You Just Can Not Make This Up

Posted on by

There was a wonderful free spirit person we called Miss Samantha Perkins. Dressed in female clothing but never with makeup or female hair. Samantha loved to make people smile and have fun. One day at the SunCoast Resort, one of the owners was having a political person running for St. Pete Mayor, coming to speak. The political rally was right infront of our store there. Samantha came walking up to see what was going on. The owner got mad and said she was not welcome and need to go into our store and stay out of sight until after the rally. Devastated she came into our store and sat with us until after the rally. What a sad day for Samantha and our community.  Today she is retired and living quietly in Tampa.

Flash Back to 1998

Look at all that green outdoor carpet!!!  It’s seems like yesterday but 21 years have gone by since the SunCoast Resort opened.  MC Film Fest owned by Mark & Carrie was there from day 1 to the very last day in 2007. There are so many stories & crazy memories. Some day we will write a book about it all. 2007 was also a very lucky year for M&C. It was the year we op0ened our store in Ybor City.  Wonder where these people in this photo are today, 21 years later? If you are in this photo or know any of these people please post at….

Mark & Carrie’s Tatar Tot Casserole LOL

We just love Facebook. Who would ever thing that a little post about Tatar Tot Casserole would get 150+ likes and so many comments? We were surprised how many people never had this Midwest comfort food. Here is the recipe. Enjoy!!!

Here is the basic recipe. Brown 1-pound hamburger. Drain and add salt, pepper, garlic powder. 1 can cream of mushroom soup (do not add water) 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce. Mix and press into a baking dish. Top with Tatar Tots & dust top with paprika. Bake 375 for 30 – 45 minutes, until the tots are crispy. We add onions, mushrooms and a bag of frozen peas & carrots. You can add anything you like celery, cheese, veggies.   We always make a double batch so there are left overs the next day.
