Default Tonight's dinner.

I have a peach crisp in the oven. I am also making chicken fried rice. Only
had a small amount of chicken so added extra eggs. May heat up a can of
black beans to go on the side if it doesn't look like enough. I think maybe
I should have cooked a little more rice. But I am also going to add a lot of
onions and carrots.

I won't be having any of that. I will have the leftover Mexicanish rice from
the other day. Thankfully my tummy has settled down.

You?

I made some kim chee fried rice. My guts feel like it's tightening up. I'll bet that sour kim chee fried rice would do a real number on your guts. I have to go to a meeting in a couple of hours. We are having it at Denny's. Just thinking about that is intensifying that grip on my guts. I should never eat anything before going to a Denny's. I'll have to get good and hungry first. This would be the only way that I'm not going to feel ill on meeting night. Ha ha, next time.

Sorry. Last time I went to Denny's, two of us had an order of bacon, one had
a smoothie and one had a banana split. Amazingly enough, they didn't mess
those things up. I once had some really thick cut bacon at a local place
that they somehow managed to burn and yet it was as limp as Mr. Humphries
wrist from "Are You Being Served?"

I know that Denny's used to have good coffee and soup. The green salads were
fine too. But anything else? Might be okay or might make you wish you hadn't
ordered it.

The dinner I had last night was not bad. I had a Southwest turkey melt sandwich and a small bowl of vegetable soup. It was 6 bucks. I ate one half and took the other half home for the little lady. That's some serious value. The server got short changed though. I gave her a 22% tip but I usually will tip at least 2 bucks.

OTOH, I've never had a good cup of coffee at Denny's. Places like that should have one guy doing QC on the coffee. It's that important. McDonald's can make a good, consistent cup of Joe and sell it for a buck. They understand the importance of a proper cup of coffee.

McDonald's coffee here is not good. I have tried it personally but people
who have tell me that it always tastes like it has been in the pot for a
very long time. Then again, people around here love Starbucks. I have been
told that the best coffee is at a Chevron station near here.

Good coffee will be anywhere you can find it. The fast food joint that was next door to my office had wonderful coffee a few years ago. I thought I had died and gone to coffee heaven. Of course, it didn't last, but that period was the best time in my life - coffeewise.

I can brew a great cup of coffee in my cheap drip machine with a freshly opened bag of coffee. That lasts for 3 or 4 days. After that, it loses that fresh bag taste. I guess it must oxidize or something. That's the breaks.

Pan-fried pork chops (no breading), finished in the oven on a bed of
defrosted leftover Thanksgiving stuffing. Tossed salad.

Tonight's dinner will consist of two small pan fried pork chops that I
just defrosted in the nuker, some Green Giant frozen broccoli
florettes, and a couple of small white spuds nuked. A slab of freshly
baked Dunkin Heinz chocolate fudge box cake w/orange glaze.
All washed down with a liter of Crystal Palace! LOL-LOL
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .
