Yummy Stone Crab
I was watching the Food network the other day and they were talking about George Stone Crab in Florida. These great big crab claws looked so good! But when am I going to be in Florida? Guess what? They deliver anywhere in the good ole USA. Gotta get me some stone crab claws. One of…

The Marvelous Marvel Ranch
We recently discovered a little restaurant in the middle of town called the Marvel Ranch. It is at 4th and Penn in downtown Reading. We have been driving by this place for twenty odd years and thought it was a closed down dive. Well it isn’t either of those things. The outside does present itself…

Boy Did I Call That One
As I said on the fourth I spent not only the day in bed but just about the entire weekend. If it weren’t for my friend pulling me out of thehouse on Saturday I would have spent the entire weekend in bed. Saturday we went to the Tiki Bar with my friend and her husband. We…

I’m Just a Little Black Rain Cloud Hovering Over the Honey Tree
I love Pooh Bear. He’s all stuffed with fluff, you know? I really thought the black cloud hanging over me when going out to eat [which is not Pooh with a balloon] was slowly moving on, but it appears to have returned. A week ago we had dinner at the Red Lobster. It really was…

Where’s the Value in that Meal?
Value meals are known for their low costs and smaller quantities. The one restaurant that seemed to still give you a decent sized burger for your dollar was McDonald’s. Not any more. I ordered a double cheeseburger the other day and took six big bites before I ever hit meat. I pulled the bun off…

Don’t Invite Me For a Meal
Even when I have nothing to do with the ordering and delivering processes I can still ruin a good meal. All I was going to do was eat it. I was at a friend’s house for a Halloween party last night and the pizza was being delivered as I got there. Perhaps that is all…

The Restaurant Black Cloud Continues to Hover Over Me
The restaurant issues continue. This time we are back to Applebees, but a different one than before. This time it was a take out order for all of us at work. We have ordered from them before and have had problems from them before as well. This time they let us order something that was…

More Bad Food Karma
My bad luck with food continues. It even extends to my cats now! Yesterday I came home with my cat’s favorite treat, Whole Life Salmon. But when I went to give him some the treats were not the same quality as the last time I bought a bag. They were thin and had the fish…

Pizza Zone Not in the Zone
I don’t know what it is with me and restaurants, but I am always having problems with them. Maybe I am just too picky, but I don’t think that’s the case. Don’t get me wrong I am picky. Food has to be good and what I ordered. But above all I am a stickler for…

Value Meal or McDonalds Rip-Off Scheme
Consider this a fair warning to always watch what is going on as you place your orders through the McDonald’s drive thru. Tonight I ran through the Mickey D’s drive thru to pick up a quick dinner for myself and a friend. Wanting it to be cheap and/or inexpensive I was specifically ordering from the…

Bad Time Equals Good Times
You might wonder how that can be, but sometimes something is just so awful that it becomes laughable. That was the case when we visited the restaurant On The Border in Exton last night. Let me start at the beginning. We arrived and were promptly taken to our table. Nothing wrong there. Well that was…
