We had a leftover Apple pie from the cookout yesterday that I had picked up at giant eagle. Pricey but I just didn't have time to bake anything. DH & I both had a piece for breakfast this morning. We both got very sick around the same time several hours later. Had no idea pie could be an issue as to food borne illness. Yuck. Still feel shaky.
And it's time for tea. Iced tea today. Sun is out, and plants are starving for some rain. We may finally get some tomorrow.
Very nice, as it happens now & again ran into several large groups that clogged up things at the hotel. Two of them (gangsta wanna-bees vs a group that kept randomly shouting they were "...from Georgia, loud & proud...") wound up coming to blows over chair saving at the main pool. Two women no less. Awesome sauce. Security had their hands full. A shame as IMO the resort has the nicest poolscape in MB - the landmark. We took to zig-zagging the other way or heading to beach when they were out, loudly commandeering their turf.
Talked to head of security. He told me this year they've experienced a different crowd in MB, seems a bit rougher. Told the major hotels are amping up their security presence poolside, which has helped to tone things down. Decided next trip we will move north & again return to the Arcadian section of MB, much quieter and many properties have nice pools, just not as elaborate as the Landmark.
Captain George's is hand's down the best seafood place in MB, across from Broadway @ the beach. Not king crab but good, I concentrate on the clams/mussels, shrimp. LIke that they have lots of seafood that isn't fried.
I"m not a fan of calabash frying, really any frying of seafood, think it ruins the unique flavor of the fish. Went against my better instincts and had fried soft shell crab at Carolina roadhouse. Let's just say it was a lesson learned. Prime rib ordered medium well came out mooing. Even a toss on the grill couldn't fix it. At least the salad and crossiants were killer. We would return there (44th street area). We wil go back and do the steaks or chicken there, nice vibe & $5.95 drink specials.
Angelos in the 20-something south area has an excellent steak that is served on a sizzling platter. Early bird specials, you really need to get there early or be prepared to wait & wait. An Italian seafood buffet that my extended family thinks is good. I'm picky as to sauce, their's is tart, needs sugar lol.
Those from the south, feel free to laugh. We love K&W Cafeteria, nothing like it where we live. Food is always good there, only place I will order mashed potatoes and the greens are divine. Fried chicken great, beef roast too when it's not overly cooked.
We like River city hamburger chain too, didn't get a chance to visit this trip.
***stinking pic won't load***
Reading over on the Kong thread and I see where someone "announced" they had a small child and asked the live actors not to jump out. That's all well and good, but do they not realize it kinda ruins the experience for the others they're in line with? Some of us enjoy being scared
Why didn't they just remove said child from the attraction via chicken exit...that's why they have them. Sigh
Guess they never heard of baby swap or considered a ride centered on King Kong might just be a mite scary.
Need to call and request the marg stand be back open by my birthday. I'm sure they'll understand.
Maybe they had to make it bigger for the people who stop on the way to frozen... And the people who can't believe they waited 3 hours in line and need one after
As long as they don't water that bad-boy down, I'm good.
Thank you - we knew with 4 parents in their 80's that time was moving on but you just hope it will be a gentler pathway than cancer.
Indeed, a horrible thing to face. Hope it goes as well as can be expected for your family.
Yes, it is, and drive- thru beer and not hard liquor beverages, they are not illegal and one is right near me, which is why on Friday nights, the waiting cars back up traffic. Convenient too. Funny story about yours. I take my kids into our liquor stores since they were young. I don't think the clerks know their names.
No drive thru beer here, supposedly we might get a grocery store that will carry - gasp - wine!!! Permitting up to 4 bottles purchase. PA is the worst with the state store/beer distributor system.
Sounds delicious !
I too put mayo on my eggs
And fish
And meatloaf
Preferred Hellmans over Kraft
There's other mayo besides Hellmans? Honestly, cannot imagine eating mayo on any of the food you reference. Is that a local thing? It's Heinz catsup all the way for me, well, except for ice cream.
That was just a small selection. There was Jack and much more.
Lol reminds me of biker weddings we've attended, but classy! Always thrilled when they have bottled booze in lieu of moonshine punch thrown in a kid's wading pool...which I won't touch...heard one too many tales of many people going blind from some of that ho-made swill out of WV.
poor poor man....
JK
Cheap family therapy to get out all the aggression lol
. Hope everyone had a great 4th.
