Here’s mine, cooked by CJ. THANKS.
… It looked a lot worse after I got finished with the pliers, tongs and picks.

Starbucks coffee is INEXPENSIVE
#Starbucks
Katie Couric recently interviewed Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz on CBS Sunday Morning and asked him if he thought the company had a “tin ear” to what people were going through with the recession. Perhaps, she suggested, they couldn’t afford to pay “$5 on their coffee every day.” Schultz’s response was to laugh. You see, Starbucks coffee only costs $1.50. …
The Starbucks CEO was widely mocked for that quote. But fact is, … he’s right.
IF you buy a Starbucks card …
IF you drink the cheap stuff, Pike’s filter coffee …
… then Starbucks is not much more expensive than McDonald’s coffee.
IF you want a refill …
… it’s FREE for me in Canada. $.50 for me in some other nations.
At Tim Horton’s in Canada refills are full price.
I love Starbucks, especially their reliable, high speed free WiFi.
survived the KFC Double Down
As you recall, the KFC Double Down sandwich was ruled a ‘crime against humanity’ in the Hague.
Forcing someone to eat one is now considered a War Crime.
They are SO illegal that Barry Bonds denies ever eating one.
… yet in Cleveland I was able to purchase one under the counter. Nudge nudge, wink wink.
Apparently some rogue KFC franchises are still carrying them.

Mezza Mediterranean Grill, Calgary
For years I’ve been raving about the best donairs in Calgary. A hole in the wall near the downtown library.
The name has changed over the years, but not the food. And they’ve recently started opening Saturdays 10am – 2pm.

Black Bear Diner
With nearly 50 locations in the Western United States, the Black Bear is my quintessential American family restaurant.
Pork rips and tri-tip (“Santa Maria”) steak combo. Mashed potatoes and some surreal white gravy. Wonderful corn muffin.
That fulfills 33% of your daily caloric requirements, … if you weigh 850lbs.
Denny’s Restaurant shout out
Denny’s Restaurants – Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner 24/7.
In the past I’d rank Denny’s at the very bottom of my favourite restaurants list.
But I have to admit, it’s been very good the past 2 or 3 visits. And very popular.
shameless Barbecue guru flogs with Barbecutie
A fabulously wealthy cookbook author uses supermodels to promote his chemicals and sizzled flesh.
… No doubt he holidays in Hawaii with the ill gotten booty.
Pike Place Market, Seattle
I take the ferry over to Victoria Friday morning.
Walking through historic Pike Place Market en route to the 8am departure, I’ll grab a Pike Roast at Starbucks. The original opened here in 1971.
what kind of tea would you like?
Jude stores her teas on a serving tray, something like this one that Jane uses.
Good idea.
But this is all the tea I need.
