Every now and again, the missus gets fretful weird and speaks of death (I'm not allowed to die first). Once she asked me how I'd like to go, refusing to accept in answer "whichever way it happens is how it's going to happen." So, I told her that we would be older than we thought we'd be, sitting together on the porch swing, hand in hand, enjoying the sunset on a warm, breezy evening, when our hearts would stop on the same beat. She like that idea.

Such a romantic. HBPW and I have had this conversation a couple times.

Yea Malin, that Mac n chez looks nasty to me. Its Outback. That means its cheap overcooked pasta, cheese either from a big can or it came in form of a powder, yum. And the granulated bacon on top? It comes in a bag and its "bacon" the same way "chicken McNuggets" are chicken.

But, we all have different tastes, and I don't think anyone is stupid, just because they love stupid food.

I just don't like Outback. I don't like Cracker Barrel, either. Most people think I'm strange for harboring these beliefs.

Speaking of restaurants, yesterday, my Dad said he believes restaurants in Arkansas have better food than restaurants in Tennessee.

After thinking about it for a moment I came to the conclusion, right or wrong, it's because the restaurants we eat at in Arkansas are Mom&Pops. There just aren't that many M&Ps in this part of Tennessee, if any, now a days.

Some of the best food I've eaten was at a sh!thole truck stop on I-40 just east of Forrest City, Arkansas. When I walk into this place my fist thought is tuberculosis. Haha I've eaten there now 4 times and haven't contracted any thing yet. <Knocks wood>

Like you, mal, I do not eat at Cracker Barrel. [Honestly, I do not care for most casual restaurant chains. Now, know that Waffle House is different.] Whenever possible, I eat at the local independents. God bless all entrepreneurs who can make a better biscuit.

Used to be a place called, if memory serves, "Grandma's Biscuits" in underground Atlanta. I ate there in 69/70(?). Wonder if it still exists?

Long closed. There was one on Buford Hwy in Doraville up to a year or so ago, but they closed, too. I never went in to discover if they were related to the older joint.

I agree with this. We have a couple of mom and pop breakfast/lunch places near us that are very good. One serves fish and grits that are outstanding. Your choice of whiting or catfish and comes with 2 eggs and toast. Another has chicken livers for lunch on Wednesdays that are done well.


I do admit I like the French toast breakfast at Cracker Barrel though.

Hey Behr, Nat has finally started to venture out at Cracker Barrel. For the longest time, she would only get the kids veggie plate double dumplings...drove me nuts. She actually ordered Meat and veggies the last few times. It's her grandpa's favorite place. We usually go on Mother's day and Father's day(later in the evening after the lunch crowd) and for dinner the night of our Christmas get together.

I have fond memories of eating at CB as a kid. Same with Shoneys and Shakeys Pizza. I don't think I've ever eaten anything but breakfast at CB. I also don't think I've eaten at CB but maybe twice since I've lived in Florida, both times were when visiting my dad and brother in Tennessee, and both times at the same one we went to when I was a kid.

Anyway, does Nat like pineapple sammiches?
