Yes, I'm behind. Have a filler post filled with awesome links.
1. I'm a vegetarian. We can get into the ethics another time. More importantly, here are my favorite recipes:
- Ratatouille: This is amazing. I've made it three or four times and is always delicious.
- French Onion Soup: For Cold weather
- Garlic Soup: Will put you right to sleep
- The best bread
- This is my favorite combination to put on top of pesto covered pasta.
2. I have ASMR. No, it's not really proven, but I have no other way of explaining what happens to me when I hit these triggers:
- Having my hair played with
- Watching other people have their hair checked, as for lice.
- Watching or hearing descriptions of careful, thorough medical exams
- Careful fitting together of pieces or parts
3. I love Italian music (and yes, I speak Italian). Go listen to:
- Il Volo
- Antonello Venditti (this song inspired the URL for my previous blog)
- Blu
- Claudio Balgioni
- Laura Pausini

Set in Japan during the 1870s, The Last Samurai tells the story of Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise), a respected American military officer hired by the Emperor of Japan to train the country's first army in the art of modern warfare. As the Emperor attempts to eradicate the ancient Imperial Samurai warriors in preparation for more Westernized and trade-friendly government policie Similar Items: Braveheart [Blu-ray Steelbook] Gladiator [Blu-ray] The Patriot (Extended Cut) [Blu-ray] Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut) [Blu-ray] The Last of the Mohicans: Director's Definitive Cut [Blu-ray] Editorial Reviews: SynopsisLast Samurai, The (BD) Amazon.comWhile Japan undergoes tumultuous transition to a more Westernized society in 1876-77, The Last Samurai gives epic sweep to an intimate story of cultures at a crossroads. In America, tormented Civil War veteran Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is coerced by a mercenary officer (Tony Goldwyn) to train the Japanese Emperor's troops in the use of modern weaponry. Opposing this "progress" is a rebellion of samurai warriors, holding fast to their traditions of honor despite strategic disadvantage. As a captive of the samurai leader (Ken Watanabe), Algren learns, appreciates, and adopts the samurai code, switching sides for a climactic battle that will put everyone's honor to the ultimate test. All of which makes director Edward Zwick's noble epic eminently worthwhile, even if its Hollywood trappings (including an all-too-conventional ending) prevent it from being the masterpiece that Zwick and screenwriter John Logan clearly wanted it to be. Instead, The Last Samurai is an elegant mainstream adventure, impressive in all aspects of its production. It may not engage the emotions as effectively as Logan's script for Gladiator, but like Cruise's character, it finds its own quality of honor. --Jeff Shannon CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

Kentucky State Police say someone may have spotted the car involved in a Rockcastle County robbery overnight.
Investigators say a Rockcastle County dispatcher got a tip that the robber could be in Franklin County. The tipster said that they spotted a silver PT Cruiser, similar to the one seen leaving the robbery scene, in the area.
On Monday afternoon, Norma Cummins and her daughter Becky filled a prescription for poison ivy at the Rite Aid pharmacy just off I-75. The next stop was McDonald's for an ice cream cone. But Cummins says someone likely followed her from the pharmacy to the restaurant looking for drugs and money.
"This lady came up and wanted directions to Somerset. So I was giving her directions and she started saying she wanted the purse. She held up her blouse and she said, 'Don't make me hurt you', and she had a gun there," Cummins said.
When the suspect realized the medicine was topical cream, she demanded Cummins' wallet.
Police say that they have surveilance video of the thief driving away in a silver PT Cruiser. They are looking for a woman 30 to 40-years-old with short curly blond hair.
The search for the suspect in Franklin County has not turned up anything so far.
If you have any information, call Mount Vernon Police at (606 )256-5372.

Friday November 22 sees the 50th anniversary of the deaths of at least three world famous men. One was, of course, John F Kennedy; another was Aldous Huxley, but the man who concerns us on The God Slot is the poet, essayist, literary critic, academic and novelist CS Lewis. We'll be joined by Lewis' stepson, Douglas Gresham, and the Rector of Christ Church, Bray, the Rev. Baden Stanley, to discuss the Christian symbolism in his work, but let's not forget that the Narnia novels were written for children, and to discuss them in that light we'll also be joined by ...http://www.rte.ie/radio1/the-god-slot/programmes/2013/1122/488517-the-god-slot-friday-22-november-2013/?clipid=1361591

Another perfect day, faced with the same old old
Repetition, redundant, same old same old
Typical spontaneous chaos
Lack of control insanity,
ADHD hyperactivity
Zero focus on the everyday mundane
Typical, ordinary usual crazy
Waking up to find it's all the same old same old
Typical spontaneous chaos
Neverending, I'm depending on you
It's another beautiful day, with your same old same old
The dishes keep piling day after day,
No matter how many times I wish them away
The same old clothes, scattered along the floor
Every day there's more and more
I fear there's a danger in my coming down with dejavu
Isn't it funny how even amongst boredom there's still chaos?
I could see if life was happening, but nothing seems to be
Too numb to care, this house is so lonely
Lack of energy to do anything
Lying lazy on the couch,
Waiting for an ephiphany
When joy rides lose their fun,
You know you're desperate for the sun
I wanna be somebody's decoy,
Lure me into some danger
My adrenaline can't get enough,
Sombeody's crazy
Roller coasters just aren't enough,
Wanna try falling with style off an open hill in the big blue sky
Let's blow this town up,
Wanna deface everything in my path
Feels a little bit like wonderful
But every day seems to be the same as before
Same old typical spontaneous chaos running through these veins
Never seen an addict quite so bad as this
Some things can't be tamed
Restless for adventure,
Stuck in repetition
Another beautiful glorious day in paradise
Inconceivable typical spontaneous chaos
The irony in this all is too much to bear,
Let alone put into worded thoughts
Drenched in this typical spontaneous chaos
You overwhelm this dysfunctional arrangement you do
Paradox is an understatement, couldn't label you better as who you are
Typical spontaneous chaos

