About Food and Eating 

Been asked to tell a tale 

A tale of food or eating 

Start with a place 

that isn't good? 

That I will not 

        We've never had a bad at the Cracker Barrels.  Their Meat Loaf is par with Mom's; Chicken Fried Chicken is my favorite.  Desert is Fried Apple in sweet syrup to go for desserts, at home we have it a la mode with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream. 

        Yummy!!  

Then tell about your cook 

I'll tell you of some things I cook 

My cooking some might call 

it for every thing I make 

So everything I make, means 

microwaving, baking, frying, 

assembly of ingredients, 

defrosting from the frozen,

You name it, that, I might “make”

        Today I'm "making" Hot Dogs with cheese and sauerkraut and having Bush Original Baked Beans soon for Lunch. Cherry Pie a la mode next or later for dessert. 

If there is a place left 

on the Misses' card 

we can go out for 

a tasty meal 

    

        And when I'm not “making” it chances are that we are eating out. I like a lot of places besides Cracker Barrel. Some we visit that are nearby, Fast Food would be McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Whataburger, Little Caesars(pizza), Chick-fil-A, and Kolache Factory. Favorites here would be Burger King for a sit-in Breakfast, Wendy's for sandwiches, and Subway and Kolache Factory for take-out.

        If we are better dressed for going in, it would be Orleans, Spring Barbeque, Luby's, Willie's Grill, Carrabba's Italian, Chuck Wagon BBQ and Burgers, La Finca(Mexican), and Apple-bees.

        Our Sunday Restaurant is Orleans, serving New Orleans type foods, much is spicier than Mrs. Jim wants. Wendy's eat-in is good, ours isn't open often for breakfast due to a help shortage. Burger King has Breakfast coupons; our favorite there is BOGO egg, cheese, and Ham or Sausage croissant sandwiches plus one senior coffee; it comes with one helping tater tots and one medium coffee.

    I used a list, “Restaurants in Katy,” there were 972 (Houston Metro Area, 11,361) for choosing. Some others did not make the list. Also we eat outside Katy into Houston proper, there it is liable to be Papadeaux Seafood. 

    Luby's has veteran discounts, Orleans has Senior Day on Fridays.

Josh and Joline -- a "Reader make an own" Prosery Write for dVerse

A bad night 

Josh had wakened early that day.  He could sleep no more and had lain wide awake, reviewing last evening.

Why did he crash the Peterman Dance Hall party in progress?  Why?  There was only one reason, one he wished would leave his mind. 

Joline had been invited to the party, “but come alone”, by her ex-college roommate. All girls he had surmised, why else come stag.  

Lots of cars he had thought, driving in. He had wanted to see the roommate again too, he knew as he cracked open the door.  Oops, he quickly closed the door. Joline on the floor, dancing with her first romantic crush.  

Josh could take no more, last night nor this morning. Leaning over the rail, below and in the distance was coming his target, an 18-wheeler.  Overhead ‘traffic holding its breath, Sky a tense diaphragm’ . . .
