Y6bs evergreen in my mind
I brought in about a 64 oz thermo container for my coffee here at work.
Maybe I can talk Cannonball into backing the coffee urn rig up to the door so I can fill it.
I am going to put a note on it and tell everyone here that I cannot possibly talk to them until I finish my first cup of coffee.
CW - I am hungry - how about some french toast and bacon. Ah... to die for and probably will......

Good Wednesday morning! Mookie, french toast and bacon coming right up! Along with more coffee, hot chocolate, juice, and hot tea. Would you like anything else, this morning?
You all have a good morning, and if anyone has any suggestions for lunch (along with the leftover soups from yesterday), let me know, please.

Grampaw Tom - I brought my trusty map in with me this morning and found Florence.
Everyone on the forum knows I am geographically challenged, so trying to expand my eastern horizons. I found you and still can't believe you aren't sunny and warm. 'Course you do have a rather large pond east of you - which may or may not make a difference.
Well, maybe the weather is acclimating everyone for their eventual move to Nebraska/Colorado/Iowa - the true Midwest? Hmmm, y'all?
BNSF ran a lot of trains through our bedroom last nite. Haven't heard them like that for quite awhile. Must be atmospheric pressure - or my ears are paying better attention.....
good morning
lots of traffic yesterday in deshler.well last night at work a guy(after an exit interview) decided to make a moon roof on a semi trailer.matt did get to go to school today and they will be showing the polar express.so much to do.look out cat i'm going to need that hammock for a nap.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
French toast - always a favorite, although it wasn't until I joined USAF that I discovered putting syrup on it - I'd grown up putting on powdered sugar and cinnamon on it. Which I still do from time to time.
I spent some time aboard a (relatively) small Navy ship. After a certain amount of time the cooks were reduced to using powdered eggs and making their own bread. French toast made with thick cut home-made bread (cut thick in part so it doesn't fall apart) is good stuff...
Bacon's good, too. The one memory I have of my maternal grandmother is her cutting up my bacon, which struck me as odd, since everyone knows that bacon is finger food....
I'll be in the corner booth, reminiscing.

Tree: watched a line cook make french toast one time - she had 5 kids and a farm and was used to using short cuts. She would put the bread under her arm just above the elbow while she was dipping the first piece.
Still eat french toast but don't watch it being prepared.
Mooks:
Start working on that second layer of fur. The snowstorm that gets us oughta be at your place about Saturday afternoon and the weatherliar thinks will get more snow on x-mas day.

Um Larry/Tree, your Buds in DC look like they're busy this morning (along with the media)...

I see that. Looks like a quick knockdown, though. Sounds like the VP will have to get ceremonial someplace else for a while.

.....10-4 Cannonball....Those big chunks becoming loose down in the desert was a big surprise to many I'd suppose. I understood right away what was happening when I first witnessed it, as "home" to me was western Pennsylvania and that area is not a stranger to the Winter stuff in season.
Years ago, {my family had an Esso Station on rt. 30, Stoystown}, and some Winters the State would have to bring in the old Walter Snow Fighters, the "blowers", to open the highway particularly where it passed thru cuts in the landscape.
Just for reference....Stoystown {very small}, is located just 10 miles north of Somerset exit of the Pennsy Turnpike.

Mookie, when I was employed, it was as a building inspector. Once, while doing a final inspection on a building catering to food allegedly from a LARGE country in east Asia, We found that they washed the vegetables and then dried them by putting them on a sheet on the floor and running barefoot over them. I don't recall ever being tempted to dine there.... Send the rain....
Ahhhh, looks like we've had a full house this morning!! Makes me very happy! It's so good to see such good friends coming into the Diner!! Is everyone finding the cookies with their names on them? Very tall people will have to "look up" to find theirs. And everyone else, maybe look right at eye level, or below. (Making a game so you all have to hunt for your Christmas cookies!)
Our lunch/supper special today: Italian spaghetti, garlic bread/sticks/toast, and garden salads; tuna salad sandwiches w/your choice of fries or chips.
Desserts: homemade jam cakes, yellow cake w/caramel icing, chocolate cake, chocolate pie, pecan pie, mince meat bars, cherry cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, and Christmas cookies w/frosting and sprinkles.
I have taken a big turkey out of the freezer, to start thawing for our Diner Christmas party on Friday. (I will roast the turkey, and then slice it for turkey sandwiches w/mashed taters, gravy, and fresh fruits and veggies).

Good late morning everyone. (Grabs big mug of coffee)
I'll take the Italian spaghetti for lunch!

May each of you find a possum in your pear tree
CW thanks for the cookies and for supper tonight.we got lot of chores to do.thanks to mookie for letting me borrow the hammock.Ed you need help mowing and trimming the swamp??
Houston Ed!! How the heck are you?!?!?! You've been one of the ones missing around here (for quite awhile, isn't it?). Welcome back to the fold, man!! How are you and the family? Can't imagine having to mow grass, a week before Christmas!
Joe, got a couple of containers ready for you, for work tonight, in the fridge.
Bob, no, unfortunately, I don't have a locomotive Christmas cookie cutter. But I do have a locomotive shaped cake pan. Dang it, I keep giving away secrets. That's the shape of the cake for our Christmas Party Friday.
Good Thursday morning, to one and all. Not too cold here in Louisville this morning: 37 degrees outside, and no rain. Although, we have some coming towards us, for later on this afternoon/evening.
Coffee, juice, hot tea and hot chocolate are all ready. Regular breakfast menu items are on the warmer bar.
You all have a good morning, and I'll be in the kitchen, or taking out trash, or finishing decorating for Christmas in the train room side of the Diner.
I have an ache between the ears....can I spell migraine twice?
Mine stem from sinus headaches and with enough ibuprofen, it will go away. Sure hurts, tho.
So foggy out there we had to get here at a crawl. That's not something we have a lot of in these parts.
Hot tea and a slouch in a chair will do me this morning.
Hope you are all ok.
Later.
mookie
here is your tea and bagel.we have melting snow which is creating fog as well. matts school is delayed 2 hours today.one more night at work.got to get some chores done then its nap time.
A balmy 20 here, but no fog. Rain in the forecast over the weekend - YUK!
Taking tomorrow off and they gave us Monday off, so no work for 5 straight days (unless you count what I've got to do around the house). No complaints here.
The kids will be in MD (two different places). I'm looking forward to a nice, quiet holiday, which means it will probably be anything but.
Bearclaw and some tea. I'll be in my usual booth.

Enjoy it while you can Ed....Ma Nature has a seriously defective sense of humor with you folks down there on the Chemical Coast. (Santa bringing you a new snorkel & wetsuit for switching in monsoon season?)
....And we have 27 degrees...2 hrs ago, and bright sunshine again. What snow is left, it will work on it today as the temps rise.
Ms. Mookie; you are invited to ( snow bird ) it for a spell here at Phoenix Az. ~~ The temp at 7:00am was 58 deg. There will be a scorcher day todayof 75 deg. and plenty of sunshine. Amtrak & BNSF are very active here. Plus there is a very busy switch yard at Mc. Dowell rd. There are also stored engines of all colores , something about shared and leased horse power on demand. ~~ In the mean time , you and Driver keep warm and dry.
MERRY XMAS.to you and yours .
Respectfully, Cannonball & Shirl.
....The shared and leased power mentioned above, reminds me as we were in our "Family Restaurant" a bit after noon yesterday....On CSX headed west, a train led buy a BNSF and a silver / red Sante Fe power double and no CSX engines....Just the western power units.
