Nice survey I got lucky again and voted #1 <g>. But until I win
that lottery, I shan't be going out to restaurants too often (sigh).
This time, I'll go with the #7 Sports Hat - it'll come in handy with all
the bike riding

Sky,

I hope you do!

I wrote a lot of lotto checker programs in my day. To try to convince my
mate in Australia to stop playing the lottery I wrote a Perl program to
generate 100,000 pseudo random lotto quick pick games and then match them
against a winning number series I chose. I had it set to infinitely loop
until it triggered a grand prize match. It took about 10 seconds to run
each iteration. After 48 hours I had to kill the program.

You do the math! If you can't do that, don't play the lottery! <G>

170,000,000:1

He keeps sending me money to manage his lotto habit, for 10%. In 5 years
he's lost $800. I've made $3.00, MAYBE!

I still go in for $1.00 when it's over $100 million. I can't be bothered
with a measly $50 million jackpot. What kind of island would THAT buy? <G>

I get 1 lotto and 1 Mega Millions ticket each time I get gas. I figure
what's $2 on top of the $60 in gas? Not likely I'm going to win, but not
really going to miss the $50/yr. As for the jackpot, I don't pay much
attention to it, I'll take anything I can and anything that puts a mil
in the bank is sufficient for me to retire. I don't need a multi million
dollar house.

Loverly LOs tonight.... Wednesday I made a batch of fried sausage (16)

Had one portion for dinner on Wednesday, have three portions
remaining... I can easy eat this every other night for a week. Got a

I went to college in Rochester and NOBODY drank Genesee cream ale. It was
the "Made on the banks of the Genesee river" slogan that we couldn't
swallow!

The good ol' neon green Genesee!

I do remember 10¢ Black label beers at the Varsity Inn.

MCINL DH's church is having their monthly potluck tonight, so we're
taking my mom's veggie bean soup in the crockpot.

OTOH, there will be takeout there. Having worked with the kitchen
crew (who set up the tables, organize the food, slice the cakes and
such) it's amazing to me how many people will bring a bucket of KFC or
buy a fancy cake from Whole Paycheck.

Not me on both questions. We moved 2 months ago to a place that has
25+ restaurants within easy walking distance. Never been to one of
them or ordered out. We're on our way out to our new weekend cottage
and I've finally got everything together to try Steves signature Lamb
Gyro recipe. I'm jonesin for a Gyro big time. After seeing pictures
of his food I'll trust that it's going to be good. There's no
restaurants where were going so if it's bad we'll be having cream
cheese on crackers with sardines.

Very doable!!!

Yep! Done it for dinner many times. Beats the hell out of a frozen
pizza. We ended up having Sloppy Joes Friday and I did the Gyros on
Saturday. Both were good. Sunday was Pork Tenderloin w/spuds and an
assortment of grilled veggies.

>Have a nice retreat.

Thanks. We did. We ended up staying 2 extra days so we got back
yesterday. We're leaving tomorrow or Saturday morning until Tuesday.
Then summer will be over and we'll be stuck in the concrete jungle
more often. (or not. LOL)

Thanks Steve. I did run it through the FP. The texture was perfect
although it looked horrible after the FP got through with it. I did
2.75 pounds. Wow is that a LOT of spices! Louise thought there was a
bit to much fenugreek so I may scale that back a bit next time. But
you're right, it comes very close to Kronos. I packed the goo in two
loaf pans to about 2 inches. After about 30 minutes I dumped the
grease and flipped the meat to brown the other side and baked for
another 15 minutes. The I cooled them briefly enough to run them
through the meat slicer. I thinly sliced a huge pile of onions and
heated them on a low flame with the meat slices on top. I wrapped the
pita in foil and warmed them in the oven while I was chopping the
tomatoes. The cucumber sauce tasted awesome but it was a bit runny.
I processed the cukes rather than chopping them and I think that was
my problem. Next time I'll just chop.

Overall I'd give you're recipe a 9.5 on a 10 scale. I'll do it again.
The only problem is I stunk big time the next day. I had to pull my
clothes out of the hamper because they stunk too!! Good Stuff!

Thanks,

Lou

Good time to ask... I've been hard at work this afternoon cleaning
(and I've still got more to do) so I'm not going to cook anything
special. I gave DH a choice - frozen chicken tortellini with tomato
sauce, frozen cheese ravioli with bolegnase (also frozen), frozen
lasagna, or pizza... he said pizza but then we reconsidered because he
had lunch out today (I didn't... I didn't even HAVE lunch!) and we
really can't afford to do it again. So we're having the next best
thing - frozen cheese ravioli and tomato sauce with ham. Those frozen
pastas are great - they're quick and easy to fix, and if you throw a
can of seasoned tomato on them you've got dinner for less than five
bucks and quicker than waiting for the delivery guy to show up!

We went to a restaurant tonight.... for pizza (and one order of
lasanga "dinner", which means one soup/salad and cloth napkins all
around). It's a pizza joint that my husband went to when he was 10,
maybe less.... and it had been in business for a while by that time.
Needless to say: We've been going there (together) a long time.

The original owner sold to a regular customer 25ish years ago and the
place has barely changed (motto: don't mess with success). The new
owner has watched my kids grow up and now knows my six year old
grandson as well.

I have to say that it has become a very kid friendly place over the
years in a non mechanical way. They've always had a side counter next
to the pizza oven. Back in the "olden days", the side counter was
where the take out orders were done, but now it's the "kids counter".
Kids that have trouble staying put in a chair have a place to go and
watch the action. While they are there they are given a piece of
pizza dough to play with and some cheese to munch on. The staff is
careful not to over feed them. It's get just enough to take the
rumble out of their tummy.

Need I repeat that I absolutely love that restaurant and think it's a
worthy place to celebrate a family event in? So, I couldn't think of
a better establishment to celebrate getting the keys to a new house
for my son (and his SO) than that pizza joint. Life is good, at least
for now.

That's a great story. However, when I first read it, it was in
Ophelia's reply and I had it in my head she is the one who went
out for pizza. Struck me as strange, her having this pizza place
in Scotland. They probably do, what do I know. Heh.

I hardly ever go out on Friday nights, or even order in. My
crowd-avoidance thing. Forget if you call out for chinese or
pizza, you'd better go pick it up yourself if you're hungry, otherwise
it's a long wait.

However, I did go out for lunch. Sat at the bar, naturally, and
had eggplant parmesan while overlooking the river ... excuse me,
estuary. Swans. Boats. Mansions. Nice view. Then went walking
on the beach and then took a drive through an historic fort. Then
went to see some fossil beds in my town, been meaning to go there
for years. I did not see any fossils which is what I suspected.

All in all, a nice day.

I'm sure! It's just this sort of legacy place, your husband has
been going there since he was 10 ... silly me, I thought you
might say that about a chip shop or something ... not a pizza
joint. Just being a goof.

Well no, I have to say we don't have a legacy place as special as yours))
