Hi Ruth,
I'm back................after about 2 weeks of no Fido. Don't know why but it was most frustrating.
Ugh.. Since i don't run my own BBS, if that happened to me, i'd just hop
over to a different BBS and use it instead.
A Whataburger just opened up this past Tnursday in town, lines were out
the door. We stopped in on Saturday night, had to wait about 15 minutes before we got inside, then placed our to go order and had to wait another 20 mnutes or so before it was ready. Took it home--I ordered a junior with no mustard and onion rings. Burger came out--a regular size patty on a generic hamburger bun with tomato, chopped onions and 3/4 wilted (still
had a small section of crunch) lettuce. Steve got the patty melt (2
burgers with cheese, not sure what else on bread) and onion rings. This will not be a regular stop for us; we were much less than impressed with the meal.
Bummer on that fats food experience. Last year my cousin took me to
In-N-Out Burger for my first time. I liked that the place was clean and
had wide windows so i could watch them working in the kitchen while we
were in the drive-through. To me it seemed high priced. The food was
fine, but nothing to write home about. They always have big lines, so
they must be doing something right.
Tomorrow i plan to go to a Thai place with my cousin. I haven't totally decided yet what i want to get.
