I don't know what to say about Drew anymore. He's batting .158 and in May he's at .144. They can't continue like this because you might as well just have the pitcher bat. I honestly change the channel when he comes to bat.
 
Right now I'd take a hot dog & a bag of chips for Drew.
 
Here in NY I still love those dirty water dogs that are sold on the corners of Manhattan. And if all else fails you always have Nathan's.

I'd give him away, but it would be nice to have another SP......Niese wouldn't be my 1st or 4th choice, but I'd take the deal in a NY minute........

7/11 Dogs here in Florida are actually pretty good.

Out West here, those "gut bombers", at AM/PM or ARCO, are actually pretty good, and inexpensive. Plus they only serve Oscar Mayer dogs, not a bad brand at all, one of my favorites, OM.......!

59, do you know if the place on Perry's Main East West Avenue, where they sold the best damned Peach Smoothies, I have ever enjoyed. (located in b/t the McDonalds, and Burger King, or Waffle House and Wendys). Wondering if that place is still open. I'd bet it is, based on how damned good those peaches, other fruit and produce, and If I'm not mistaken, they sold a bunch of other stuff, of which I cannot recall. Hell its been 18 yrs since I lived in Perry.

NTM- they always had a line of peeps waiting for those smoothies......

The "Sonnys" BBQ in Warner Robbins, was my favorite restaurant in that town. All you can eat Hickory smoked BBQ, chicken, pork, or beef, and Spare Rib Racks......

Why they never franchised out West here behooves me. Same with the Cracker Barrel. The Closest one is in Phoenix, 8 hours away......damn near worth the drive, damn near........
 
...matts, I don't recall the place that sells smoothies...bit Sonny's and Cracker Barrel is always good !

Sorry Steve but I draw the line on shit. especially while its still steaming. but yeah, I feel bad for the guy because he's still young & will probably never be offered a contract anywhere again, he really needs to go.

Thanks for the feedback 59......the Peach Smoothie place was a tiny shack like store, being seasonal more or less of a Farmers produce stand, with a couple of other specialties, (smoothies, homeade candies, jams, knick knacks, et al.)

It's nice to speak with another, whose experienced those great eateries/places....Like yourself if I'm correct; (& If not correct me), both being ex cooks in our early years, I've long wondered/contemplating, what it would be like to have either Sonnys or the Cracker Barrel stores out here. IMO, I think both would blow peoples minds and palettes, on the West Coast. Flying potential applicants into Macon, to give a tour of the Pery Facilities, always included a trip to both Sonnys and The Cracker Barrel, as well as the Peach Smoothie stand......:breakfast: :chef: :meat: :eatveggies:

Not sure why neither is NOT out West here, or what the Franchise Fee/Loan was/is for either; & imagine both are extremely expensive......
 
...hmmmm...I didn't know y'all did have Cracker Barrels out West...I thought their franchises were nation-wide. But I love their food because it's all "home-style" type country country cooking like Mom and Grand Ma used to make. One thing they offer that I've never seen on any menu at any other restaurant is something my Mom used to make...good ole bread pudding...with lot of raisins and cinnamon and sugar...man, I can eat my weight in that stuff.

Well, I'll change it from a steaming pile of dog crap to a steaming pile of cow crap... cow crap can at least be used as fertilizer...

This place (West Coast or LA) would die for a Cracker Barrel IMO. Like you said, "Home-Style country meals, like Mom and Grandma" made.....

Yep, I think it would go over BIG here. It stuns me, that Cracker Barrel hasn't taken advantage of a huge market out here.......I haven't looked in about a year, at their locations maps (of stores), but last time I did look the closest one is in Phoenix......

BREAD PUDDING, oh shit, I too love it....I used to work for a Diner, prior to Aerospace, and one constant Desert, made daily was just that: "Bread Pudding", one of my favs as well, and I too can eat my weight in BP.

