Topic of the Day: in Lacey, there used to be a drive-in hamburger joint called Norm's and they had the best burgers. There was no indoor seating, just picnic tables outside, so it was an actual drive-in. Norm's closed more than 20 years ago, but people still remember their burgers fondly.

Morning all.

That is all.

I will be off to the office soon.

I'll probably be there for 5 or 6 hours then I have some errands to run.

Anthony will do the laundry today and then we will probably go to the diner for dinner and then come home and watch Hobson's Choice with Charles Laughton

As for restaurant down here in Florida

to paraphrase Dr. Otternschlag:

Restaurants... always the same. They come, they go. Nothing ever happens.

I've been listening to a re-broadcast of a BBC program (originally aired in April) honoring

Doris Day on her 90th Birthday

There is an interview with Michael Ball and Doris Day during the program.

It's available to listen through next Friday afternoon

Good morning, all.

A bit late.

I've been up, but have been lazying around in the La-Z-Boy which is in an area of the house that does poorly with the Wi-Fi.

TOD: When I lived in Port Charlotte, Fla., I would frequent a place called Thai Cafe and became friends with the owners, Sam and Nancy. The food was fantastic, especially during stone crab season, when they would make their usual dishes with tiny stone crab claws.

Nancy also made these amazing Thai donuts using rice flour and they were served steaming hot from the fryer. You'd then dip them in a vanilla glaze with peanuts in them and practically gorge yourself on the richness.

They moved to Sarasota and then on to LA about a year after I moved to San Antonio. That's about when I lost touch with them.

I remember the Painted Horse restaurant as one we always wanted to go back to whenever we visited the Miami area, which seemed to be often in the 1960's and 1970's.

My favorite sandwich shop was called Warners in Venice, CA. I think it was actually on Venice Blvd. Their sandwiches were made on absolutely the best bread. At one point they came out with two new sandwiches, tongue and headcheese. I had the tongue a couple times and it was quite good, but just a couple months after they introduced the new sandwiches, they were gone from the menu again because obviously everyone else thought tongue and headcheese were gross. I remember the surprised looks on their faces when I ordered the tongue.
