I siphoned off a BW packet this morning.
The good thing about BW for Maximus/2 is that it is a 32-bit version
that does not evidently have the Y2K bug like the older 16-bit DOS editions do.
My GC is very busy. I've not had to stand on a line - even if only two
or three deep - only three or four times in the past 15 ears.
Probably a choice made by the franchisee. A busy GC is a sign of good food ahead. :P
Not tried that one. If I'm getting chicken there I usually go with
fried and crunchy.
It's small pieces of chicken marinated in a slightly tangy, very
slightly sweet marinade. You'd probably like it.
It's good that you got some China Clippers. Bad that they need "adjusting".
I have a lot of bony protrusions on my gums. Instead of needing toi
get the painful and expensive ($6000) surgery to remove them Affordable Dentures was able to work around them. It's a minor adjustment and
they have an on-site lab for major adjustments.
The only problem I've had is with
bits of bacon or nuts getting under the lower plate But, that's self-inflicted and if I've used the Poligrip or Fix-O-Dent there is
less likelihood of that happening.
I have issues occasionally with that. I do use Polygrip. It's the
power denture that is giving me all the hassle as it likes to move even when adhisived in. My upper denture has such a strong, tight fit that
I don't really have to use adhesive but I do use it anyway.
One of my favourite breakfast places offer an "early bird" special of eggs, taters, meat, toast (or panquakes) and drink. For my drink I get
a big (12 oz) glass of tomato juice. And they offer Tater Tots as one
of the potato selections.

That looks delicious. The rest of their menu looks delicious too.
That looks like the kind of place I'd go to a lot. We have a place
here called Pennyman's Diner (no website). It's a low-rent,
family-owned diner that is well-worn but a great place to eat. There's several places like that scattered around the Tri-Cities and if I had a car, I'd visit them occasionally.
If I was in Pigeon Forge I think I druther go to Dolly Parton's joint.
I would too but I know there, it's a place locals gather because they
tire of the tourists. I can understand that completely. That place, during the peak season, can be a real headache to deal with.
I really like the Frisco burger. The breakfast Frisco - not so much. My favourite breakfast item is the bacon, egg & cheese biscuit. At two for U$5 on the app ......
Two for $5 is a great deal. Again, if I had a car...

Charlie Parker's was featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. Only non-Chicago place in Illinois to be so featured. And they
won a national competition for best bagel dish with their Breakfast
'Shoe. In one of the classiest moves I've ever seen, the owner, Mike Murphy, split the whole 25K first prize payoff among his staff.
Everything look hunky as well as dory. Bv)= Nothing munged AFAICS.
IIRC, my GC is a busy one and they do enough lunch business to justify
the additional expense of the lunch steaks. Pork steak is just as
good to me as is ham and roast beef.
Once I can get my choppers adjusted again, I will attempt to eat
salad.
I went to Freiberg's German Restaurant downtown with my parents
yesterday for lunch. The eatery offers a weekday lunch special of
pork schnitzel for $5.99. It is a really good-sized pork schnitzel.
Mom and Dad had
rotkohl (red cabbage) and bratkartoffein (pan-fried potatoes) as their sides and I had broccoli and bratkartoffein as my sides. With a soda served in a large stein, I got out of there for under $10. If I'd had water, it'd been closer to $7.
What we had: SD> https://eatbrats.com/portfolio-view/schnitzel-2/
Freiberg's website is https://eatbrats.com. Andreas, the owner, was
born in East Germany and immigrated to the US about 20 years ago. My parents and I were there on Freiberg's opening night. There was lederhosen and bier everywhere that night!
I'll usually stop at Shoney's with other SKYWARN members to get the
lunch or dinner buffet. The next nearest Shoney's is in Pigeon Forge,
the giant tourist trap, at a two hour drive from here.
Learned about Hardee's biscuits & gravy yesterday when I took advantage
of a freebie offer. Hardee's has the bestest biscuits in the fats food business. But their gravy??? Oy! Jasper and Eva liked it well enough
but they're pooches and not very discriminating.
I don't think I've tried their biscuits and gravy. I do love their
Frisco sandwiches, both breakfast and lunch versions.

