speaking of perfect meals....my DH gave me a gift certificate from my favorite restaurant that had closed last year. they reopened under a new name at a Binghamton hotel, so we went the other night. my fav things are no longer on the menu, so we ordered the one chicken that was still on it and their famous prime rib soup. Both were yummy, but I noticed we got rice with the chicken. when the owner stopped by our table I praised the them, then mentioned that I noticed the double stuffed baked potatoes were not on their menu as well as my favorite dish. she told me when I call next time to make a reservation, give them a day or so and they WILL make us what we liked from their old menu. I am dreaming of my perfect meal. We will be going back.
the fireman funeral will be over the weekend, with lots of firefighters coming from across the state. they had opened a FB page and on it individuals and businesses are donating hotel rooms for firefighters to stay in while here. I cannot believe it. one pizza joint donated 5 rooms and challenged the other ones. OIP then donated 10 rooms. people are really amazing. some are donating a dollar for every like of the page, so if you are on FB please go like them. it’s called Prayers and Support for Owego Fire Department. thanks.
That sounds wonderful-I hope the dish is as good as you remember it.
The restaurant in my doomsday meal scenario closed about 28 years ago. It re-opened a couple of years later as a tourist-and-mall shopper place with the same fried-fat-and calorie menu of all the others-try finding something healthy on it.
The subdued, warm lodge-in-the-woods eatery atmosphere had become a shouting, plate clanging chaos-the formerly quiet bar was a blindingly lighted happy hour place with drink orders being shouted over the music and noise-it was awful-we never went near the place again...
