TOD:
I couldn't tell you what was the first submarine sandwich I ever had. But my favorite place for subs was a place on Venice beach called Warners. They were very much a family-run business, and their sandwiches were made on the best french rolls I ever had. At one point they added tongue and head cheese to their menu. I loved the tongue, but the two new sandwiches left as quickly as they came because no one else was buying them, ha!
Unfortunately, Warners is long gone - I used to go there in the late 80s.

I’ve gotten knee deep in a few books lately, including Balzac’s Cousin Bette. Was there ever such a cast of characters so relentlessly ugly? They’re worse than characters in an Agatha Christie mystery. And I’m loving every word.

If you've never seen the Margaret Tyzack-BBC production, rent it. It's very well cast.

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #64 on:** February 06, 2018, 08:19:51 AM »

I'm here late this morning.

I had no sooner gotten up than I was told that some white stuff was heading our way. Fortunately, no big deal this morning -- but it was a good reminder that I had to get down to the vet's office to pick up Poe's prescription food before tomorrow...when we ARE getting some kind of a mess that WILL be some kind of big deal.

So I ran out and did that while it flurried, and decided I'd best stop at the grocery store for ~~BREAD AND MILK~~ just a few things I needed for the next couple of days. So that's done, too. The gods left about a quarter of an inch on the driveway which I'll now go out and blow off, hopefully, with the leaf blower, so we don't pack more of it down driving over it. Oy!

TOD....surely you meant a hero, BK....

TOD....surely you meant a hoagie, vixmom....

ChasSmith · « **Reply #66 on:** February 06, 2018, 08:32:26 AM »

For a food question, this is a tough one for me. I have no idea what my first one was, where I might have been, or under which name it went.
(Sub, hero, hoagie, grinder, and I think po' boy is similar....)

The reason I threw "hoagie" up to vixmom is that one of the most memorable ones I ever had was a delicious Italian hoagie in Philadelphia. And I can even tell you when. It was in the year 1983, and I swear (there I go again) I haven't had one to equal it.

But I love 'em, even while it's not something I think to get very often because they can be so messy, depending on what you load them up with.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #67 on:** February 06, 2018, 08:37:58 AM »

Not sure, but I think "grinder" implies hot meats and such, more than the veritable plethora of items a sub might contain.

And then there's the cheesesteak. OMG. When I discovered these (again, in Philadelphia, also in 1983) I was in heaven. Having suffered several disappointing attempts, I rarely get one anywhere except in Philly, or at least close by, because for my taste they so rarely come close to the real thing.

Oh I do not miss snow, especially now that I can no longer shovel.

I have. It was great. The book is even uglier and more naughty.

Get plenty of rest, you will need it if you are going to see a HS production of GUYS & DOLLS.....in all likelihood - but I could be wrong.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #74 on:** February 06, 2018, 09:05:17 AM »

I always thought about submarine sandwiches the way I first thought about pizza pies.

However - a subway shop opened in the mall where I worked - and I had one for lunch one day - turkey, roast beef, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, and cheese....

And I still love to eat them when I can. We have a Subway here in town but it is on the MOST difficult corner in town to pull into and drive away from, so I rarely have one there.

John G. · « **Reply #75 on:** February 06, 2018, 09:12:58 AM »

There’s a New Jersey pizza joint in town that is said to import the water for its doughs and bread from New York. They have a cold Italian sub that’s served warm. There’s nothing special about its iceberg lettuce, tomato slices and onions or it’s salami, cold cuts and cheese. But all together, it’s one beautiful sandwich

Jane · « **Reply #76 on:** February 06, 2018, 09:21:53 AM »

I have a vague recollection of going to a party in my early teens and having a long sub sandwich cut up in smaller portions. Except for the size I was unimpressed.

I have rarely had one I actually enjoyed and I find the smell of Subway yucky.

On the articles on John Mahoney, they mention that he was born in England. That reminded me of his appearance on Foyle’s War. He was really good in that episode.

This is great. Do they have any idea how long that will be? I am hoping the sores were caught early. I knew people in the nursing home that couldn't get rid of them and I volunteered there for a very long time

I received this book yesterday about a library cat in the midwest. You might enjoy it, DR George.

I've never heard of this! It turns out that there's a series of books. I checked and my library has several of them:

Dewey : The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched The World *
Dewey : There's a Cat In the Library!
Dewey The Library Cat : A True Story
Dewey's Nine Lives : The Legacy of the Small-Town Library Cat Who Inspired Millions **
Dewey's Christmas at the Library

*Also available from TRL as downloadable OverDrive ebook or talking book

I am surprised you never heard of it. I thought Dewey was famous

Jane · « **Reply #87 on:** February 06, 2018, 01:06:21 PM »

I wish people would stop sharing stories on facebook without checking them out. At least the current one is half true, still I would not share it.

In the funny small facebook world.....

My friend Mitch shared the post...."If YOU want to see more posts from more than 25 of your (Facebook) friends,......"

On Mitch's page I was talking to a guy named Blair Tindall.

Seconds later former DR Jose shared the same story and there was Blair making the same comment it is a hoax.

Since Mitch, whom I went all through school with, is also a musician a asked if that was the connection.

I am guessing some of you know who Blair is. I didn't know by her name.

Jane · « **Reply #89 on:** February 06, 2018, 01:11:05 PM »

My 3rd mutual friend of Blair's is Keith's childhood friend. I have no idea how they are connected.
