This side dish should be familiar to the many FReepers who are politically active and attend lots of conferences and conventions. It goes with rubber chicken.

After eating at this restaurant on La Cienega Blvd. in West LA,, it's a safe bet that the Robins didn't leave a tip. But when I ate at their newer location in North Hollywood, I always had good service and good food.

By the way, they mention Jim's, Jack's, John's and Gene's. Mr. Jim's (on Vermont Ave. in LA), Jack's (in Whittier), John's Chili Bowl in Burbank and Gene's in Buena Park were all great eateries at the time. Jack's and John's Chili Bowl are the only ones surviving in 2025.

Thanks again, Kathy!

Good lazy week, the rain is finally falling here, much welcomed.

No big weekend plans, hope your weekend is great & restful!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...Happy Friday, indeed!

How’s the rain situation?

We are inching towards freezing temps.
