Hi Ben,


RH> I'm back................after about 2 weeks of no Fido. Don't know why but
RH> it was most frustrating.

 BC> Ugh..  Since i don't run my own BBS, if that happened to me, i'd just
 BC> hop over to a different BBS and use it instead.

I probably should look into a back up. For years Dale Shipp was my back
up, had to use his system for several months after Hurricane Katrina
took out Marc Lewis's New Orleans set up.

RH> A Whataburger just opened up this past Thursday in town, lines were
out RH> the door. We stopped in on Saturday night, had to wait about 15
minutes RH> before we got inside, then placed our to go order and had to
wait another RH> 20 mnutes or so before it was ready. Took it home--I
ordered a junior with RH> no mustard and onion rings. Burger came out--a
regular size patty on a RH> generic hamburger bun with tomato, chopped
onions and 3/4 wilted (still RH> had a small section of crunch) lettuce.
Steve got the patty melt (2 RH> burgers with cheese, not sure what else
on bread) and onion rings. This RH> will not be a regular stop for us;
we were much less than impressed with RH> the meal.

 BC> Bummer on that fats food experience.  Last year my cousin took me to
 BC> In-N-Out Burger for my first time.  I liked that the place was clean
 BC> and had wide windows so i could watch them working in the kitchen
 BC> while we
 BC> were in the drive-through.  To me it seemed high priced.  The food was
 BC> fine, but nothing to write home about.  They always have big lines, so
 BC> they must be doing something right.

When our older daughter and her family were living in Las Vegas, she and
I did the drive thru on In-N-Out a couple of times. As I recall, they
were quite good but I couldn't eat that big a burger now. I don't
remember if they offer a chicken alternative; I usually go for that so
will try the Whataburger's version at some point. We also tried Five
Guys some years ago up in Kingston, NY. The burger was ok, fries were
greasy to the extreme. Best part of that meal was the malt vinegar they
offered for the fries; we've yet to go back to that chain.

 BC> Tomorrow i plan to go to a Thai place with my cousin.  I haven't
 BC> totally decided yet what i want to get.

Sounds good. Steve has his VFW meeting tonight; he had volunteered to
cook for this month. Yesterday we went over to Sam's Club and got 3 big
chicken pot pies, several bags of Caesar salad, a big tray of cookies
and a flat of LaCroix sparkling water for the meal. We went to Wegman's
after that and restocked on some of our baasics--yogurt, lunch meat
(from the deli), soups, bagels, and more. Also got a small sushi tray
for my supper tonight and some deli roast beef & kimmelwick rolls for
our supper last night. Had them with the last of the cole slaw I made
several days ago. Not gourmet eating but fills the belly.


 BC>                   Polenta Pasticciata (Polenta Lasagne)

 BC> Recipe By     : Cook's magazine, Nov 1989
 BC> Serving Size  : 6    Preparation Time :0:00
 BC> Categories    : Italian                          Grains

It looks good but that's as far as it'll get for us. Steve's corn
allergy rules out things like polenta. My lasagne recipe is from my MIL,
using the sauce recipe I posted yesterday, whole wheat noodles and
ricotta cheese. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY different from the poor excuse for
"lasagne" my mom made. (G)
