Hi Sean,

 DD> Everything look hunky as well as dory.  Bv)=  Nothing munged AFAICS.

Something, somewhere along the line, I've lost a day or two of messages
about every other week. Other than that, things are going well.

 SD> IIRC, my GC is a busy one and they do enough lunch business to justify
 SD> the additional expense of the lunch steaks.  Pork steak is just as
 SD> good to me as is ham and roast beef.

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.


 SD> Once I can get my choppers adjusted again, I will attempt to eat
 SD> salad.

Hopefully the adjustment will happen soon and allow you to eat whatever
you want.


 SD> I went to Freiberg's German Restaurant downtown with my parents
 SD> yesterday for lunch.  The eatery offers a weekday lunch special of
 SD> pork schnitzel for $5.99.  It is a really good-sized pork schnitzel.
 SD> Mom and Dad had
 SD> rotkohl (red cabbage) and bratkartoffein (pan-fried potatoes) as their
 SD> sides and I had broccoli and bratkartoffein as my sides.  With a soda
 SD> served in a large stein, I got out of there for under $10.  If I'd had
 SD> water, it'd been closer to $7.

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.

 SD> What we had: SD> https://eatbrats.com/portfolio-view/schnitzel-2/

 SD> Freiberg's website is https://eatbrats.com.  Andreas, the owner, was
 SD> born in East Germany and immigrated to the US about 20 years ago.  My
 SD> parents and I were there on Freiberg's opening night.  There was
 SD> lederhosen and bier everywhere that night!

Sounds like it would be a winner in my book.

 SD> I'll usually stop at Shoney's with other SKYWARN members to get the
 SD> lunch or dinner buffet.  The next nearest Shoney's is in Pigeon Forge,
 SD> the giant tourist trap, at a two hour drive from here.

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.


 DD> Learned about Hardee's biscuits & gravy yesterday when I took advantage
 DD> of a freebie offer. Hardee's has the bestest biscuits in the fats food
 DD> business. But their gravy??? Oy! Jasper and Eva liked it well enough
 DD> but they're pooches and not very discriminating.

 SD> I don't think I've tried their biscuits and gravy.  I do love their
 SD> Frisco sandwiches, both breakfast and lunch versions.

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