There were Sizzlers in Sherman Oaks, Encino, still one on Laurel Canyon near Victory, Burbank (Hollywood Way, I think - still there), Sherman Way near the Van Nuys airport (that was the one we went to most in the 70s) and of course all over LA proper.

Good morning.

Still one on Highland, Western, Vermont, Los Feliz, and Culver City.

I have just indulged in the purchase of a first row balcony seat for the March 24th matinee of Grand Hotel at City Center. Orchestra and Grand Tier are both completely sold out. Are any othe DRs planning to attend this performance?

I'll be around. Can we step out for a nosh after? The orchestra reading is this Tuesday and I have yo miss the morning session because of another epidural.

Today I was accompanied by Mae-Ling Goldstein -- not Wae-Ling - to get the vegetable box. She turned vegetarian the day we all were making a stuffed turkey for Thanksgiving several years ago. She thought pulling the giblets out of the turkey was DISGUSTING. Wae-Ling thought it was the best part about Thanksgiving.

Laura · « **Reply #38 on:** February 24, 2018, 08:52:14 AM »

I don't see Mae-Ling very often, so I enjoyed her company. I think she tolerated mine. We got 30 zucchinis, a LOT of various kinds of tomatoes, and bell peppers. She got to choose as much as she wanted out of the batch.

Then we went to Wal-Mart, and I bought her a zoodle maker, a cheese grater, and a chopper thing. Her dad won't let her use the food processor I gave her for Christmas, because he doesn't want to have to wash it.

I made several posts out of that story.

I would love that. I can make reservations for us at Lily's if you'd like.

When I got home, I made a scrambled egg with zucchini planks, sliced yellow bell peppers, salt and pepper.

There used to be Sizzler right next to our church. When I was a kid we would go there occassionally for special occassions

They are nice to have when you need them, but I agree they are a pain to wash. Over the years I used mine less and less.

I loved the fried bread......it was probably 800 calories, but I was a kid and skinny as a rail with a functioning thyroid so I would eat as many pieces as I was allowed

Jane · « **Reply #52 on:** February 24, 2018, 09:02:57 AM »

I highly suspect Mae-Ling enjoyed her alone time with DR Laura.

Laura · « **Reply #53 on:** February 24, 2018, 09:03:27 AM »

It makes thin ribbons out of zucchini.

It is supposed to trick your kids into thinking they are eating spaghetti instead of squash. As if.

I use my food processor for making hummus a lot. Also pie dough and other doughy things that I can mix up in there. I used it for the cake pops.

I remember when you met the young Vixter ( was it 10, 12 years ago?!) and tried to talk to her about bring a vegetarian. You asked her if she liked animals and in all seriousness she answered, "yes, I like the way they taste"

Laura · « **Reply #56 on:** February 24, 2018, 09:06:48 AM »

My husband always wants to stop at Sizzler whenever we happen to find one on our travels. He never remembers how bad the steak is.
