Depot Diner & Coffee Shop

[cherokee woman]

Sarah, of course you can have a Sprite with your grilled cheese sandwich!

Carl, would you like for me to chop your fish sandwich up for you? May have
to do the same for Mutt, so he can have something solid. Did get his choco-
late pudding made for him, and went to the store and bought him some
butterscotch pudding.

Supper tonight: For anyone who didn't come in for lunch today, there's more
fish sandwiches available (will make them as they're ordered), and we'll also
have pizza on the menu tonight.

[JoeKoh]

Cw
pizza sounds great tonight! and how about an article in the paper.the marines want an 82 grandma to enlist! that would really shape up the base real quick.

[espeefoamer]

Oh yeah! Pizza,fish sandwich,a Coke and some pumpkin pie a la mode sounds delicious tonight [dinner]!

[CShaveRR]

Thanks CW, but my teeth are fine--after they clean them, I just want to gnaw on something.

Jay, I meant to congratulate you on your star billing in my previous post. The idea of going to Rochelle on November 22 appeals to me (if the weather be good), but we'll have to wait and see what Chris can do or is willing to do. As always with a Tuesday, Pat will be at her craft group at church during the morning.

[cherokee woman]

Good Saturday morning, everyone!! Hmmm, wonder how many of you will
be in for Saturday brunch today. Coffee is on, and juice is made up.

Brunch will include: oatmeal & toast, turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits &
gravy, grits, country ham & redeye gravy(oops, there goes a half pot of
coffee!), scrambled eggs,( and chocolate or butterscotch pudding for
Mutt.)

Know I don't usually post supper menu this early on Saturdays, but today,
I'll change routine. Supper tonight: Some nice, hot homemade potato
soup, and Carl's Hearty Soup.

[CShaveRR]

Oh, I wish I could be here for the soups tonight! Cher, make plenty of the Hearty Soup--I'm wondering how you would modify it to "personalize" it. The one thing we've always found with the soup is that it's better the next day, or later in the week.

I left a couple of gallons of fresh Michigan apple cider in the fridge--none of that preserved and Pasteurized stuff one usually gets.

[railfan619]

GOOD morning everyone well it is finally saturaday but it is not a good one because it is cold and it's raining which is not a good combo but anywho that's really about it from this end hope to be talkin to you soon.

[cherokee woman]

Hey all, the soups are ready, any time anyone wants a bowl. And I've taken
the liberty of heating some of Carl's fresh apple cider. Won't that feel good
going down our throats in this cool weather!! And we have some oyster
crackers to go with the soups.

[CSXrules4eva]

CW I think I will be taking some of that delicious potato or should I say tater soup. I think I might end up eating two bowls. I'll also have some of those crackers too. As far as the apple citer goes.... gimme gimme....gimme I want some of that! I love apple citer. I think I might end up drinking much of that as well.

Carl, I don't think you've tasted apple citer until you've tasted Pennsylvania apple citer from Lancaster County or Bucks County. That has been the best apple citer I've ever tasted, and I've had lots of apple citer in my day. lol

[CShaveRR]

I'll take your word for it, Sarah--I wish you could pour me a tall glass of it right now!

[JoeKoh]

good morning juice and coffee are ready to go.our special brunch item today is pancakes.come and get them while they're hot.
stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

Man, o man, Joe: you must have read my mind this morning:
pancakes is what I was planning on fixing this morning!
Along with bacon and sausage to go with them!!

Thank you Joe!![8D][8D]

[railfan619]

Good afternoon everyone how are we all doin today fine and dandy I hope. I'm doin okay but the weather here is not so good it's cold and it's damp which are not are the best combo's around so I think that fall is finally hear and soon winter will be here then to but anywho that's about it for now I'll be talkin to you all later and have a good day.OH CW what's for din din today it's been a while since I have eaten in the diner [:D][:D]

[CSXrules4eva]

Well railfan619 I can feel your pain about the weather. It is very and I mean very cool here in PA. We had a nice lovely thunder and lightning storm here last night. We also had flooding and the streets were very slick because, of the wet leaves. Today it is very sunny but cold. Later on tonight we're suposed to get some rain, and it looks like'w we'll be getting rain almost throughout the entier week. I think it's the hurricane that's suposed to hit us. Well here is my comment on that one................... JUST BRING IT ON!!!!!! I'm ready.

