Hi Ben,
RH> Have you eaten there? I know you do a lot (are you totally) of
RH> vegetarian, does this place have options like cheese schnitzel?
BC> I haven't eaten there for decades. I took a quick peek at their
BC> online menu and it doesn't have a single vegetarian main dish. :>
Nice to know it has been around for so long. It's one that we would
enjoy but not take you to.
RH> German chocolate cake is a medium brown in color with a
RH> coconut/pecan filling and frosting. Black Forest cake is much darker,
RH> has cherrys, whipped cream and chocolate shavings. True BF cake is also
RH> made with kirschewasser (cherry brandy).
BC> My version of impulse control is supply side. I never buy dessert and
BC> rarely cook it. But if someone offers it to me, then it's fair game!
BC> I'd eat either cake, if offered to me. I'd probably prefer the GCC
BC> over the BFC.
We usually don't buy it when eating out but the BF cake and apple
strudel both looked appealing. I went to use the lady's room, leaving
Steve to order one or the other to go. When I got back, he showed me
the box, opened it slightly and then closed it so I only got a couple of
second's look at it. Got back home (to daughter's) and were putting
leftovers in the camper fridge when he opened the box again & I realised
he'd ordered the wrong thing.
As for dessert at home, it's usually fruit or a cookie but sometimes
I'll get ambitious and make a pie or cobbler. Those are usually made for
pot lucks tho, and if we have left overs, we'll take them home and
finish. Ice cream is a good dessert, especially this time of year and we
will visit a small shop where the owner makes everything, even his
flavorings, from scratch in small amounts.
BC> A few days ago i made a huge batch of veggie burgers from scratch and
BC> French fries in the nuker & frying pan. I also made ketchup out of
BC> tomato paste, cider vinegar, and coconut sugar. Today i got a batch
BC> of lentil soup started in the crockpot. Quite satisfactory but
BC> nothing to brag about.
As long as it filled you and tasted good, it served the purpose. We're
in the first days of a major hot spell so I'm thinking of what can go on
the grill or in the microwave and goes with a tossed salad.
BC> Random question: Have you ever used a computer with punched tape?
No, but back in the mid 70s I used key punch cards to enter survey data
into a computer. My Population Problems class (sociology) had done a
survery of about 1/4 of the campus population and we co-olated the data
that way. I used some of the data for a paper for my Social Psychology
(psychology) class. (I was a sociology major, psychology and art
minors.)