What is the black spot on my gum from my wisdom teeth removal?
It has been well over a month since I had my wisdom teeth taken out. I just now noticed today that there is a small black covering on my gum where my bottom left wisdom tooth was removed. It is not sore at all. I also have good oral hygiene. I brush twice a day, and usually floss everyday or every other day. I also use mouthwash daily.
Is this just a scab from the old blood clot or is this something more serious. And remember, it has been about 2 months since my wisdom teeth were taken out.
EDIT: Ok, I went to my oral surgeon today and he just pulled it out. It was just a blood clot that my body was trying to get rid of, by pushing it out.
It is better for you to ask the dentist yourself. He or she will give you a thorough and detailed explanation of the black spot lying on your gum.

KUALA LUMPUR: It seems like Egypt's Raneem El Weleily is fast becoming a thorn in world No. 1 squash player Nicol David's side.
The second-seeded Egyptian dashed Nicol's hopes of winning a record 65th professional title with a stunning win over the Malaysian in the final of the Cleveland Classic in Ohio on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old Raneem beat defending champion Nicol 3-11, 11-5, 9-11, 11-5, 11-9 in an hour.
It was Raneem's second win over Nicol in 11 meetings.
The Egyptian also beat Nicol in the final of the Malaysian Open in September. She did avenge that defeat when she beat Raneem in the final of the US Open in November.
But she was no match for a determine Raneem this time.
World No. 2 Raneem was elated with her win over seven-time world champion Nicol.
"All my hard work in training is paying off ... I also proved that my win over Nicol in the Malaysian Open last year was no fluke.
"This win over Nicol has boosted my confidence to win more WSA titles," said the former world junior champion after bagging her sixth title since turning pro in 2003.
Nicol, however, had the consolation of being named the Women Squash Association (WSA) Heather McKay Player of the Year for the seventh consecutive time in her career.
The Malaysian won the award for winning seven tournaments last year, including her seventh world title in Cayman Islands.
The award is named after woman squash legend McKay, who was a dominant force on the tour in the 70s and 80s.