I've made 3 Birthday cakes this month alone (month of May), now I need to make some homeade bread pudding. I've always used real unsalted Butter, and Half & Half, amongst all the other ingredients.....(and of course Raisins, Cinnamon, tons of eggs, et al).......:breakfast::smiley-sun::tiphat:
 
...lemme know how the bread pudding works out matts....I may have to get your recipe...(I do ALL the cooking around here)I think that's how my Son first got interested in cooking...he used to help me out in the kitchen)...now he's a highly regarded Chef in these parts.

...and yes, REAL butter is a must...I use it in just about everything...I'm making home made shepherd's pie tonight...with REAL cracklin' cornbread.

Fkn A......Our taste buds are quit similar, not much more I like as good as Shepherd's Pie, other than Chicken Fried Steak, Meat Loaf (with a kick), Fried Chicken, Okra, Black Eyed Peas, Greens of any sort........Homeade Buttermilk Biscuits and Sausage/Bacon Gravy........

I will send you my recipe for Bread Pudding......Give me a week or so....as I have never written down, any of His great recipes, which still remains only in this head of mine. Even the Owner of that Diner, passed away without having written down one of his recipes. Thankfully it is in this head, along with His Homeade (everything was homeade) Chicken Pot Pies.....and a ton of other recipes.....

I will make a batch this weekend, and write down how much of a pinch, a dash, & dab of this and that; I actually use.....
No problem tho'.......

I've also got one helluva Sweet Potato-Pecan Pie recipe. The Sweet Potato pie filling goes into the pan & dough 1st, followed by the Pecan Pie filling......I made this in Perry, for Thanksgiving, and Xmas Pot Luck Dinners at work. I've never had so many people come up to me, to ask, if I made those Pies, and complimented me on them, I knew I hit a gold mine with that Pie and those Good Southern Folks........
 
Novel time again, sorry 59......

I should add: the Diner I refer too, is named "Crazy Otto's", a long time regional pioneer: Otto Linsel, born to German/Swiss Parents, He began in business, by building a Hotel, Restaurant,** with a few kids rides, in Big Bear, near the Ski Slopes.

He sold what was known as **Santa Claus Lane; took his outrageous small fortune, to Coos Bay Oregon, bought an old Wooden Clipper ship; converted the Ship to a Seafood and Steak Restaurant....After 14 years of continued success, he sold the Ship & business, took his profits to Ketchikan, Alaska, & Opened a Diner, where he made the biggest Omelet's I have ever seen or ate, along with an outrageous heaping of Hash Browns, et al.....Every Meal was served on 14" platters...... (see ***1)

Brought His Lumber Jack menu back home here, where His family was, and made another fortune here....everything that great man touched turned gold, metaphorically speaking.....!

***1- Otto explanation of why his meals were so hearty and huge, as He mainly cooked for Lumberjacks (literally), Crab & Lobster Fishermen, Oil Pipeline Workers, and Dog Sled Mushers......only way to get to the Diner in Winter, was by boat to its pier, or overland, via Snow Mobiles, 4 WD Trucks with spike chains, & of course Dog Sleds......
 
I do like bread pudding, but the dessert I rarely get that I love (I rarely have any, but...) is Pineapple Upside-down Cake... that stuff is awesome...

Still love my dad's baklava and paradise pumpkin pie (my dad's recipe too actually) and my wife's apple pie are both amazing!
 
I am losing hoping for Rob Refsnyder by the day. However hopefully he puts together a streak. As it stands a 2B or SS would be the obvious focal point of a trade. Looking around the league at SS and 2B on shitty teams you have guys like Ben Zobrist, Martin Prado, Jean Segura, DJ LeMahieu, & Dee Gordon. I'd honestly take any of the 6. They've gotten away with Drew/Didi, they can't continue to carry 2 bats like that. One needs to be replaced sooner than later. Im not saying to break up the farm. Id make calls on the 5 guys above and take whoever can be had cheapest.

I haven't had baklava either in ages. I quit making Pumpkin pies, once I found a recipe for Sweet Potato Pies, which seem to have even more flavor than Pumpkin.....Yams can also be used in lieu of Sweet Potato, tho' its not quit the same, close but no cigar.........
