A couple of beignets would be fine however.

News (I think) Flash !!!
Campbell's has a new Chunky line soup called "grilled chicken and sausage gumbo"
that is surprisingly spicy for a commercial soup. Check it out but don't come retching or kvetching to me !!!
My home soups go for days. When the pot gets low. I just add another flavor.
Bon apetit ya'll

Locomutt would LOVE spicy gumbo: doesn't matter what meat is in it.
Remember: he's a former firefighter and LOVES FIVE ALARM CHILLI!!

Nawleans Po' Boy sandwich with Bloody Mary (or Charlie) with tabasco and big ole celery stalk.
Yum.

Rixflix,

PoBoy sandwich sounds good; but we don't serve alcohol at the diner, so you'll
have to leave off the Bloody Mary. And for my part, you can leave off the tobasco
sauce[:0]

[Noah Hofrichter]

oooohhhh. Po' boys. I have an aunt that lives in New Orleans and we go down there once every couple of years. I love the Po' bos and gumbo, and you can forget the beniegns, a donut like thing wiht powdered sugar on top. mmmmmmm [dinner][dinner]

Had an exciting find today when I went to the WSOR yard. They brought up the weed spaying outfit, a tank car and a special spraying car, along wiht there only switcher left, an SW1200. I've never seen any of this stuff before, so it was really exciting. I'l post pics in a couple of days.

Noah

Cool Noah,
We will be expecting pictures.
And yes,you have a "TAB" with the Diner.
Hope you didn't expect anything less.
Getting ready for supper right now![:D]

[cherokee woman]

Good morning, everyone!! Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day today.

The coffee is on (both decaf & regular) water on for hot tea, and the various soft drinks.
How about starting the day with some pancakes and sausage? There's also bacon,
eggs (hot sauce on the tables for those who like it on the eggs), grits for those who
like them (yuck), oatmeal, toast, cold cereal, etc.

Jim, how'd it go at work last night? Hope you had an "easy" night with not too many
problems.

And all of our "old timers", how about some good ole stories?[8D]

Today's Nascar Race, the Locomutt 500, is being sponsored by Jim's Depot Diner and Coffee Shop. Stop in after the race and Locomutt will be autographing pics of himself for the dinner's customers. CW gets the first one, then the free for all will start. This could get interesting. [:p] [8D] [;)]

Stand back, no crowding, I said NO crowding. [:p]

Hey Jim,

Locomutt wants to know where his royalties are[:I][;)][:-^]

[locomutt]

Way to go Noah!
And another HAPPY [bday]

[Noah Hofrichter]

Jim your list is good, but you forgot one thing. Add "1991 Forum member Noah Hofrichter is born at 3:25 in the morning."

Yes sir, the day was good. Went to local cafe for lunch, got a little 2 inch by 3 inch cake free because it was my Birthday so that was neat. And I had a visit from the money fairy.This morning we found so far $18.00 in change out on our front lawn. We found $13.00 by eye, and then I took a cheap $10.00 metal detector and found another $5.00 worth from the metal detector. I'm going to go comb the lawn some more tomarrow see if I can't find some more. It's all mine too, as I did all the work. Although if we see something in the paper as somebody being robbed of a change jar or something, we'll tun it in. Sure is strange. And At the train ride I got to ride in the Locomotive, even though we didn't pay the extra for it. We rode down the line in the coach like normal, but at the end the conductor said we could go ride in the cab back to the station if we wanted to. Couldn't turn them down. I wonder if it didn't have to do wiht the fact we said we knew the conductor from the WSOR, the one that gives us all the rides, as he works as a voluteer engineer once in a while at the Railway. It was neat. I'm rounding up my Day by surfing around here, yes it's all good.

The very happy birthday boy, Noah

People still actually remember drive-in movies?

[tree68]

And let us not forget "Mongo!" Among the first football players to get into movies...

[Mookie]

I am not a big movie buff - but this was well worth my time. One of the funnier ones I have seen. And "The Gods Must Be Angry" was good too.

Oh My Lands. [;)]

The 30th Anniversary Special Edition of Blazing Saddles is out. [^] I remember seeing this film at a drive in movie. [^] Now the land that was a drive in is a housing subdivision. [:(]

Here is a small review of the movie.

Mel Brooks scored his first commercial hit with this raucous Western spoof starring the late Cleavon Little as the newly hired (and conspicuously black) sheriff of Rock Ridge. Sheriff Bart teams up with deputy Jim (Gene Wilder) to foil the railroad-building scheme of the nefarious Hedley Lamarr.

To me this movie was the start of some very funny movies from Mel Brooks and others.