A depressing ripoff mistake
We live near Union Square. My daughter, age 12, and I decided to try TGI Friday's for a Saturday lunch, thinking it would be a fun and tasty nod to suburbia. Not so. $4 for tea. $17 for a sandwich. Lower quality and worse taste than any other place I can think of. It made McDonald's seem like a four-star restaurant, and McDonald's doesn't cost $26 per person. Never ever again.
But the waiter, Ray, was very nice.
TGI Friday's
34 Union Square E, New York, NY 10003
Had you ever eaten in one before? I'm kind of mystified about why you thought it would be tasty?
re: jmmantel
Hmm, never been to those, so I can't compare. I've been forced by circumstance to eat at a few TGIFs (in various 'burbs, in various states) and it's always been bad though I guess I didn't think worse than McDonald's...
re: MikeG
<Olive Garden and Applebee's aren't bad so.....>
Well, actually, they are. Too salty, too greasy, too expensive for what you get. I'd rather have peanut butter cheese crackers and a can of Yuengling than Olive Garden or Applebees. If I'm gonna eat lousy food, I wanna eat lousy food that doesn't pretend otherwise.
re: small h
Amen, small h! I'd just eat an apple or whatever until I could get somewhere with more promise. Or any unknown local diner, for that matter.
re: jmmantel
I've never been to Olive Garden but found Applebee's disgusting the one time I was taken there by a friend on the way back from a gig (it wasn't my choice and wasn't in Manhattan, and it was years ago).
re: jmmantel
I opt for starvation before going to either, throw in TGIF as well. I'll go out of my way to find the local guy who puts their heart and sole into the chow.
re: jmmantel
wow, that hasn't been my experience of either applebee's or olive garden. maybe you just got lucky with those. don't have a TGIF here any more, they closed about half of them nationwide (hint, hint) the ones here weren't terrible, not even bad. just not good, and yes, overpriced.
Stand Up...put the crappy chain menus down...move away from the table...take your daughter out of those restaurants ...view recommendations from other Manhattan Chowhounds...never go back to ANY of those places.
Welcome to CH, where people will teach you and your daughter the pleasures of eating and never having to return to Apples, TGs and OGs
re: pikawicca
$17 more than at Katz's or Carneggie Delis.
Now you know! The tuition is kind of high but the lesson is valid. If someone had told you to stay away, you'd always wonder. Nothing beats first hand knowledge.
Okay, kiddo, as jfood said, step away from the table. IMO, you're in food-nirvana. You have so much good and inexpensive food at your doorstep. When we're in NYC, we're like kids in a candy store. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to troll the Manhattan board and find all the fantastic food that's available to you. Enjoy the journey.
re: c oliver
This what I always tell my friends who live in NYC. Every so often I get these messages telling me that they are eating in Ruby Tuesdays and the Outback in NYC. I just want to cry.
re: c oliver
And the worst part is they have to pay NYC prices for something that costs $8-12 where I live!
I made the same mistake many years ago at a Red Lobster in Chicago. Those TV ads with the huge pink shrimp totally got me. My girlfriend was like, 'this is going to suck, but okay.' It was the expensive disappointment that I should have expected, and the saddest part of all was the tray of plastic desserts the waiter presented at the end of the meal. Ugh.
Red Lobster
5 Times Sq, New York, NY 10036
there's one on Union Sq East now???....ugh...on the positive side, i've felt better about my decision to sell my Union Sq loft (in 2007) than i do right now, knowing i narrowly escaped living in such close proximity to a TGIF... :)
For 26/person, you and your daughter could have actually gone to the tavern room at Gramercy Tavern and shared a couple tasty starters or maybe a cheese plate, then wandered to Madison Park and grabbed a couple Shake Shack burgers to take home :)
Gramercy Tavern
42 E 20th St, New York, NY 10003
Oh dear... I feel truly bad for you. In this great city of ours no one should have to eat at TGIFridays. Please post your likes and dislikes and we will be happy to help you find better places.
Saturday was a gorgeous day... would have been perfect for Shake Shack.
I am confused. Did you just move to Union Square? Or Nyc for that matter? Many chains in NYC are such tourist traps so please, for your sake, check in with Chowhound for some awesome lunch spots next time! ;-)
The cost of taking your 12-year-old daughter to TGIF doesn't end with the $26/person tab. There's the years of therapy that likely will follow ....
I live in Suburbia - there's nothing fun or tasty about it. I'd give my left arm to live near Union Square. You and your daughter need to pinky swear never to use the words "fun" or "tasty" in the same sentence as "suburbia" - EVER. I'm glad you ended that thought with "never again". Was Ray wearing a lot of flair?
re: jmmantel
you sound like a really good sport, JmMantel. good of you to let us get our foodsnob on :)
seriously though, these folks know what they are talking about and could point you and your daughter to some great places in your 'hood that will be better eats at a better price than any of the chains. stick around and try a few new restaurants, it'll be fun!
Yeah, pretty much every TGIFs I've been to (not many, as after the second or third time I've tried to avoid them whenever possible! Can't control other people, though! LOL) has had horrible food that was pretty much over-priced for what you get. I remember getting a cheesesteak in a suburban NJ location and wondering how the heck they managed to screw THAT one up! :o)
I got the impression that the OP isn't exactly a stranger to great food in NYC, just that he/she wanted to give TGIFs a try to see why it's so popular, and was disappointed that it was so popular due to this experience.
I don't see anywhere where jmmantel said that a restaurant recommendation was needed for the area or that he/she wasn't sure of where to get a good meal in such a minefield of fine dining as Manhattan.
re: yfunk3
You can throw a rock in Manhattan and find a better restaurant. It still puzzles me why places like Chili's, Applebee's and Olive Garden are always crowded in Manhattan (yeah, I get the tourist rube thing but isn't part of the experience of going to a new city to try something different?)
re: ferret
As alien as it is to me and most CHs, I'm bettin', there are actually people who come to NYC and care NOTHING about the food. Nothing. I know that's weird but I've heard the rumor :)
re: c oliver
I don't doubt it, but it's still a head-scratcher. I freely admit that while in Europe this summer I stopped into more than one McDonald's. Coke Light, Free Wifi and Air Conditioning.
re: c oliver
People always ask me what shows / exhibits / whathaveyous I plan on catching when in the city.... they are astonished when I tell them I have no such plans - I'm just there for the food.
re: linguafood
Yep. We're doing a house exchange in DC soon and I'm SO focused on the food. Always the same.
