Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

[railfan619]

Well this first time writing in this fourm But from what I have seen already it looks pretty good spot to talk about trains. Speaking of this topic are there any of these places like that in the wisconsin area that people like me can meet.

[cherokee woman]

Tom, here's a root beer for you along with some cookies.
Railfan619, [#welcome] to the Depot Diner and Coffee Shop.
We're open 24/7/365, so come on in anytime you like. Always
leave something out for overnight patrons. Not only is the Diner
a good place to talk about trains, it's also good for talking about
just about everything else under the sun. Hope to see you in
here often.

[railfan619]

Yeah sure I would love to leave stuff out for over night partrons but. How would I know what to leave out since this is my 1st time being here. But any way thanks for making me feel welcome in the depot diner. One other thing Do you service anything more.Then just coffee.

No rain yet?? The big green blob just fell apart whe it hit the Wisconsin state line????

We get that all the time - big ol' storms marching up to Lake Ontario, then the lake just kills them. Our last rain was over a week ago. The southern part of my county just got hit with a severe thunderstorm. Didn't even sprinkle here. Pretty spectacular thunderhead, though.

Some root beer does sound good, although a Boston Cooler (Vernor's float) sounds even better...

who's up for some fried chicken tomorrow?

and on another note the Diner's owner (Jim) is out of service due to an attack of the 50 foot computer viruses

[railfan619]

OH boy that aint good so whose the next person in line.

Well, evenin' all. Am glad our rain dance helped somebody. Didn't take effect here on the sandbar. Still hot at 9:30. Supposed to be a scorcher on Wed.
CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN! Hold on while I shut TV off. Ok now I can concentrate.
Railfan619 [#welcome] Only 1 rule here: DON'T and I repeat DON'T ruffle the fur or the feathers of the help in the Diner. They will let you know. ( Don't ask how I know this)
Jay, yea the unit. Had some friends in the 25th in CRB.
Cw- cooking cookies in this heat? [bow] Chocolate chip?? Did Mutt leave any for us?
By the way, have you ever heard of a concoction of 1/3 peanut butter, 1/3 butter, and 1/3 honey? MAMA (note spelling) used to make it. We used it on toast. Mama (note spelling) had never had it, so I made a bowlfull up this AM while she was at work. She liked it, but asked me if it had a name. I can't think of one but thought maybe some of the more culinary types here had heard of it and know if it had a name. We always had a bowlfull in the fridge when growing up.
Well, time to let the wonder mutt out. She's doing her best puppy dawg eyes impression, even though she's 14 in human years. Willy

Willy,
Yeah CW did cookies in this heat,if it hadn't been so overcast all day,
she might have been able to put them out in the sun to bake,instead
of the oven.[V]
She did home made oatmeal cookies,and yes there are plenty for all!!

And railfan619 [#welcome] to the Diner!!

Mikey,chicken sounds good,but with all of this hot,humid weather,
we've been relying more on 'cold cuts' than anything else.

Larry,don't know if it has an actual name or not,but Vernor's over
orange sherbet sounds like a winner to me![:P]

Let's all say in our best Homer Simpson voice "MMMMMM-homeade oatmeal cookies!!

I was in the 565th Transportation Co. It was a stevedore company and we off-loaded the ships. That was before Sea-Land and it was all break bulk. I was the Company Clerk, which was basicly do the morning report and kick back. Left in November 1965. Hard to believe how many more years that show ran.

[cherokee woman]

Good morning everyone!

Willy, here's some homemade chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies,
plain sugar cookies, M&M cookies. Okay, so I baked more cookies than
asked for.

Breakfast this morning: turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy, cereal, or
peaches & cream oatmeal.

Lunch & supper menu: meatloaf, mashed taters, and sucatash (lima beans
and corn). Dessert will be some of the cookies I baked last night, along with
ice cream.

Rain?? You want rain?? We got bucket loads of it here,, the next door neighbour (his name's Noel or something) is building an awfly big boat,, and appears to be opening a zoo or something...

[Mookie]

We need to engage CW in lots of conversation today - so she moves off that 1999 number!

But you know - it is hard to talk with a cookie in your mouf....maybe two! mmpfff.....

chocolate chip...mmmpppffff....mmmmmm.....

So in case I miss it - [bday] - nooooo that's not right.........Merry Chri.......no that's not right either.........Happy Eas......wrong.....

