Welcome back Larry,now we've got the extra help
for our "grilling" again !![:-,]

Joe,chili doesn't sound too bad,there are several
of us that can eat it on warm days;it just seems like
it tastes better when it's cold outside,and you can get
warm inside; both house and body with a good bowl
of it.[:)]

Wendy's has good chili - it doesn't singe fur! Lots of crackers - yum!

Hi Tree - welcome back -

If I eat the CB and cabbage, I will get a funny look on my face....[%-)]

Mookie, if chili doesn't have enough chile(note spelling) in it, then it is not worth eating. Too much is a bad thing, but chili has to have zing.

Unfortunately, I'm off red meat for the foreseeable future, so the Chili and the corned beef are both taboo.

I should be "back" in about a week--so maybe the chili will have properly aged by then.

Had a nice, albeit brief, visit today with a sharp gal from Kalmbach--Kathi Kube! We had to look for something specific in the way of a photo subject (can't spill it yet), and could only find an approximation despite taking the circle tour of the yard. She has an Amtrak train to catch tonight.

Carl, I'll be sure to remember to save you a big bowl of chilli: it'll be in the freezer
with your name on it.

Good evening everyone, this is my 1st time in this coffee shop, I was invited by Jim, aka JHHtrainsplanes. He thought you folks might be interested in this article was from MSN.com recenty. You can tell from the prices that they are not up to the latest date, as they appear to be about 2 weeks or so old. Also, Canada was not listed, and our good friend Fergie from Nova Scotia said they were paying over $5.00 a gallon there.
Thanks for the coffee guys, I'll try to stop by again,

Welcome Grayfox. Another animal for the diner! Love your fur coat! (If Jim didn't explain the resident cat, then you will be terribly lost for awhile!) There is a Mutt, a Tree, a Brother, and a very small woman that cooks up a storm!

No news that's worth reporting....got the summer blahs.

Welcome to the Depot Diner and Coffee Shop, greyfox! Always glad to have
new patrons come in to see us.

I am the "very small woman who cooks up a storm": only 4ft. 5 in. in height,
and I do love to cook: mostly the good ole down-home, country cooking.

Breakfast this morning: sausage, biscuits & gravy, oatmeal, toast, turkey
bacon, scrambled eggs and cantalope slices.

Mutt - You know....I don't watch much TV. Hate sitcoms and don't think the comedy is funny at all! But - I was in stitches again! Maybe you have to be from UNL to appreciate the humor. I can't believe TL is that self-effacing or intimidated!

Having said that - did you notice - he tucked his hair up under his band hat and took out all the jewelry! I checked it out! And his track and swimming - well if you didn't see it, trust me - it ain't purty!

Mookie, you're right: TL doing track and swimming is definitely not
a purty site to see.


Chilli is ready. As promised, there's a big pot of mild chilli, and one
big pot of firehouse hot chilli. The latter will definitely open up the
ole sinuses!!

Brian, I'm not really sure what desserts are left,but look
in the cooler,and I imagine you'll find at least pie and ice cream.

Andrew, if you drink much more of that coffee you'll be awake all night !!
