We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I miss Shoney's. There aren't many of them left.
I was one of the opening crew in Russellville, AR, and quickly promoted to kitchen manager.
A few years later I worked for them again, in Texarkana, as the closing manager. Flat salary, with the possibility of a bonus (which was always denied... go figure!)
I still miss that breakfast buffet, though. And I do miss my time spent working the griddle, slapping sheets of bacon down, cooking burgers and steaks on the griddle and char-rock.
A couple of months ago I made a Slim Jim for my wife... sesame seed hoagie role, thin-sliced ham heated on the griddle, swiss cheese melted on top, thousand island dressing on the bun, with some lettuce and tomato...
And then I made another one for me. And another one for her. And so on, until we were out of ingredients.

Wooops - forgot about that.
Will change post #1 to reflect RCD. We can do Shoney's next week.
Anyone who wishes a Shoney's meet up will find me at the one on Broad St. at Skipwith Rd on Friday 11/23 at 8:30 am.
Yes, I eat out a lot. It beats not eating...
Will also be there on Sat. Dec 2nd at 8:30 am.

You know, you might try a bit of shopping and cooking. Amazing things you can do with food when you do that. Start small at first. Fry and egg and put bread in the toaster slot and push it down. Open a jar of strawberry jelly and you are set for a light breakfast.
It can be amazing. Learn to do that and you can stay in bed lounging around and dozing for another hour plus.

I am said to be an excellent cook. For just myself I do prepare quick, simple meals. For large groups it is no biggy to buy ingredients to make a multi-course dinner.....but it is not cost efficient/practical/possible to buy small enough quantities to feed just one person.
I am not sleep deprived. Were it not medically beneficial to get enough rest, I would consider sleep to be a waste of time. I do my best work when awake.
"on something or other" ??
In my Ram and rollin'.
Neither my hands, feet, or mind are idle, but I am all natural. What you see is what you get.
