• 796 various was picnic

    From MICHAEL LOO@1:123/140 to RUTH HAFFLY on Sunday, May 27, 2018 12:22:52
    As some of us have said, CB has slid quite far over
    the years. Bob Evans might be on that route, since
    it's been taken over by the Red Lobster people.
    The last Bob Evans I saw was in Shamokin Dam, but
    That's the one we ate at some years ago with Steve's parents when we
    were in town for a memorial service over in McClure. Steve's
    siblings/spouses went to Hoss's but we walked over to BE from the motel.

    I'd have been happy at Hoss's, too, with its
    reasonably priced meat-heavy menu. I believe
    that it's rural mid-Atlantic only, and I haven't
    seen one in decades.

    we didn't eat there, because we were on our way to
    Skeeter's BBQ, up on the hill overlooking the river,
    where the food was pretty decent, but I'm told can
    be variable.
    Steve and I have had a basic lunch there a couple of times. Good, not
    great, but better than some places we've had bbq.

    When you've been on the road and have a
    hankering for brisket or pulled pork, such
    places are very welcome.

    thicker and heavier than a standard Chromebook.
    This thing is still working like a mini-percheron.
    Probably built like one too. I prefer a lighter weight net book size as
    I usually carry it (when travelling) in a shoulder bag. It's also easier
    to carry around at home. (G)

    It's only 2.3 lb, but the important thing is
    that it has an SSD instead of a hard disk, so
    fewer moving parts to go on the fritz.

    I don't get out too much to new places to eat. I'm too much of a
    creature of
    habit though Tupelo Honey Cafe would be somewhere I'd go on a date
    or taking
    my parents out to dinner. Just for me alone I'd not bother to spend
    that much
    money. But that salmon dish was pretty darn tasty and had just the
    right > amount of warmth for me and my health these days.
    One should get out once in a while for one's
    Sometimes just the fun of trying a new place and "rating" it is a big
    factor in the mental health hit.

    Yep, enlivens and rejuvenates mind and tastebuds.

    We go out sometimes "just because", on the road sometimes for a quick
    meal and other times for a special occaision. Yesterday we had to pick
    up some things at Home Depot for a project Steve was doing for Deborah, stopped at C-F-A for lunch. Late afternoon the suggestion was made that
    we go to a Mexican place for supper, so we did. It was good, large
    enough servings that we brought half of it back for lunch.

    After CFA (not my favorite - I don't like white
    meat, which almost begs for beer to wash it down)
    I'd probably not been up for another big meal the
    same day.

    394 (yes, it was that high). I was taken off of the statin drug I
    was on and
    When they took my father's blood, it would
    separate into a blood layer and a fat layer,
    so I can believe that.
    OTOH, my numbers have dropped so much since I got things under control
    that my doctor wonders how I was ever diagnosed diabetic. I'm on a very
    low dose statin which probably helps keep things in line.

    Well, excellent for you.

    was encouraged to keep working on my blood sugar. I've quit
    drinking soda > save for one at lunch. I am now drinking unsweetened naturally flavored > sparkling water. I've discovered that the Bubly brand (spelled
    correctly and
    so far only seen at Walmart) is quite tasty for me, especially the
    We only found strawberry and lemon flavors of that brand and were underwhelmed.

    That was to Sean.

    regular water also.
    All apparently healthy changes in your behavior,
    congratulations.
    Agreed, every little change for the better will make you better. Most of
    the time when we're eating out, I ask for water with lemon. At home it's regular (reverse osmosis filtered) water--we have a unit in our kitchen sink--or sometimes sparkling water.

    Hi Michael,

    The last Bob Evans I saw was in Shamokin Dam, but
    That's the one we ate at some years ago with Steve's parents when we were in town for a memorial service over in McClure. Steve's siblings/spouses went to Hoss's but we walked over to BE from the
    motel.

    I'd have been happy at Hoss's, too, with its
    reasonably priced meat-heavy menu. I believe
    that it's rural mid-Atlantic only, and I haven't
    seen one in decades.

    They're still around in central PA last that I knew. We stopped at one
    (with some friends) on our way home (McClure) from State College 5 years
    ago. The camp Steve worked at one summer mentions Hoss's for fund
    raising events in their newsletters so they seem to be going strong in
    that area.

    we didn't eat there, because we were on our way to
    Skeeter's BBQ, up on the hill overlooking the river,
    where the food was pretty decent, but I'm told can
    be variable.
    Steve and I have had a basic lunch there a couple of times. Good,

    Definately! They don't have the eastern NC bbq, as to be expected, but
    they're still worth stopping at. Beats a McD's burger any day of the
    week. (G)

    I'm not sure how mine is built (Steve could tell you the specs.) but
    it's a nice little one. I've had it about a year, got it on close out at
    Sam's.

    I'd probably not been up for another big meal the
    same day.

    We didn't have too much at C-F-A, just some strips and salad. The
    Mexican supper was a big meal, and tasted good. I asked if we could get
    some fried flour tortilla chips for Steve when the waiter came out with
    the usual corn chips and salsa--he was very willing to accomodate the
    request.

    Trying to keep myself going for a few more years. (G)

    I figured he would see it as well.

    Anything (within reason) to keep hydrated..........
