Something About Nothing..........#11

[buckeev]

Happy Birthday to Keishashadow!

I've been trying to induce myself into a "Crab Cake Coma".....and I'm almost there....Day 4 of my 5 day mission to make crab an endangered species in Baltimore....complete...
So far...based on nothing but taste...(too hard for me to figure in others things like pricing, location, atmosphere, etc.)

day 1: M & S Grill (8/10)
Day 2: Pratt St. Ale House (8/10)
Day 3: Hyatt Regency Inner Harbour (8.5/10) surprise here!
Day 4: Capt. James Seafood (crab house) (9/10)

Also put away 8 VERY good "Steamed Crabs" at Capt. james, and they were superb!

Monday's goal...early lunch at G & M Restaurant and possibly Phillips for a early dinner/snack.
After that, I think I'll have satisfied my hankering for Maryland Crab Cakes, and exhausted a good portion of my F & W "discretionary funds" for October!

keep your notes so if i venture to that part of the country, you can lead me to the best crabby food.

how many more days left of your food fest?

I will keep them...I plan to do a bit more detailed review. I "researched" this trip for weeks-not Universal/Disney level research-but some serious googling and brain pickin' was done in order to have some decent ideas and options.
I see now why there are so many favorites by locals and visitors...they've all been very good so far.
Monday is our last day, but we fly home late, so I'll get in at least one more stop, although I'm tempted to go back to one of the first 4 I visited...Still wanna tour the ship museums and possibly the National Aquarium, but it'll be really pushing my son to do all of that in one day, with no Universal or Disney characters...(it's only the two of us...the "Village" stayed home for this trip.

Buckeev..........jealous of all the crab cakes......love em!!!!!!


Heading out this morning for some gifts for DH birthday.....not for a couple of weeks yet but with going away this weekend I like to be organised. The boy knows what he`s getting him, I have a couple of things already including a minionion teeshirt.......hope he likes it!!

looks another gorgeous day out there............

 

[schumigirl]

gives me flashbacks...used to own a cleaning company...emphasis on "used to"...had to fill in one too many times when my minions decided to blow off work.

mom's party went swell, she seemed to enjoy it. My washer died today, didn't seem that long ago when I bought it. that's what happens when you do laundry on your BD.

lol......didn't know that........

Sucks on the washer......I hate having to buy things like that.....prefer to spend money on fun things, but when it goes it`s one of those things you cannot do without.....that and the dishwasher......

Glad the party went well.......

 

[macraven]

i can safely assume it is monday
thanks schumi, you gave us the perfect picture.

i think all threads should have a calendar girl, especially when it is a minionion giving us the day of the week.

birthdays are fun!
hope Mr Schumi will have some surprises when his bday comes around.

will you have internet when you go visit mum?
if you don't, we need back up for our day of the week calendar........just sayin'


i'm thinking one of the homies here won't have that regular monday washing day today.
i feel your pain miss K...

Glad you like em........no Internet when I'm up there.......depends where I am. At the hotel we're going to I probably will have, but may not take iPad with me. Mums is a hit and miss with signal. Usually a miss.......lol......I'll get on the days of the week when I get back......I can email you from my phone though and occasionally pick up Internet from that!

Got DH some nice stuff for birthday.......but.....spent the whole day shopping with DS........it was too hot and too busy to be doing anything other than sitting in garden with cold drink. He decided he needed some clothes, then I wanted to get him some new bedding.........I thought that would be easy.........

So came home, eventually......massive headache........Tylenol, shower and a sleep for two hours.......feel fine!

Plan to do nothing tomorrow...........

[Bluer101]

LMAO!!!!

That's great.

 

[schumigirl]

Very quiet day today.......haven't done much at all. Even had a nap. Was lovely.

Will do more tomorrow......possibly.....

 

[Robo56]

Gym today. I had a nap today too. Glad I' am not the only one....

Ordered a new laptop for granddaughter from Apple. Done with PC's. We have IPads and and Apple phones and it was time to convert to Apple computer.

She is starting her first year at University this year. Hard to believe she is old enough for college.

Enjoy those little ones. They grow up before you know it.

 

[macraven]

robo, i think you will enjoy the apple products.
it has been the only type of electronics i have bought for myself.
strictly a Mac person.

my kids were too except for one.
that son spent his money on too much booze and fun and then couldn't handle apple prices.

you are a nice gma
wonderful gift to get your gd for starting college.

hopefully she will send you lots of emails on that new Mac when she hits school in the fall.

 

[macraven]

well, it is another one of those nights for me and can't sleep.
guess i should turn the lights out here

it's not like a motel six where we leave the lights on for you.


if you are 30 or under, you won't remember that commercial..

HeHe! It's Minion week! Thanks Schumi!

 

[Mrs bluer101]

Love the Minions Schumi!

 

[tink1957]

Love the minionions Carole...we all need our daily dose of the yellow guys.

Mac...I remember Tom Burdette and motel 6....wish I wasn't old enough

I'm seriously considering a Mac for my next purchase since all my devices are virus ridden messes...just have to stop traveling long enough to afford one...maybe next year.

A belated to Janet..hope your day was special.

Good to see ky07 posting again...hope everything is going well for you.

Buck...you're making me hungry with all this crab cake talk...good thing my pc beach trip is only 5 days away...I'll have to go on my own crab cake adventure...probably not as good as the ones you got I'm sure

Happy hump day to all

 

[tink1957]

Carole...did I miss Tom's birthday too or did you just go shopping for it?

If I missed it tell him a late or an early as the case may be.

 

[keishashadow]

minions & crabs special of the day? lots of butter & lemon with mine, please. admitted crab snob, too much filler in most crab cakes for me, do try to get my hands on some soft shell crabs during the season but few restaurants ofer here. steam them with some old bay & dump on newspaper lined table & off to the races. living inland they are easily $60 a dozen to have shipped here. Was surprised to not see them on menu in either clearwater or daytona this summer.

tink what beach is on the agenda? taking the whole crew along?

speaking of seafood, wondering if anybody has tried lombards lately?

Does anybody have any experience with Allegiant air? they have recently come to town & just started service to Sanford with a big sale. Wound up booking airfare in Nov for our girls trip at less than what SWA & Spirit were asking for one person. They do seem to really nickle & dime, was surprised to have to pay a 3% fee to use a credit card as payment lol. famous last words: how bad can it turn out?

good news re washer, repair magician said it's fixed, will find out today. at least it still has another 8 months' of full extended warranty. I pulled the paper work on my dryer and found it still had 3 weeks of coverage. he looked at it too, turns out needs a ton of parts he had to order. all the fancy electronics are shot. it was down to just one cycle & no timed drying. phew! had expected i'd be visiting Lowes, not to be confused with Loews lol.
