Im so tired of bad service.....
Comments (26)The other night we went to the local pizza place and the couple we were with ordered garlic rolls. My husband and I have never once in 4 yrs had a good garlic roll from this place, they microwave the rolls before bringing them out which as you know, makes them very tough and chewy. Not good. And more times than not, they've been microwaved beforehand and then brought to our table cold. So we don't order them anymore. But since this particular couple did order them, we each had one and it was the same thing, tough, chewy yucky. So I said to the waitress, who had a really funny personality, witty, fun, joking with us..... I said, "I'd love to come teach them how to make a good garlic roll" so she said, "Can you be here at 9:30 tomorrow morning?" I said, "Sure!"...... I knew she was joking - she knew I was joking. Well, minutes later the manager was at our table all in a huff because I didnt' like his garlic rolls. So I was honest and told him it was true, I really didn't. He said his restaurant is "known" for their garlic rolls and I was the only one who didnt like them. Ummmmm everyone I've spoken to that's eaten there HATES their garlic rolls. So I dont know what he's talking about. Anyway he admitted that they do nuke the rolls before bringing them out to the tables. He also admitted that he hates nuked bread too but that is how they do it. I was embarrassed because I never intended to insult the manager and I was a little PO'd w/our waitress for sending him over. If I wanted to complain to the manager I would have asked that he be sent over. It was obvious that he has no plans to change how they re-heat their rolls....See MoreI am so tired of Thanksgiving!
Comments (62)Here's some suggestions from today's Baltimore Sun, from Elizabeth Large, some more realistic than others. Top 10 Alternatives to a Traditional Thanksgiving Roast Turkey Obviously anything could be an alternative to a traditional roast turkey for Thanksgiving, from a ribeye steak to a deep fried turkey. But I wanted to pick foods you know would work (because of their association with native Americans, for instance) or that I've actually served or had served to me. By the way, I'm cooking this year and I'm having a traditional roast turkey dinner. I was just talking to my brother, who's coming from the West Coast, and he says he's bringing some interesting recipes he got from Sunset magazine. He's talking about adding Swiss chard to the stuffing. Sorry. No way. Here's my list: ... * Wild duck with sauerkraut (particularly appropriate because Baltimoreans eat sauerkraut with Thanksgiving dinner anyway, which I've never understood) * Goose with fruit stuffing. Unfortunately the one time I cooked a wild goose (a hunter friend had brought it to my in-laws), it also contained buckshot. * Native American foods like beans, squash and corn for vegetarians and vegans * Turducken (partially deboned turkey stuffed with deboned chicken stuffed with deboned duck) * Small roast chicken with cornbread-pecan stuffing for a couple or people eating alone * I make a very good stuffed ham (with a bread stuffing where the bone would be). I haven't tried it for Thanksgiving, but I think it would be an easy make-in-advance choice that would taste good with traditional sides. * An old college friend invited us to Thanksgiving once and served each of us a whole lobster. Lobster didn't go very well with the side dishes the rest of us had brought, but it was so wonderfully extravagant no one was complaining. * My sister-in-law, using recipes from Gourmet magazine, served curried turkey breast with cranberry chutney one Thanksgiving. Her family was outraged, but it sounded kind of good to me for a change. * In some places on the West Coast, Dungeness crab is a common alternative to turkey because the season starts in November. * Crown roast of pork with wild rice stuffing. Pork has a autumn feeling to it (I would never serve it for Christmas dinner even though I know it can be traditional), and the fact that it's a crown roast makes it seem grand enough for an important meal....See MoreTell me if I am wrong!

Comments (10)My motto is "Always leave a p**ing male alone", including DH. And secondly, I am jealous that they can and I can't. I was once in Israel's great southern desert, the Negev, traveling by car with a girlfriend, and we had to go. So we stopped the car and hiked behind a tiny hill with a tiny bush on it. An oncoming truck squealed to a stop and the driver got out, carrying a rifle. He screamed at us "You crazy women, don't you know that there are Bedouin men around here? Next time, hold it in!" Then he stood there with his rifle until we finished, adjusted ourselves, and slinked back to our car embarrassed as heck....See MoreSo Tired of All the Mistakes - Not Loving my New Kitchen - HELP
Comments (24)The cabinets have a fair amount of variation, but having stained a fair amount of wood with a lot of preparation, I can tell you that sometimes that is in the wood you have chosen and difficult to compensate for. I don't know what you chose, what you were expecting or what you were told you could expect -- or whether the wood choice might be one that will deepen over time. Whatever it is, I see it, but it looks like wood variation and doesn't bother me in the photos. The main thing I'm seeing is the pendants. I love the fixtures. Seeing one was great, but I wondered what else was happening -- then I scrolled down and saw four. Even though I love the fixture itself, when looking at the kitchen as a whole, my eye keeps being pulled up to these white and lots of lines spots and it becomes very distracting. Maybe they can be dropped down a bit so you see them more against the cabinets and not the ceiling. Or maybe paint the ceiling? Or maybe it's not an issue in the room -- just something to think about. I think painting a color or paneling the back of the island might be a good idea. To me, the glass tile looks good. I thought is was the floor tile that was too close and yet not a match to the cabinets. Then I looked at just the cabinets and floor -- maybe Kayl is right -- it's the fact that you have cool tones in the glass tile and everything else is warm. I like that green glass, so I'd be hesitant to change it, especially before seeing how everything comes together. That's something you might be able to accessorize to help balance everything. Worst case, the splash is easier to change once everything is done than most elements. Keep in mind that my comments are looking for issues because you brought it up. My first reaction was not one of horror. You still have a kitchen most folks would be thrilled with. During installation, we look at every detail with a critical eye and not as we will when we are living in the room. Some of the things that look awful in the rough look great when it is all put together (often an issue with tile in progress). I'd have someone look at your concerns in person so you eliminate things like camera and monitor issues. Accessories, even light bulb changes, can help you pull the things you love together. Think of it as needing some finishing detailing -- not a lot of major mistakes....See Morearkansas girl
