breakfast, but I don't remember the names except
for Donna's, which was fun, about a mile from
your hotel.

I think I've heard of that place but I think it's closed by the time I

get off

Donna's is a morning place, but I survived
breakfast on hash and pie. The food is not bad
at all, but the help can be pretty crusty.

work. There is a Cracker Barrel that's a few miles east of the hotel

(I ate

at CB then; it's at the Lycoming Mall IIRC). I saw a Bob Evans on the

way up

there but IIRC it's a good distance from Williamsport.

As some of us have said, CB has slid quite far over
the years. Bob Evans might be on that route, since
it's been taken over by the Red Lobster people.

The last Bob Evans I saw was in Shamokin Dam, but
we didn't eat there, because we were on our way to
Skeeter's BBQ, up on the hill overlooking the river,
where the food was pretty decent, but I'm told can
be variable.

The Stream has gotten some hard use, most
recently by a friend dropping my carryon on
the floor from a substantial height. I'm
hoping it does okay for a good while longer.

Ouch. The Lenovo Chromebook I have is a "hardened" version. It's a

good bit

thicker and heavier than a standard Chromebook.

This thing is still working like a mini-percheron.

Again, no need to stress about recipes or lack
of same. Reporting on your meals is for me at
least more pleasing to see than some random
recipe from nowhere.

I don't get out too much to new places to eat. I'm too much of a

creature of

habit though Tupelo Honey Cafe would be somewhere I'd go on a date or

taking

my parents out to dinner. Just for me alone I'd not bother to spend

that much

money. But that salmon dish was pretty darn tasty and had just the right amount of warmth for me and my health these days.

One should get out once in a while for one's
mental health. I'm a creature of extremes, so
there have been many months running when I've not
gone out to eat followed by months of going out
for every meal (especially during my travels) -
toward the end of those periods, when money has
gotten tight, I've often ended up eating one meal
a day, sometimes less.

Some good news: the change in jobs has helped me. As of May 14, my A1C

Hi Michael,

The last Bob Evans I saw was in Shamokin Dam, but

That's the one we ate at some years ago with Steve's parents when we
were in town for a memorial service over in McClure. Steve's
siblings/spouses went to Hoss's but we walked over to BE from the motel.

we didn't eat there, because we were on our way to
Skeeter's BBQ, up on the hill overlooking the river,
where the food was pretty decent, but I'm told can
be variable.

Steve and I have had a basic lunch there a couple of times. Good, not
great, but better than some places we've had bbq.

Probably built like one too. I prefer a lighter weight net book size as
I usually carry it (when travelling) in a shoulder bag. It's also easier
to carry around at home. (G)

Sometimes just the fun of trying a new place and "rating" it is a big
factor in the mental health hit.

We go out sometimes "just because", on the road sometimes for a quick
meal and other times for a special occaision. Yesterday we had to pick
up some things at Home Depot for a project Steve was doing for Deborah,
stopped at C-F-A for lunch. Late afternoon the suggestion was made that
we go to a Mexican place for supper, so we did. It was good, large
enough servings that we brought half of it back for lunch.

low dose statin which probably helps keep things in line.

Agreed, every little change for the better will make you better. Most of
the time when we're eating out, I ask for water with lemon. At home it's regular (reverse osmosis filtered) water--we have a unit in our kitchen sink--or sometimes sparkling water.
