the summer months, I seem to eat at least one meal alfresco several times a week. Maybe breakfast, maybe lunch, maybe dinner. Or maybe even just a nice coffee and dessert or something. But to me, one of the great things about living in this part of the world is the chance to enjoy being outdoors year round. The weather is rarely much of an issue, unless you wilt in the sunshine and warmth. I happen to love it.
I remember living in Vermont for 14 years. There, eating outside was a distinct treat, something one could plan to do … oh, perhaps during the summer and very early fall months. On the good days. Even in San Francisco, where I lived for more than a year and a half, the weather often was not ideal for sitting at an outdoor café. But there aren’t many days in Fort Lauderdale when I can’t find a great spot for comfortable fresh-air eating. For me, that’s as true in the August heat as in the January chill. Given a choice, I’ll pick a table outside almost any time. Luckily in South Florida, that’s nearly every day of the year
