Good Wednesday Morning everybody!

On September 7, 1813 in an upstate New York newspaper called the Troy Post the phrase “Uncle Sam” was first used. No one is totally sure how this phrase came to be, but it is believed to come from two different references combined into one. One to the “US” that is stamped on all government property, the other to a local army supply inspector, Uncle Sam Wilson.

Our specials today are “Sloppy Joes (Beef or Veggie); Sides of Onions & Cheese, fries
Also today we have Jambalaya; Chicken, Sausage & Shrimp in a Jambalaya sauce served over Pasta.

Our soups today are Creamy Chicken Tortilla and French Onion (V).

Good Monday Morning Everyone,

Moral Panic? Ever heard of it? The “Cell Phone” causes cancer, “Facebook” and other social networking tools are destroying our children, and there is an “Information Overload” which will desensitize us all.

Well Moral Panic is nothing new. Socrates warned against “writing” because it would “create forgetfulness” due to the lack memorizing stories (not). In the 15th Century, with the invention of the printing press, there was a fear that the availability of books would create a society of socially isolated and distracted individuals because they would abandon the practice of listening to stories from a public pulpit (not). In the 19th century, when bicycles were first introduced in America, some warned that the new mode of transportation would cause bodily harm. The most severe of these ailments was “bicycle face,” which antibicyclists claimed was produced by excessive worry over maintaining balance while riding a bike (not). In the 1880’s the introduction of the phonograph player was going to destroy live concerts (not). When electricity came to America there was an initial pushback against electrifying homes, because some said, “If you electrify homes you will make women and children vulnerable. They claimed predators would be able to tell if they are home because the lights were on, and they will be able to see them” (not). In the 1970’s the VCR was supposed to kill Television (not).And in the 1980’s pirated “Basic” was supposed to devastate software development (not).

Even Socrates got it wrong. So instead of spending our lives worrying about what might happen, we should live our lives making things happen!

Our Specials today are “2 Empanadas (Beef, Chicken, or Spinach) served with French Fries, Salad, and Chimichurri Sauce” and “Honey Stung Fried Chicken, served with Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, and Veggies.”

Our Soups today are, “Chicken with Tortellini” and “Creamy Carrot & Ginger (V).”

Have a Moral Panic Free Monday!

Thanks,

Good Fun Friday Morning Everyone,

On this date, 91 years ago, The United States ratified the 19th Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment prohibits voting booth discrimination on the basis of sex; allowing women in the United States to vote. In 1974, Congress designated this day as “Women’s Equality Day.” I have a hard time believing there were any women in the 70’s that needed Congress to tell them they had equality. And really, did Congress pass a law dedicating “only” 1 day as “Women’s Equality Day”? The Congress of the 70’s was either filled with a bunch of comedians or a bunch of single men. Anyway, good job ladies, and fun with “Equality Day.”

Our Specials today are “Spaghetti & Beef or Veggie Meatballs, served with Garlic Bread” and an “Irish Turkey Reuben Sandwich (Sliced Turkey on Rye Bread with Sauerkraut, Swiss Cheese, & Thousand Island Dressing) served with Potato Skins, and Glazed Carrots.”

Our Soups today are, “Chicken Matzo Ball” and “Veggie Minestrone (V).”

Have a Fun Friday!

Thanks,

Lisa & Jim

Tada!

Good Thursday Morning All,

“Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That’s relativity.”

With that said so perfectly by Albert Einstein, we’d like to congratulate Travis & Leah on their upcoming marriage this Saturday. It has been a great privilege getting to know the both of you over the last 2 1/2 years. We’d like to offer you this prayer for your life together, “May the sun shine on you all day long, everything always go right and never wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true!”

Our Specials today are “Pappas Fajitas (Beef, Chicken, or Veggie) Con Tada – Fajitas of your choice combined with French Fries, with sides of Rice and Flour Tortilla’s” and the “Hamburger Bar (Beef, Turkey, or Veggie) with French Fries, Salad, Chili, Cheeses, Guacamole, and all the Burger Fixin’s.”

Our Soups today are, “Chicken Noodle” and “Cream of Mushroom (V).”

Have a Terrific Thursday!

Thanks,

Lisa & Jim

Tada!

Good Wednesday Morning Everyone,

On this date in 1853, George Crum, a chef at the Moon Lake Lodge resort in Saratoga Springs, New York, invented the Potato Chip. French fries were popular at the resort restaurant and one day a diner complained that the fries were too thick. Although Crum made a thinner batch, the customer was still unsatisfied. Annoyed with the extremely fussy customer, Crum purposely made fries that were too thin to eat with a fork, hoping to get back at the customer. But, surprisingly, the customer loved the thin potatoes – and the potato chip was invented! Crum called the fried potato slices Saratoga Chips. They were soon packaged and sold in New England – Crum later opened his own restaurant. In the 1920s, a salesman named Herman Lay sold potato chips from the trunk of his car in the South. In 1926, Laura Scudder (who owned a potato chip factory in Monterey Park, California) invented a wax paper potato chip bag to keep the chips fresh and crunchy – this made the potato chip what know today.

Our Specials today are “Korean Tacos (2) Beef, Chicken, or Veggie served with Rice and Salad” and “Fish & Chips, served with Coleslaw, Tarter Sauce, and a Lemon Slice.”

Our Soups today are, “Creamy Chicken Tortilla” and “Hungarian Vegetable (V).”

Have a Wonderful Wednesday!

Lisa & Jim