We lost our GC to the government shut downs a few years ago. It shut
down and reopened about a year later as a fiction kitchen for several "restaurants" that wanted to do take out only.
Hopefully the adjustment will happen soon and allow you to eat whatever you want.
Sounds good to me. One of my criteria for judging a place like that is
how they do their red cabbage. Some places make it too sweet, others
don't cook it long enough for the cabbage to fully cook, etc so those
that do it right generally do the meat and other sides to my
satisfaction.
Sounds like it would be a winner in my book.
We were there the end of September last year. Got out of town and eastbound on I-40 Thursday afternoon; that was in the water Friday morning. We were there with the RV/radio club; met a new couple
originally from Poland. For supper one night, she made a cucumber salad like one I'd not had since we were in Germany so after the meal, I
asked and she was kind enough to share the recipe with me.

I'll just take a sausage biscuit and orange juice for breakfast there
and carry in a travel cuppa tea, thank you. (G)

Here's
Mike's Recipe - which doesn't mention that you can have your choice of bacon, ham or sausage patty for the meat. And either cheese sauce or
the sausage gravy - instead of the 50/50 split in nthe recipe. Same for 'taters - hash browns (per recipe), Tater Tots, Cottage Fries or even French Fries.
I promise if you wolf down the whole thing you may not want lunch.

I did a little research and it turns out that Samuel Bath Thomas, the
man behind the brand name, was a British immigrant that developed a version of the crumpet for American tastes. He trademarked it as the "English muffin" to distinguish it from the sweeter, cupcake-like
American muffins.

I do indeed enjoy a McD's Sausage McMuffin. I like them at home too
with some sort of breaskfast meat and scrambled eggs for a light breakfast.

That all sounds delicious I'n bot sure what cottage fries are though I suspect that they may be what I call "home fries".

It'll cost me about $60 with the adjustment fee and getting over there

The red cabbage is excellent. Lghtly sweet and tangy. I like it so I guess that says something.
Sounds like it would be a winner in my book.
If y'all are heading this way, let me know and I'll get my parents to
come too. Freiberg's has a $5.99 lunch deal Mon-Fri that can't be

I do like sausage biscuits. They seem to settle okay on my stomach
any time day or night.
Speaking of stomach, I am scheduled for a gastric emptying study on October 1 and an endoscopy on October 29 to check for gastroperesis
and eosinophilic esophagitis respectively. I suspect I have both, as
does

Not a big deal this week as we're working on pulling everything in

I wondered what had happened to you. Is the board you guys point off
of having problems? Or is it your interweb hook up? I was using Sursum Corda as one of my "regular" BBSes but it started being up and down
like a (oops, this is still a family echo, Dave). Anyway, I've
replaced them after a packet of uploads got lost in the shuffle.

I'm not sure what the cause is and which system to blame. We may have
to contact Marc Lewis and let him know of my problems but that will
wait for another day, when I'm a bit more awake.

As with anything else, just taking things one day at a time adds up
faster than you realise. Steve's parents celebrated their 25th
anniversary 6 months before we got married; my folks hit their 25 about
6 weeks before our wedding. My parents made it to 62 before Mom passed;
my in laws celebrated 72 before we lost Dad.
I don't suppose your chilren and their children) will make it for the feswtivities.
Older daughter, her husband and their 2 teen age daughters flew in
Friday night, leaving early Sunday morning to go back to Utah. So good
to see them, found out our SIL's parent's 50th will be in about 6
months so we'll see them then also.
We had a lot of food left over so made a good sized donation to the
local fire department, sent a lot home with one family so mom didn't
have to cook, more went with one of Steve's radio buddies and his wife
who were a big help in setting up and tearing down. We still brought
some home. (G)

Sean Dennis' "Outpost" is my 'main' board. When Ed Koon had Dos's up
and running (and available via interweb browser) I called a couple of regular boards and used Dov's to check that what I had posted made it
to the rest of the world. Then he went so far to the right politically that his BBS fell of the edge of the world. And Janis died, so her

Golden anniversaries are *always* a big deal. The really rare one is
the Diamond Jubilee. I can remember only one in this area. He was
near his personal century mark and she was abot five years younger.

Non-chain steak joints are getting thin on the ground in these parts.
And the chains, Alexander's, Longhorn, Ponderosa, Bonana, etc. are now using their (former) locations for something else - even if still in
the food business.