I know!!!![^] Happy you are over the hill with 2000 posts as soon as you make one more post.....

So talk to us CW! [:D]

[Hugh Jampton]

oh,, and an extra large java please, super strength, black & no sugar (I'm sweet enough), and can ya make that to go, I slept in a bit and am late for work..

[Mookie]

Hugh - want a scone, too? I will join you! Yum!

[JoeKoh]

CW
C is for cookie thats good enough for me and matt!!!! yes we got milk and congrats on getting 200 posts.
stay safe
Joe

[Hugh Jampton]

A scone?? Sure,, cheers love.. Have you any clotted cream to go with it?

[Mookie]

Ack....I was thinking coffee was enough....

Maybe we won't do scones together - maybe just chocolate chip cookies - you don't do anything more than dunk them do you? Gag... Guess 50% English isn't quite enough...

[Tharmeni]

I've got rain coming at me sideways in Sarasota this morning...and the rain is actually HOT! I can't go to the beach because a shark will get me. How about an omelet? Put anything you want in it. I live dangerously - after all, I don;'t have the common sense to leave Florida in the summer.

[CopCarSS]

Congrats in advance for the 5th star CW! It's only appropriate that there should be 5 stars for such a fine dining establishment![bow]

[Tharmeni]

Anyone in the diner have a clue why the Hoosier State left Indy so late this morning? It originates in Indy!

[jeaton]

Any extra cars on the train? Amtrak uses that train to bring cars out of Beech Grove to Chicago for forwarding to other points on the system. Delay could be related to that. Just a guess.

At least there is no way they were holding the train for the Governor for a ride up to Chicago. lol

C'mon CW, you know you want to do it. Mutt, tie her in the chair in front of keyboard. You know it's useless to resist. Let's all start chanting together CW!CW!CW! Go to the light in front of you, go to the light!
Am going into cookie coma if you don't stop cooking! [(-D] Willy

[chad thomas]

Hello all. I just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone. I have not had much time to stop by lately. I have a new girlfriend and you know how that goes. Congrats to CW on your new star. Oh and today is my birthday so I'll take some cake please. Not that I realy celebrate it but a peice of cake sounds good. Anyway I'm not going to stay long, I just wanted to say hi to all my fellow forum members. Hope everyone has a great day!!!

[Mookie]

mmm - Happy Birthday Chad - make it chocolate cake and I will help you hold your fork!

One for you, two for me....

Mook!

[CSXrules4eva]

CW thankx for baking those o so wonderful cookies!! I'll be sure to eat them up!!! yum yum [bow][dinner]. I think I'm going to also eat up some meatloaf and some and some mashed taters. That sounds and tastes good too!!

Railfan 619 welcome to the Diner, I'm sure our master cook CW gave you a formal welcome yesterday. [:D]

Chad Thomas happy b-day!!!! I hope u get everything you've been asking for for ur b-day. [:D][bday]

It's going to be a hot and muggy one here today. So, I guess I have to be prepared for that one. It's suposed to rain here, we'll see what happens. Ya know I'm also running late to my English Comp class, since I'm here in the Diner, but hay it's well worth it!!!!

Catch u all later on today..............[angel]

[CShaveRR]

Hi! Can you believe that Sarah and I are both here at the same time?

Happy birthday, Chad--and congratulations on the girlfriend. They certainly are fun and revitalizing, but they do take a lot of time (and somehow, one never regrets it!).

We had a family gathering for dinner yesterday (some of my wife's relatives from California; first time we've seen them in about 17 years). High point of my night was my six-month-old granddaughter reaching over and wanting to hold onto me. I guess she's claiming ownership there.

Cher, if you respond to this request for some nice, cool limeade, it should be your 2000th post. Congratulations (I might make it to 2000 by year-end)!

[cherokee woman]

OKAY, EVERYONE!! HERE GOES: MY 2,000TH POST:

IT'S RAINING HERE IN LOUISVILLE!! It's actually pouring
buckets right now. Been raining for about five minutes. Mutt got
the rain guage and put it out in the front yard. Will let you know later
how much we get.

And Carl, here's some limeade just for you!!

AND CHAD: [bday]. May all your dreams come true today. Maybe new
girlfriend will fix you a special birthday dinner!!

[railfan619]
