    Never dreamed I'd see the day I'd be priced out of fast food

    We have a Starbucks here and one of the employees told me, on the level, a family comes in every day and easily spends $1200 a month. Once and a while I'd take our 9 YO daughter there. She'd get wired and yacky all day long. Mom put a stop to that.

    Never dreamed I'd see the day I'd be priced out of fast food

    Thick hand-slices of Costco fresh baked bread with a 1/2" slice of fried baloney tops everything. Save a ton of money.

    Never dreamed I'd see the day I'd be priced out of fast food

    When I was a kid McDonalds only hired High School Boys. Hamburgers were fresh grilled, 4S buns baked that morning and tasted really good. Big Mac was a copy of the Bobs Big Boy and both were 50 cents. Then they switched to hiring parents trying to raise a family on minimum wage. Food shipped...

    I know it's lousy quality, but once a year I may find myself in the drive thru. Rolled thru McDonalds Thursday. Big Mac, Med Frys, Med Coke: $17.98. Blindsided me. Same order at In n Out with a recent steep price hike about $8. Better quality and taste preference varies person to person of...

    Any Potato Farmers in this forum? I imagine a few:

    Our youngest leased a good chunk of land behind a local church. Churches out here established back when land was super cheap so most have tons of extra space they rent out.

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    Long ago when I was working at the local Budweiser brewery Bud was the only beer that used toasted barley in Bock Beer. It made it dark and added to the flavor. All the other world brewers used dyes. I doubt it's that way anymore but unique for its day.

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    She eventually started coming in late then later, and even later than later. The trustees eventually hired a real bar manager and the first thing he did was fire her. That's my career as a work-for-free-bar manager. ----------------------------------------------------------- Tonight we'll be...

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    There was a time way back where I was asked to "volunteer" to be the bar manager at our ELKs until the trustees could hire someone. Jack was so popular back then and we only had one Jack Daniels supplier I had to buy several other cases of other brands before they'd let me buy one case of Jack...

    I've been making this and it really is good. Just doing it to do it. A ripe banana is amazing. Sweetest most flavor bananas come from Hawaii and Nicaragua. Source is usually on the box or label.
