I HAVE TO QUIT WATCHING THE FOOD CHANNEL

Good Morning Speakies:

Another Happy Hump Day to you all unless you are retired and don’t care. Hope I find you all fine and with smiles on your faces. The weather in Central Florida has been sunny and hot with highs in the 90’s. For the next few days those coming to visit can expect highs in the upper 80’s with thunderstorms likely throughout the weekend. No threats yet on any oil spill reaching the coast but they are following it closely down here.

My blog buddy Mack posted a couple of pictures and I had to show them to you. One is of a Tomato Pie coming out of the oven at DeLorenzo’s and the other is a famous Rossi’s Cheeseburger. If you ever visit Trenton, NJ you have to try both places and enjoy their fare. Thanks Mack for allowing me to use your pictures and if any of my readers are from the Trenton, NJ area or Philly area Mack has a lot of sites on his blog that are of interest. His blog is: http://mackstruckofwisdom.blogspot.com/ so check it out.

My BW Roe was driving in the Longwood, Florida area the other day and spotted a Polish restaurant and down the road a bit a German Bar and Grill. Now being Polish my mind was passing along the smell and taste of stuffed cabbage to my inners and maybe a little taste of pierogi’s with cheese, sauerkraut and some filled with meat. My dear granny bless her soul made the best homemade pierogi smothered in butter and onions. If we make it up there you Speakies will be the first to get my review. For the German restaurant my choice for lunch or dinner would have to be sauerbraten with red cabbage and potatoes of some sort. Good fried potatoes would be my choice if available. As soon as we try it, I'll let you know.

A few holidays today to raise our glasses to today:

Cinco de Mayo – That great Mexican celebration everyone in the US gets drunk and eats Tex-Mex food.

Totally Chipotle Day – Coincides with Cinco de Mayo to honor the uniquely Mexican heritage of the chipotle pepper. Chipotles are a very popular kind of smoke-dried jalapeño peppers that are found quite frequently in Mexican and Mexican-American cuisine.

Great American Grump Out – For those of you learning about the Grump Out for the first time, the Grump Out urges people to go for just 24 hours without being grumpy, crabby or rude. So Guys and Dolls get with the program.

Cartoonists Day – Honors all those funny paper guys and gals.

I leave you now with another proverb: “Every maybe has a wife called Maybe-Not.” Enjoy your day and evening and be careful out there.
