This always happens near the end of the winter and the start of spring. Everyone is busy and forgets to make time for the diner.  I will try to stop by every day and liven things up. 

Lets see- how could I rouse up some trouble without getting anyone mad.  Oh yeah everyones favorite topic, What is your favorite railroad?

Mine is probably Union Pacific out of the Class 1 railroads. 

Have fun!!

Good Monday morning, everyone!  Sure do hope that everyone had a good weekend, and is ready to get back into the swing of things.  

Looks like others are sleeping in this morning, like I did.  Didn't wake up until 7 or a little after.  Just felt too comfortable under the comforter!  

Mutt says that he hopes the kitty is wearing her snowshoes, in the correct direction, and isn't ready to kick anyone! Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]Evil [}:)]

On the warmer bar, you'll find:  bacon, sausage, biscuits, gravy, hash browns, scrambled eggs, oatmeal & toast.

I took a ride through Redfield, NY, Saturday.  They still have plenty of snow....  I expect you'll be able to find some there well through May.

Bearclaw and a tea for me, please.

Dan - great picture! I can never get a picture like that. My cats (Chessie and Tehachapi) will be doing something cute or funny, but by the time I get the camera, they've stopped. Cats are just difficult that way.

CW, any chance that you know how to make fleischkuekle?  I don't have a deep fat fryer, and I haven't made that in about 40 years.

I went searching the web for fleischkuekle and was slightly amazed to discover that it is rather unique to North Dakota (having come from Germany, of course).  There are restaurants in ND that have it on the menu.

It is a meat pie (usually made from hamburger with various seasonings).  Just take bread dough, flatten it, add the meat filler which gets sealed in the dough, and deep fry it.  Rather easy to make.

Nebraska Runzas (TM).......  Only we bake ours.  They are meat, onion and cabbage all cooked and put on a flat square of bread, then folded and sealed and baked and comes out like a very small loaf of bread.....to die for - and if you can't tolerate cabbage - you will.  But they are sooooooo gooooood.....

LM - still looking for the snowshoes.....(and the chicken)

Moo...
