Applebee’s Just Doesn’t Measure Up.

Backstory: My mom LOVED Bennigans. We would go to Bennigans for any and all occasions. Since she heard that they went bankrupt and would be closing nationally, she has been completely devastated. It is all she can talk about, even on my 21st birthday!
Happy Happy Birthday to you on this special day
Happy Happy Birthday that’s [...]

I live in Wisconsin.

Besides beer and brats, could you bring home some cheese curds this weekend????  About 5 pounds of the white (no flavors/add-ins, etc.)  I would prefer those 1 pound packages like I got at the market.  Use my credit card.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
This weekend - I can’t wait!  Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Why Bennigan’s Closed

Just heard on the radio that all Bennigan’s have closed…..we ate there in the spring and the menu was awful…everything was fried and I know this doesn’t sound nice, but all the waitresses were really overweight….I told Dad I wondered how they stayed in business this long…..and then I heard this news this morning….
Oh by [...]

Keylime Miley

Hey Babe,
I’m gonna make your keylime pie today, but I gotta tell ya, I had to buy the keylime in a small plastic thing like they sell lemon juice, is that right?  I hope there’s a cup in there!  I guess I should have tried Whole Foods instead of Food Lion.
Miley Cyrus is on the [...]

G-Strings And Bridge Foursomes

Backstory: my 72 year old Mother went with her friend to the local casino b/c they sent a coupon for a free steak…at the Chippendale’s 5 p.m. show.
We had a good time Saturday, the show was hilarious, g-string only, thank God!  Never heard so many screaming women, sex starved, I guess, Ha!  Got a [...]

That Would Be Dangerous

Hi!
I still haven’t found the book but I was wondering if there were any foodie blogs you could tap into, someone who might be willing to chat online about the book or if there were any other websites you could read reviews, etc.  I am NOT suggesting you meet anyone in person as that would [...]

It’s Fishy

Mom: FYI, Women of childbearing age should only eat Lake Erie fish once a
week or month (I forget which). Pregnant women - more stringent. Maybe not at all, I forget that too. We had Lake perch last week and then I saw the warning in the paper
Me: Does that include women [...]

Consume, Digest, Then Poo

Offspring - I am cancelling the reservation to Arun’s restaurant.  People are losing everything to the flooding in Iowa; people are losing their homes from bank foresclosures (USA Today highlighted a family who took out a home equity loan for $100,000 - their house is now worth $60,000); the price of oil is making travel [...]
