We Need A Supper Joint!

    Between the hot humid weather and sharing my cold, this week cooked meals have been rather haphazard around here.  Last night neither one of us
was hungry at supper time but a couple of hours later we both were but neither one of us felt like cooking so we tried to go out for supper.  At 8:30pm on a Thursday night there's not much open  except the high-priced restaurants and the fast-food joints.  We decided to try Denny's coz Jeff always liked going there when he first moved to Herkimer.  The menu sounded good but the prices had gone up but we decided on what we were hungry for and ordered anyway.  Jeff got pot roast with mashed potatoes, veggies and garlic bread and I got a burger with bacon and cheese and fries.  With his coffee and my soda the bill came to $27.00.   Unfortunately, it wasn't worth it.  Jeff's meal was cold (cold gravy???)  and the portion size was ridiculously lacking.  My burger was sitting in a pool of oil.  Oh, well, Fanny enjoyed the burger and we went home hungry.  I guess next time we're going to have to try Applebee's  or Pizza Hut. Tonight I'm biting the bullet and cooking...spaghetti and meatballs with hot sausage and garlic bread.  I guess we've been spoiled by Belly Busters and Mona's Diner (Mohawk).  You get your money's worth of good food at both places.  The only downside is that they don't stay open for supper.
