I knew from our Coffee Shop that this would be THE place to get the tone and feel of the Trains forum, and I was right. I'm coming to the conclusion that if you like trains, you are an intelligent and interesting person, a conclusion that modesty prevented me from admitting before. All I needed was another reason to spend more time here, and now I have it. Looks like the household chores take another hit. And that exercise program ...well the less said the better. This is a Brave New World to explore, and I think I'm gonna like it. WELCOME! Please come back more often,hope you like the atmosphere here. And Ed,why do you need the mirror back[?] I've attempted to quit looking in them[:D] (with semi decent results)

QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Just finished some home cooked fried chicken, and was speneding time in the woodshop. After I posted, got hungry again, so had some biscuts and gravy. Might even fini***he night off with vanillia icecream with carmel topping. Now that I think about it, I just might bake a pecan pie or two for tomorrow. I like this thread, gives me an excuse to cook, then eat... By the way, who ever mentioned the pork chop covered with mushroom soup, try substituting one cup milk, and one cup sour cream, with sauted mushrooms and onions(saute onions and mushrooms, sliced or chopped, not whole, till the onions become clear, not brown). Heat the liquids till simmering, add one cup water, stir, and then add the pork chops, mushrooms and onions, simmer covered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionaly, till the chops become soft. Pepper the whole mixture. The chops just about fall off the bone. About a billion calories per bite, but worth it... Ed

QUOTE: Originally posted by Mookie I am gone overnite and all you people do is eat and leave dirty dishes! Ed - you can eat like that and not gain an ounce - that is pathetic! Kozzie - Nebraska raises some of the finest beef on a hoof - corn-fed and we ship it all out of state! What little bit we do have is wrapped and marked Nebraska Beef and then they charge about twice the regular price for it. I know a lot of our beef goes east! It is wonderful, but you can't afford it except about once a year. Jhhtransportation - can Duchess come out to play while you are busy? Breakfast - let's do an omelette - your choice of ingredients. Bacon, tomato and swiss would be my pick. Heard 3 trains this morning going thru our tiny bathroom. It was heaven! Haven't been to really train watch for 2 weeks and getting ansy!

QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard David, I am sure they purchase locally there, but you never know. Mickey Dees ships some of their junk overseas! I would bet your Lone Star Steak House is run under contract, or franchise, and buys most of its product locally. Ought to be about lunch time there, getting a good case of the munchies yet? Ed

QUOTE: Originally posted by edblysard Kozzie, Funny, but there are no Lone Star Steak Houses inTexas... Lone Star, and the Texas Land and Cattle Company Steak Houses are offshoots from a older restaurant chain, the Night Hawk. At one time, there were two Night Hawk Restaurants, one in Austin, the other in San Antonio, Texas. Family owned and run, they were great places to eat, each with its own local flavor. Sold in the mid 90 to a investor group, who formed several "Theme" restaurants, The Lone Star, Texas Land and Cattle, with a few others. Do a little digging, and you will find they are all owned and run by the Texas Land and Cattle company Inc. in Dallas Texas. They have their own distribution center and purchasing center, and ship most of their meats and produce from their distribution center to all of their restaurants from Seagoville, Texas(a little suburb of Dallas). Some items in each chain are purchased locally, depending on what it is. As for how authentic they are, well.... You would have a better taste of Texas eating at Dans parents Mexican food resturant here in Houston. Or ask Mudchicken about Los Cucos, real homemade Tex Mex. Ed