re: c oliver
Well.... we live to eat, after all. That includes, nay, emphasizes traveling for/to food!!
re: c oliver
that reminds me c oliver, there's a Ruby's on 7 at Chinatown in DC but only a handful of McD's and for the hard stuff (Taco Bell etc. ya gotta hit NY ave NE but I wouldn't do that without a car) otherwise it's the suburbs.
ladybug: god I was last dragged to TGIF extremely hungover by my parents and I could not even look at the server because of the 'flair', I was sure I'd turn into a pillar of salt or something.
cosmogrrl downstream: wow. in a city with so many great Italian places and I were the mom I would also be pantomiming thanks "god are you for real? Cheesecake is like sooo last week, sheesh nobody cool goes there anymore" not directly criticizing them, just letting them know what passes for hip in podunk mall town doesn't work here. but as a guy I prob. would have sort of directed it through the mother as in posing it "are they for real?"
I used to live along the California cable line (first Polk and Sacto, next Stockton and Pine 95-2000) and just held my tongue usually unless asked specifically.
re: hill food
It was the look on the Mom's face that made me volunteer info. I just couldn't let her suffer through that. Figured the teenagers would respond to "that is sooo not cool" line of thought. it was my good deed of the day.
re: cosmogrrl
it was a Mitzvah you did.
re: c oliver
Just now reading your post. I wonder how it went regarding your food experience in D.C.
re: linguafood
I wish they had a "like" button on this forum. Linguafood, your post made me smile big time. I can so see my world-traveler/borderline anorexic friend hearing me say that. Her eyes would glaze over, mouth would be open longer than polite, etc.- she'd be thinking "What? No museums?" and shorting out at the prospect.
re: EWSflash
I was recently visiting our decidedly non-chowish friend in Baltimore. While we were waiting at the bar to be seated for dinner & I mentioned where we planned on having lunch the next day (Chap's pit beef - I know you'd wanna know '-)), she said she couldn't believe I was talking about lunch before I was going to have dinner. And how boring food in general was.... I could've ripped her a new one, but the discussion is futile with her. So I just said that there are people who find tea incredibly interesting, about which I couldn't care less. Different strokes.
Hard to hang out with her sometimes, tho ....
re: linguafood
> she said she couldn't believe I was talking about lunch before I was going to have dinner
Well, what else would one talk about?
re: linguafood
What? Doesn't everyone plan their next meal while they are at the current one?
Just kidding...however it was always standard procedure for my best friend and I to do this during college. Now when she comes to visit we plan each meal before she comes.
re: ferret
not all tourists are Americans. Coming from other countries and not knowing that these are chains how would people know if they are not CHers?
re: smartie
True that, and also note that unfamiliar fast food can seem mighty exotic. On my first trip to Paris, I was very excited to eat at Hit Marine, the French sort-of equivalent to McDonald's (I think it's defunct). I was 20 and easily dazzled. But what a cool name for a restaurant.
re: ferret
Once on my way to work on a cable car (I live in SF on a cable car line it's convenient sometimes), I saw a woman with two teenaged girls. The teenagers were waxing on the merits of Cheesecake Factory to their mother, who go that tired, "oh no not this conversation again" look. I then proceeded explain to the girls that Cheesecake Factory was VERY uncool, and that they should really go to these other VERY cool places. Mom mouthed a big "Thank You" when they weren't looking to me.
I understand the curiosity though. Because I live in a place sans chains, I occasionally eat at a chain in suburbia. I'm almost always disappointed, but somehow I do it (maybe once every 3 years). I think it's the marketing, it gets to you. Also suburbia sometimes doesn't have a lot of choices.
re: cosmogrrl
A Cheesecake Factory just opened in Bridgewater NJ (about 25 minutes away from me) and EVERYBODY is talking about it. I lived in CA about 24 yrs ago and The Cheesecake Factory was ALREADY getting uncool out there.
re: flourgirl
Uncool? Maybe. But I live in the Bay Area and the ones I see (PA / SJ) are mobbed. As is the one in Arcadia when I visit family.
re: FattyDumplin
What can I tell you except that it doesn't say very much for the tastes of a whole lot of people in the Bay area.
re: flourgirl
I don't think it says anything. CF is fine for what it is. If you're on the go at San Jose mall and want a decent meal, it's a fine place to go. I wouldn't say anything is blow me away spectacular, but I don't find anything there offensive either.
re: ferret
My only comment to this thread is that I'm very doubtful that all the chain restaurants in NYC are only there for tourists. There are millions of people in NYC, and even if half of them are chowhounds, that's still a lot of people who are perfectly happy with chain food. After all, chains are successful because a lot of people like them!
re: Ruth Lafler
>chains are successful because a lot of people like them!
I'll have to look for a discussion on this topic. Why do I have such an aversion to chain restaurants? Is it because I have a magical belief that out there is a wonderful dive hidden in some wall?
re: GraydonCarter
With a chain you pretty much know what you're going to get, which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on what you *want* to get. I'm guessing that, like me, you're willing to risk the tradeoff that an unknown might be terrible because there's at least a possibility it might be wonderful, which a chain will never be.
Or to put it another way, some people value consistency and uniformity and some people value uniqueness.
re: Ruth Lafler
And then, there are some cases where you want one or the other. Yes, there are times when chains are appropriate.
re: Tripeler
Yes, there definitely are. Much as I'd like for them to, circumstances and logistics don't always make it possible to eschew a chain.
re: Ruth Lafler
Certainly agree. Generally, I avoid chains.
re: Ruth Lafler
Yup. I actually ate at a TGIF in NYC (In the empire state building). Was there for a business trip and arrived late. Tired, a little hungry and cranky, I just went in there because a) they were they were a) closest to my hotel b) they had booze c) had a bar I could eat at which I prefer when dining alone.
Of course i didn't feel ripped off because i knew what I was getting into, and also my company was paying for it.
Plus they had booze, did I mention that?
re: cosmogrrl
ha! I've had drinks at that one too - was about the only thing open within a few blocks and it was a Sunday night a few weeks after 9/11 so nobody was in a good mood or feeling like even bothering finding anything better.
Just half a block to the north is a Brother Jimmy's BBQ location.
Note that in that area, everyone's sandwich is more expensive than the suburbs.

At one time, it appears that Friday's was just another local place. From Wiki:
The Friday's restaurant chain was founded by Alan Stillman in 1965 in New York City, featuring standard American cuisine, bar food and alcoholic beverages. The restaurant was located at the corner of 63rd Street and First Avenue. The exterior featured a red-and-white striped awning and blue paint, and the interior included wooden floors, Bentwood chairs, striped tablecloths; the bar area added brass rails and stained glass. The employees were young and wore wacky uniforms, and every time someone had a birthday, the entire restaurant crew came around with a cake and sang Friday's traditional birthday song. The location is now a British pub called "Baker Street"; the brass rails are still there.
re: Clarkafella
Talk about a bowdlerized description. The original Friday's was not "just another local place," but one of the very first "singles bars." That description completely omits the substantial role Friday's played in the sexual revolution. I'm pretty sure the first Friday's was located close to an apartment building known as the "stew zoo" for its large concentration of flight attendants. And also, there were companion bars called Thursday's, Tuesday's etc.
The chain does suck like a Hoover now, but you gotta give it some props.
re: Bob W
I'm in Memphis, TN right now- home of the second TGI Fridays in the US- that location, where I spent a lot of time, is long gone, but there is a Friday's attached to this hotel. They have Long Island Tea and Margaritas for $4 at night! Pretty good deal in my book; still I go down the block to eat...
re: Clarkafella
Ok, I too hate TGIF's food, with one exception. Those tempura green beans with wasabi ranch. There. I said it. I'll show myself out.
re: LA Buckeye Fan
That sounds really good. I'm going to have to try them.
re: flourgirl
Whenever I end up in a TGIF for some reason (maybe once a year) I always go for those green beans... I could eat mounds of them.
re: Ditdah
I've not seen the beans at Winchester, VA - is it an appetizer or side?
Chains abound in Winchester, VA - the only one we go to is TGIF. I hadn't eaten 'head' lettuce for decades, but recently watching all the episodes of "Mad Men" I remembered that I had indeed eaten plenty in the 50-60's. TGIF refers to it a a 'lettuce wedge' or wedge of lettuce. I've ordered it consistently for almost a year now and it is consistently almost ice-cold, fresher than any I've noticed in grocery markets, dressing blue cheese and bacon is good - and I don't even like blue cheese, nor bacon. Go figure.
This, plus a agnus (sp?) burger and fries all for $10. I eat the burger, leave the bun, have a few fries and a salad, so how can that be beat. Plus a free chips and dip if you have a 'stripes' card. Then, if you go to the internet and give a rating on your meal, you will be entitled to a free appetizer, or something else on your next time there. Then you can get points, and DH gets a free dinner steak.
I've not had a bad meal here, and it's most always a good value. I stick with a glass of the house wine most times and it's worth more than the $4 they charge.
I just can't knock TGIF in any way except the music choice.
re: hill food
Who knew the spelling could be so close? Well, anyway, it is a beef burger - a cow. A burger is one of the very few ways I get any B-12, so I go for this almost everytime for that reason.
re: Rella
It's an appetizer. I tried to find a photo on their website, but they just list the description:
Crispy Green Bean Fries
Crunchy green bean fries breaded and fried to a golden brown. Our cool and creamy Cucumber-Wasabi Ranch dip adds just a touch of spicy.
I actually don't mind chains nearly as much as some on this board do. Sure, it's not going to be as amazing an experience as a good local place, but I don't automatically shy away from chain meals. I just don't do TGIF very often because the one near me is AWFUL. Always crowded, slow and/or rude service, food is never consistent. If I'm going for something along the same lines and we do a chain, we'll do Max and Erma's, Ruby Tuesday's, or Uno's instead.
re: Ditdah
Thank you for the information. I will look for them the next time I go.
As for today, I had a wonderful lunch at a non-chain restaurant for a change - went to another town up the highway :-). What a delight it was. The wine I ordered wasn't an expensive wine, but it was out on a cupboard for all to see, the server didn't get ticked at me when I asked where the crab was from; when I asked if I could bring in my thermos of water, she smiled and said of course not, and brought two sparkling clean water glasses to the table; everything was so good that we ordered two desserts (one each) instead of sharing and weren't disappointed. DH even ordered coffee which he doesn't do in a restaurant. Oh, my - if chains were like this!
That TGIF's must be really inflated. I went to happy hour there the other night with some coworkers, and checked the menu to see what sandwich was $17 (I read this thread beforehand). The most expensive sandwich was the french dip at $12. The iced tea with unlimited refills was $2.49. I live in southern CA, in LA.
re: boogiebaby
Manhattan rents and overhead.......
I live in Flemington, NJ and this is the land of the chain restaurants. In one small town we have a Sonic, a Cheeburger Cheeburger, Applebee's,Chili's, Long Horn, Bensi's, Bok Bok Fresh, TGIF, plus McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and KFC. And I'm sure I missed a few. It's ridiculous. The food at most of these is terrible, the prices are high for what you are getting, and the food is generally very unhealthy. Yet - almost all of these places are always busy. It astounds me and makes me sad at the same time.
We also have a few good to very good restaurants in town - and, at almost any of them, you can get a deliciious lunch, with good service in a very nice atmoshpere for LESS than almost any of those chain restaurants. It's just crazy that people so consistently choose those chains over better quality, local restaurants.
And FWIW, we've eaten a few times at TGIF and Applebee's (we don't anymore) and I think they are both completely awful.
re: flourgirl
Don't you think most of the patrons frequenting the chains are shoppers for the outlet stores? Personally, I do not think most of the restaurants market or advertise themselves very well to the travelers to the area. People are going to choose what they see from the highway. If it were not for nj.com, I wouldn't even know of any privately owned places like....
Blue Fish Grill
unfortunately, the reviews I have read were less than stellar for all three.
re: fourunder
I'm sure many of them are - but I've lived in this town for over 18 years now, and believe me, many many of those patrons are local residents.
We rarely eat at any of the three restaurants you mentioned above. We don't eat out that often, I love to cook and it's more affordable to eat at home, but when we do eat out locally, we prefer 55 Main, Aikou, The Blue Bottle (I know it's in Hopewell but it's 15 minutes away), Huarache Azteca, and believe it or not, Tortuga's in Lambertville.
Matt's is OK, but I think it's over-rated. I've had too many bad meals at Blue Fish - it's very hit or miss there, and we've had far too many misses, and I haven't been a big fan of Max's restaurants in years. They used to be very good but that was a very long time ago.
My point really was that I suspect a lot of people eat at those chain restaurants because they perceive them as being a good deal - and I just don't think that's true at all. It can be very expensive to eat at TGIF's or AppleBee's - and it's a complete waste of money IMHO.
re: fourunder
They rely on word of mouth, which I suppose is why Max's Bistro is closed.
A word about image however. Some places could really take a lesson from TGIF on their appearance... you can't just rely on good food and service to attract new customers.

The first impression "Les Miserables" intends to make on the awards community is a big one. No fewer than six invitation-only screenings of the film — each with an introduction from or Q&A with director Tom Hooper and castmembers — have been scheduled for Nov. 24 at venues as far-flung as the Mann's Chinese, Santa Monica's Aero and the TV Academy headquarters in North Hollywood.

When I read the words Fashion Sports as a shoe category it almost provoked a horrible sneer from my face. If ever there was a section of shoes I'm destined to hate, that would be it. I loathe almost all sportswear, and I hate when shoe designers try to combine

There is a valid concern for employees working more than 30 hours a week but fewer than 40 hours having their hours cut and commensurately their incomes for their employers to avoid the 30-hour mandate of the Affordable Care Act. As a possible solution, Sen. Joe Donnelly is suggesting that Affordable Care Act be amended to designate 40 hours as the criterion.
I do not agree. While this may please private business owners as well as public budget administrators and, more importantly, take away the motivation for them to cut part-time workers' hours, it is not the panacea. If you accept that there are no free lunches, it only passes the tab across the table.
So why did the Affordable Care Act invoke the 30-hour mandate? The logical and rather obvious explanation is that the intent was to require these organizations, public and private, to absorb the cost of insuring these part-time employees.
Until the Affordable Care Act and some investment analysis I did regarding the restaurant business, it never occurred to me the number of hard-working fellow America I interact with every day who do not have health insurance coverage. When you are out and about shopping, having lunch or making a personal purchase, there is a good chance you are interacting with part-time uninsured employees; there is a good chance you may be one.
If you accept the premise (as surveys indicate most of us do) that, as a nation, we want to have affordable health insurance for all our citizens, there will be an associated cost. So it becomes a matter of who should pick up the tab. In the case of education budgeting for part-time employee insurance, it is going to be we the taxpayers – whether it comes from federal taxes or state taxes (property taxes, et. al). In the private sector, it will come from either the company's coffers, higher prices or our taxes.
The 30-hour mandate was poorly conceived. Our politicians should be passing bills that require businesses, private or public, to provide health insurance for their payroll employees, regardless of the hours scheduled. Since it will be a business expense, the expense should be deductible for tax purposes in the private sector.

About Linda
Over 30 years ago Spencer Dorothy and his son, Rick, purchased a 4-acre hill of dirt as a borrow site for their excavating business. Never did they dream that the State of Nebraska would later dam up Sand Creek for flood control and create beautiful Lake Wanahoo, a 662-acre lake, only 600 feet from their property! We hope that developing this land and sharing it with you is something that honors Spencer's life. Spencer passed away on November 23, 1997, one year before the concept of Lake Wanahoo was born. Owners, Rick & Linda Dorothy
Linda purchased this cabin in 2012
Why Linda chose Nebraska
This wonderful parcel of land has been in the family for over 30 years. When the state of Nebraska decided to build the dam for Lake Wanahoo, we began developing the land as a special place for families and other groups to enjoy each other and nature.
What makes this cabin unique
The views of the lake are what prompted the building of this first cabin on Spencer Hill. Wanting a special rustic feeling, we chose various woods for the finishing. The decks are perfect for birdwatching and provide a private, quiet relaxing place to reflect with God and view nature.

Yo ho, all ye salty sea dogs and scalawags.
Just a quick reminder on this annual Talk Like a Pirate Day that ill-gotten gains, including but not limited to pillaged pirate loot, are taxable.
I suspect that Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder and 2013 MLB National League MVP, and his crew of sports team buccaneer mascots will escape Internal Revenue Service scrutiny for their plundering of ESPN's lox.
But look out all ye other crooks, both landlubbing and on the high seas. Don't try to show your heels to the IRS. It was, after all, the federal tax man who was responsible for putting Al Capone in Alcatraz.
The IRS makes its continuing position on cash from criminal acts clear on page 96 of Publication 17:
Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.
Pirate partying: For some honest fun on this year's International Talk Like a Pirate Day, you always can grab some grog and popcorn and enjoy one of Johnny Depp's turns as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. If you'd like a more serious cinematic look at modern day pirates, check out Tom Hanks as Captain Phillips.
You also can see how others around the world are celebrating today. Maybe an event is near you.
Or you can create your own pirate name. Or increase ye olde pirate vocabulary with the English-to-Pirate translator and pirate dictionary.
The Washington Post has more ways to participate in some fun piracy, as does Mental Floss and Examiner.com.
Feeding your pirate hunger: And if the McCutcheon video has whetted your actual appetite, head to your local Krispy Kreme. Participating stores today, Sept. 19, will give any buccaneer who talks like a pirate a free glazed doughnut.
Swashbucklers who wear approved pirate attire will receive a bigger bounty. You can get a dozen of the bakery's glazed doughnuts for free if you're wearing at least three approved pieces of pirate attire or accessories.
The apparel etc. includes an eye patch, pirate hat, bandana, peg leg, parrot on shoulder, pirate shirt or white shirt, knickers, leather belt, pirate hook, silver and gold necklaces and earring, pointy black boots or ragged brown sandals.
Ahoy and enjoy!

Last weekend I was looking through the guide on tv and found it, and it was the first episode, so I watched it and loved it! The second episode played right after and I watched that too. I'll have to remember to look for it again next weekend.

******sighs****** Comcast kept raising my "triple play" rate AND they wanted me to sign a contract for two years. So I ditched them, went to phone and internet service with CenturyLink. Am now experimenting with over-air television. It's free (a definite plus), but far more limited in programming, and of course, no HBO and no Newsroom.

Gridley superintendent rescinds non re-elect motion
Updated On: Feb 19 2014 08:00:00 PM CST
Three Gridley elementary school teachers will keep their jobs, despite a move by the superintendent that essentially would have forced them to quit.
Originally, there were four teachers on the chopping block, but school district officials said one of the teachers did not belong in that category and fixed the problem right away.
Gridley Unified Superintendent Rick Rubino said on the phone Wednesday morning that he had decided to issue a non re-elect motion for the three teachers citing "personnel reasons."
The motion would have forced the teachers to quit.
Rubino said every school district has the right to let go their teachers before March 15 of their second year without any reason.
But after a long night of thinking Rubino decided to rescind his motion regarding the teachers.
He said he decided it's better to train the teachers then let them go.
Rubino also said strong community support played a role.
The three teachers will be reinstated for next school year and will be given tenure.

Review this movie
Nov 22, 2014Great star studded cast in Machete. It seems like this movie is full of big names but it manages to surpise as many movies with this much star power become flops. Danny Trejo plays a role that we expect from him, just an all out badass killing anything that interferes with him. This film obviously generated some Tarantino influence but its not a complete ripoff, it is its own thing.
Mar 29, 2014I reviewed the second Machete, so I thought I would review the first one, because I thought it deserved it. :) Machete is the first Danny Trejo balls out action flick that was directed by Robert Rodriquez and Ethan Manquiz. The story is not the best out there but enjoyable. And you get to see Robert De Niro! Danny trejo is awesome as Machete, he was funny and ass kicking at the same time. This movie was packed with suspense, powerful performances and cheesy twists and gore! Watch it and you'll be entertained throughout.… Expand
Mar 11, 2014i love danny trejo as the guy who kicks ass and gets the woman . but i love the sequel more it has more violence this one is okay i guess what is there to look forward in this movie .
Mar 4, 2014Great fun, and after a strong start, I thought I was in for a treat, but it slowly went downhill. There's only so much tongue in cheek I can take before it grates on me, and not even the last action scene can make up for that. A few other issues and plot holes throughout, so it doesn't surpass an average solid action film for me.
Feb 8, 2014Yet another brainless cheesy action movie by Robert Rodriguez which is way to reminiscent of the 1980's and so violent it makes Tarantino look Pee Wee Herman. However it is also yet another brainless cheesy action movie by Robert Rodriguez which is extremely entertaining and intentionally tacky. Pretty much every action movie star in movie history appears in Machete from Steven Segal to Danny Trejo to Robert De Niro. Machete may be undecided on whether it is a parody or an action satire but either way I enjoyed it.… Expand
Jan 26, 2014He's fun by moments but bad at all...........................................................................................................................................
Jan 22, 2014This feels like two films in one. The first being the portions seen in the 'Grindhouse' trailer; explosions, sex, violence. The second a weak inner conflict between a man and his past. While this could have been good, its only so-so.
Jul 30, 2013Very good for a trash movie blood and guts everywhere. Plot is very simple and even stupid but such kind of movies does not need it much. Awesome crew Michelle Rodrigues, Dennie Trecho, Jessica Alba, Steplen Sigal. Only Lindsey Lochan looks like on drugs. But she is actually on drugs in movie and in real life too. You should watch this, if you like blood meatgrinder like Crank.
Jul 28, 2013A generic action movie with a good cast. The story is ok and the characters could use some work. If you're looking for an action movie to blow off some steam this is for you.
Jul 18, 2013An all around fun B action movie. This film is supposed to be campy and ridiculous, but unlike movies like the Expendables this has a interesting script that works. I've never seen Intestines used in such a way. B+
Jun 29, 2013Machete is Robert Rodriguez's film based on his mock trailer made for the double grindhouse release of Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof and his own Planet Terror. B-Grade superstar Danny Trejo stars as the title character. Those that have seen the mock trailer, or the grindhouse films, know the style of yester-year that Machete is representing. Cheap, nasty, and funny is the order of the day for this kind of film. Rodriguez clearly knows his genre and audience. He goes all out with this over-the-top action flick. The story is, of course, ridiculous. Machete is betrayed by some "above the law" dudes and has to get revenge by slicing and dicing whoever gets in his way. The film does what it says on the cover. Don't go in expecting a glimmer of subtlety or characterization. Go in expecting action, action, blood, oh and action. This would be all well and good except for some slight problems. The unashamedly preachy messages against the Mexican/United States border does get a bit tiring, as does the repetitive nature of the violence (after some interesting action set- pieces they all become similar, except towards the end). Also, this kind of film needs to be much snappier and shorter. It's around twenty minutes too long so that the humor and overall style tends to drag on a bit. Machete holds it's tongue permanently in cheek and Danny Trejo milks every scene as much as he possibly can. Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez and Lindsay Lohan all make for good eye candy and there are some very funny moments. All in all, this exercise in grindhouse excess should keep the fans of this style very happy, even if it can slightly bore others.… Expand
Mar 29, 2013Machete is mindless, gory, and cheesy. Which is exactly what it's suppose to be. The film wasn't intended to be great story, with compelling acting. It's a b-movie, these films are suppose to be over the top gore, mindless action, sexy girls, and with poor to average acting, not meant to be taken seriously. For what it is, Machete is a great movie
Mar 23, 2013This movie should just be named "blood, crazy, knives, and nothing else," It was a pointless movie, Girl naked just for the sake of having a girl naked, and it matched the rest of everything in this movie. This movie got a better rating than the movie "Safe," but I don`t see how. I guess it`s just a bunch of fans who love the cast, and will just like anything they are in, cause it does happen to have a stronger cast.… Expand
Mar 18, 2013You can look at this film four different ways. 1) You can see it as a gleeful everyday stylized action thrilling film 2) You can see it as a sentimental revenge flick 3) You can see it as another great and strong direction by Rodriguez or 4) You can see it as a chance to teach Jessica Alba on how you pronounce Machete.
Feb 9, 2013The acting is so bad that it's laughable and trust me, I laughed many times. Trejo is the only decent part of the cast, Mainly because he doesn't have much in terms of dialogue. The gory action is entertaining to watch but Machete is still quite possibly the stupidest movie of all time.
Feb 3, 2013this is really baaad Film from director of sincity this film is wayesting time in every direction i want throughout this film to trash iam intesting how should be possible someone take 8 or 7 to this film from my openion this film should give 1 or maximum 2
Nov 28, 2012The kind of film many B-Movie filmmakers have always wanted to make but have never come close, "Machete" is silly, simple, and incessant . . . in the best way possible.
Nov 7, 2012A combination of literally gut-spewing violence, hot girls, and some wacko political agendas make for one hell of a film that's guaranteed to entertain.
Aug 25, 2012I watched this film with little expectation but was shocked to find that I loved the film. It is almost a parody of many poor action films and doesn't try to be anything it isn't. A phenomenal cast is led fantastically by Danny Trejo and I would love it if they made a sequel.
Jul 15, 2012Machete is bloody, crazy fun. It's not meant to be taken seriously. Steven Segal is the most over the top, terrible actor, and his portrayal of the movie's main antagonist is actually incredibly funny. I hope it was intentional. In truth, Machete should be considered a comedy. And it's so bad it's actually really good.
May 16, 2012It has explosions. It has hot chicks. It has a mindless shootings. It has striking catchphrases. What do you need more than this to have fun? For me, nothing. It's a incrible movie.
Mar 10, 2012While I like actor that played Machete, this movie was probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is just sad that there are some people that feel the need to pump this movie up because of the political statement that it makes. Especially when the statement it makes is flat out false. That is absolutely pathetic. The acting was poor, the story was poor, but I hope to see the actor that played Machete in more movies in the future. Hopefully something with a better story and much better acting.… Expand
Mar 3, 2012The moment a young woman nonchalantly pulls a cell phone out of her cootch for no particular reason, this film hits rock bottom and never recovers. Unfortunately for Machete, this disgusting event takes place about 5 minutes in. A shockingly solid B-movie cast (Jeff Fahey, especially) is wasted in this exploitative trash that starts with a bang (the first few minutes, anyway) then instantly succumbs to an unambiguously and pretentiously preachy "illegal Mexican immigrants throw off the shackles of your oppressors!" narrative nose-dive. Utterly vile and the complete opposite of entertaining. Robert Rodriguez at his all-time worst, which is saying a lot, given his embarrassing resume.… Expand
Dec 27, 2011"Machete" One Line Review! B+!
It's one of the most ridiculous and entertaining things I've ever watched, a throw back to action flicks of yesteryear. Do not go if you have a weak stomach, lots of gore. Gets a B+!
Oct 25, 2011Machete joins the A list of the biggest movie badasses of all time. The style of the movie works well with the humour and the over the top action is very entertaining. The story is fun and the inner messages of the film gives the movie substance. The middle of the movie does drag a little but the thrilling action finale makes up for it. Machete is a fun action movie with some substance to think about afterwards. Recommended.… Expand
Sep 22, 2011Very funny up until about halfway, then you wish it was over. At least Planet Terror keeps your attention. Robert Rodriguez is wasting his time with projects like this. Is Sin City 2 ever going to come out? Or better yet is Robert Rodriguez ever going to make a original, creative movie like Desperado again?
Sep 15, 2011The B-movie "Machete", based on the fake trailer in "Planet Terror", gives nothing new but blood and gore. However, "Machete", which has a more clear story and objective, is an exception
Aug 3, 2011This one was good. The cast were made of talented people just as Robert De Niro and Danny Trejo. The violence was high but it was what made this movie cool. I cant stop thinking about that gut ripping-swinging scene in the hospital. Really good action in this one...
Jul 31, 2011funny is the word. serious is the tone. and very little action i didn't expect that. this movie is toned down by political overtones. its okay. but it will grow on you in the near future. Machete was a hero and legend. Lindsay lohan gets naked YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
May 31, 2011Bad, and not in a good way. No, I didn't misunderstand the film, but what a perfect way to waste the talent of an all-star cast! It's comical to a point, which is the films strong suit, but eventually it just stops being funny and slumps into TOO MUCH over the top action and gore. What a disappointment!
Any movie that finds a plausible reason to give Lindsay Lohan a nun's habit and a machine gun is worth your attention.
Machete is insanely violent, insanely over-the-top. It's pretty much flat-out insane.
In the end, Machete may not be all that original, but it is fresh – fresh as a steel blade to the gut.