[railfan619]

Well your right CSXrules4eva. what does a hurricane even feel like I think the only one that I have ever felt was back in july when we got the remences of one of those hurricanes that hit the south but anywho hope everyone has a good day and I'll be in later for dinner okay. I really would want waorm weather to return but of coruse not to hot like we had back in june and july and the other months. OH If I dont talk to soon. HAve a good night and a good up comin work week ,[:D][:D]

[JoeKoh]

stay safe
Joe

[cherokee woman]

The porkchop abracadbra is ready, and on the warmer bar. So help yourselves,
and the puddings and pie are in the cooler.

Hi all, just got back from Chicagoland. Had a great weekend, rode Metra's Aurora sub into the city from Lisle, walked all the way from Union Station to Hancock and back, then today spent some time driving around the Naperville/Eola/Aurora area before catching the tollway home. Tried to get some photos during the Metra ride, but due to cloudy conditions and tinted windows, they just didn't turn out very well. I've got a few questions concerning some of the things I saw, but I think I'll start a separate thread for that. Hey CW, you have anything that would rival Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory in the Hancock building?

[Anonymous]

Brian. don't you just love the 40 miles of construction between Rochelle and Sterling?
45 MPH limit and cops every mile without a worker in site. They've even got the unmarked vans with cameras sitting in the medians. I think our governor is trying to pay for the whole project with double fines for speeding. He probably has to as he's sqandered the rest of the states money.. He'll be next in line behind the Texas rep Tom DeLay. Willy

[blhanel]

Eh, I can live with it to get to my favorite stretch of highway. Didn't see any cops when we went through between 3 and 4 PM this afternoon, but it didn't really matter- you still get behind someone who believes in toeing the line, and you're stuck there...

[Anonymous]

Had to travel to our other plant in Rochelle for 3 weeks a while back and ended up taking Route 30. It parallels 88 and has just been reblactopped. Could make the trip in 15 minutes quicker even though it's a 55 MPH zone. Willy

[CShaveRR]

Illinois 38 is closer to the tracks than 88 nearly all the way across the state (it only goes as far west as Dixon--then you take Route 2 beyond Sterling and Route 30 west to Clinton).

[cherokee woman]

Brian, I've never had any cheesecake from the Godiva Cheesecake Factory,
but I have a recipe for my cheesecakes that is out of this world, imo.

Coffee and juice are ready. Breakfast this morning will be turkey bacon,
sausage, biscuits & gravy, oatmeal & toast, all the stuff to warm us all on
this very cool, rainy Monday morning.

For lunch, we have leftover porkchop abracadbra and stuffing, from yesterday.

Will take some suggestions as to what you'd like for supper tonight. I'm
thinking lasagna, maybe you all will have some other suggestions. So let
me know what you'd like to have for supper tonight. (Need to know by around
noon, so I can get it started).

[JoeKoh]

I made some special chicken soup to go with the leftovers for lunch.40s and drizzle today.
stay safe
joe

[Mookie]

bzzz....le pant, le pant.....I'm here! Desk is full of paper and I am busier than a one-armed paperhanger with an itch!

Lasagne - count me in.....

Need to borrow some rice from the diner - got a makeup receipe in my head - sausage and rice somehow put together. I may try to do one of those really earth shaking things - cook at home tonite!

Or, maybe not!

Better hit the hammock to make my decision....think better with eyes closed.....ah....

Moo

[fuzzybroken]

Ahhh, good to be back on the forums! A little telecommunications snafu has had me off-line for a week, and the e-mails are sure piling up! Nonetheless, I stopped in at a Kinko's last night, and again this morning, to get my fill of internet-related stuff and upload a bunch of photos and other stuff to my website -- see What's New.

I think I'll stay away from the turkey bacon, but the sausage sure sounds good...[:P][dinner]

[swg]

[cherokee woman]

Mookie, you mentioned lasagna, so am making lasagna, w/garlic toast;
also have some chicken w/roasted new red potatoes and veggies. So
you'll have your choice of those two specials, along with our anytime menu.
And when you get that recipe figured out in your head, would you mind
sharing it with me?

Joe, our rain has stopped here; weatherman said this morning that it was
possible we could see some snowflakes, but I've been out a couple of
times today, and haven't seen any. But with the wind blowing, it feels like
we could see some snowflakes blowing around out there. At least, if we do,
the ground's not cold enough for it to stick.
