Review Of Jimmie's Diner In Wichita, Kansas

| Comments (2)

jimmies-diner-sign.jpg The nice lady at the front desk of the campground we are staying at in Wichita recommended Jimmie's Diner for breakfast.

To get there, we drove about 4 miles down K-96 east to the Rock Road exit, and turned right. The restaurant is about a half mile on the right, just past the Hooters.

Jimmie's is a 50's diner, where all the waitresses wear poodle skirts and ponytails.

Why I Love Pyrex Glass Food Storage Bowls

| Comments (2)

pyrex-10-piece-storage-set-glass-bowls-lids.jpgOne of the best things I did recently was to replace ALL of my old plastic food storage bowls & containers with glass ones.

My first thought was: No way, too expensive! But I had some gift certificates on Amazon to spend, so I splurged.

I'd become so frustrated with my 4-year old plastic bowls simply because they were all starting to crack. And the insides of the bowls were all peeling a bit -- so we were probably eating small shards of plastic with our meals. And the were showing stains pretty bad. (Darn those red sauces!)

Well, I've had my new Pyrex glass storage bowls for a couple months now, and I'm SOOOO glad I made the switch!

Here's why...

I was watching too much late-night TV one night, and my channel surfing cost me about $19.95 this go around.

Luckily, I didn't have any buyer's remorse over this little purchase:
Quik Top lids!

 

McDonald's & Wendy's Salads (...From The Drive-Thru)

| Comments (5)

All I've gotta say is... Wow, fast-food drive-thru's are FAST these days!

I don't go to the drive-thru much. Fast grease food restaurants just aren't really my thing anymore.

Kinda reminds me of a sign I saw when driving past a Hooter's in Florida.

It read: "Fresh Grease Thursday!"

...Also reminds me of a Bud Light Real Men of Genius ad -- because I can never decide on what to order at a fast-food restaurant. It's all pretty much the same to me.

However, Jim was out of town this past week, and I found myself craving the convenience of fast-food restaurants for a change.

 

How To Choose A Blender: Why Cuisinart Blenders Top The List

| Comments (6)

A couple of half-empty Strawberry Smoothie glasses. We drink a lot of smoothies. (I've posted my popular Strawberry Smoothie recipe here before.) And after Mike's recent visit when he re-introduced us to Strawberry Daiquiris and martinis during our little "party on the porch", we realized that our old Oster blender was shot.

So, I set out to find a new Blender.

If you're like me, you probably find it ridiculous to pay more than $20 for something that simply crunches ice (oh okay, and a few other things...) but take it from me, if ice-crunching is your aim, then a Blender is your game!

Do you know what to look for in a Blender? What about the differences between a Blender and a Food Processor? Which are the BEST Blenders? Where can you find reviews on Blenders?

| Comments (5)

I've noticed that lots of people are finding their way to our site after searching for something about Lambert's Cafe (we currently have two photos in our photo gallery about this unique dining establishment).

Which reminded me that I also took this crazy photo the last time we went to Lambert's Cafe in Foley, Alabama:
