I think I am back on a decent sleep schedule.

Re the TOD, I've liked the food at all of those places, but they were always pricey and I rarely frequent them now since prices have skyrocketed. Of course you can say the same about the other guys, too, so choose the poison you can justify. And I do honor the boycotting of Chic-fil-A or however it's written.

John G. · « **Reply #33 on:** June 21, 2025, 06:39:45 AM »

I never liked Chik-fil-A, way too carby. Shake Shack is extremely overpriced and not filling. Five Guys may be the worst burger I’ve ever eaten; the meat was going bad and the bun was sweet.

DR ElMORE nice photo and interesting story.

I am not able to make a copy of the documentary. Sorry. No skills.

TOD:

Burger King - not exactly high end, though.

My DH is out getting veggie boxes. The two different companies had completely different things .....

Laura · « **Reply #37 on:** June 21, 2025, 07:26:51 AM »

He's getting one of each. Luckily my wonderful next-door neighbors and a vegan friend of mine will help with it.

Add cheese to their very tasty original Chicken sandwich, you're over $11, even before having fries with that, let alone a drink. That's still continually surprising.
I'd like to get it without the tax, but that never seems an option.

I'm guessing the chicken sandwich wouldn't preserve all that well in a Burger King bundle. It's fabulous when it's hot. It seems to lose something even when it becomes lukewarm.

I boycott the chicken place

vixmom · « **Reply #41 on:** June 21, 2025, 07:31:28 AM »

The shake shack shake was nothing special, the burger was foul, I have never been back.

vixmom · « **Reply #42 on:** June 21, 2025, 07:34:07 AM »

The Five Guys near us was lovely but their prices have more than doubled.

I now buy a four burger package and sesame brioche buns from Aldi, get two meals for the two of us and two extra buns for sandwiches for less than the cost of one burger .

And they taste better

It occurs to me that Skanky Pepperoni can be sung to the tune of Fascinating Rhythm, if they ever need a jingle that tries to sell the Skanky Pepperoni.

Tonight we are going out for Copper River (Alaska) Sockeye Salmon. Fishing is restricted, and this place we know happened to get in 40 filets last night.

Yes.

George, interesting story in last night's posts on tracking down that movie for the library!

And thanks also for posting that link to "Into the Fire" from Scarlet Pimpernel! Most enjoyable seeing Douglas Sills performing the song in 2020 and Christine Andreas' opening reminiscences about the song in the original show - and of course that BK's own Robert Yacko was in it is a plus, including his own fun spoken contributions during the video's closing credits!

You're very welcome, Freddie!

In November 1980, my first Thanksgiving in this apartment, I had a Than dinner for my friends living in and around NYC and employees of the Drama Book Shop who had no place to go. This photo of the day, taken by my friend Snooky Barton, I believe, popped up oin my Facebook memories. Perhaps this triggered last night's dream.

The people down front: Sally Netzel (DBS), David Panella (DBS), David Dreyfoos (DBS);
Next row: Thom Heinrichs (DBS), Karen Eifert (college(, Me, David Erwin (Thom's boyfriend) Richard Newman (Middletown friend), and a stranger with a moustache;
Behind them Nancy Corporon (conductor of the NYC Gay Communiuty Marching Band), John Schneidler (Middletown friend).

Thom and I had co-written a march for the NYC Gay Community Marching Band; he and David Dreyfoos had written a song for the cabaret act I worked with, "Doggy Walkin' Boy"; Sally Netzel was a playwright, Karen Eifert, a friend since college, was wardrobe mistress on The Best Little whorehouse in Texas; David Dreorked for years with the Westbury Playhouse, I think.

That's a great picture, Larry!
