Joe and Kozzie,

When I was growing up, I wouldn't eat chicken livers either. But now I really enjoy them.

As some people say, "Try it: you'll like it!"

Actually, I would not touch chicken livers until 17 years ago, after Walt & I married. Now
I don't know why I wouldn't eat them growing up: cause I always ate beef liver. There's
not that much difference in them, really. They're very good for us.

I'll settle for the rest of the chicken.....

Anybody got an old RR dining car menu? Might be nice to enjoy dinner a la dining car from time to time...

Well I have had my coffee and my [}:)] ness is showing.

Since you don't like chicken livers, don't suppose you have tried either turkey or bull fries. And believe me, if they are prepared right - they are delicious. I prefer the turkey over the bull - obvious difference - but I wasn't too chicken to try them. Really did enjoy them. Can't get the driver to bite.....however....

Beef liver is great when prepared correctly (yours would have made it, Cher!). But I've also had some that practically turned me off from it completely.

Chicken livers...had 'em once, probably never again.

To quote the Big Rock Candy Mountain Boys Plus Jerry (a.k.a. The Second City):

"I hate liver! Liver makes me quiver
Liver makes me curl right up and die (makes me cry).
It gives you hives, gives you scurvy,
It makes my stomach topsy-turvy,
Liver simply just is not my bag (makes me gag)!"

The routine goes on to point out that there are five letters in the word "liver"... same as in the word "death".

Carl,
If it weren't for chicken livers,I might have starved to death in 1981 when I
had ALL my upper teeth taken out. I could at least gum them to death.[:D]

The rice doesn't sound too bad,but as I've already eaten,that

Okay guys and gals, let's have some suggestions for today's menu.

For breakfast, how about doughnuts (especially chocolate covered doughnuts), and
maybe some caramel pecan rolls, regular glazed doughnuts.

They're good too, espeefoamer. When I worked at KMart, every Friday morning at our
meetings, we had Krispy Kreme doughnuts. The favorites were the chocolate
covered ones with cream filling. Sounds good anytime of the day, doesn't it?

And speaking of doughnuts, anybody else see the ads to the right of the
Depot Diner & Coffee Shop thread? Krispey Kreme and a doughnut fryer ad!!
