George C Posted September 19, 2022 #71651 Share Posted September 19, 2022 2 hours ago, HBE4 said: I think White Castle is one of those things you have to grow up with to appreciate. However, I didn’t so I don’t. As a teenager, some of my Bronx-born friends would always tell how much they missed White Castle when their families moved up to Rockland Co. and once they got their drivers licenses, would take the 1-hour one-way trip back to the Bronx just to get White Castle. Eventually, one did open in my home county and I was very much looking forward to trying it. The lines were crazy long and I eagerly waited to get a “sack of sliders”. I love hamburgers & could eat one every day. But what I got instead was a bunch of slimy onions on a greasy roll with nary a hint of hamburger meat. I’ll take Sorrento’s pizza over White Castle any day of the week. The one thing they had in common is I never went to either while sober . But I would take White Castle over Sorrentos 😁. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sliding doors that were not sound proof being the biggest factor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have good coffee and occasionally we will grab a hoagie (not the best but they are good). The only thing I ever had in WaWa was coffee.

Sink will be relocated into the 6'x 10' Island Can't wait until that pony wall is gone, we always hated that. Out with the Old and in with the New!!

Years later I would make sure I got some while visiting my sister in Cincinnati. A couple of years ago, while in Ohio, We stop so I could enjoy one for the memories. After eating a couple bites I told Sharon to never let me do that again.... 😆 I guess our taste can change. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes,once they started to have trouble getting the tiles up they then put up plastic walls and got like a hand held jack hammer type thing attached to a drill, then the tiles came up in pieces. Then they also had a machine that sucks up the dust and has a hose that took it out through a window out of the house. The plastic went around the whole perimeter of the kitchen. It's a short walk from kitchen right out the door through the garage to take all the debris. There is the hand held jack hammer type tool that took up the tiles good.

I've never been to Katz's. Too large and touristy. We had great neighborhood delis much closer to where we lived. I never had White Castle burgers. I remember WaWa discussion in here before.

I suppose Prince Andrew was , also. We have Travel Pro soft side garment bags . They’ve traveled many miles . I’ve just bought a carryon Samsonite hard sided bag. Today , I received my third Covid booster injection ( total of 5 Covid vaccinations ) and flu shot . No problems ! I like White Castle burgers .

I'm not against meat, I just don't particularly like hamburger meat. And I definitely don't like any produce on any of my meat & cheese sandwiches. It was kind of a limiting factor to avoid McDonalds or other burger places growing up. I will put hamburger in spaghetti meat sauce and in macaroni and hamburger, but mostly I just eat the noodles. That's why I don't comment on a lot of your food posts, because I don't eat a wide variety of foods. And I like Olive Garden. You can't really mess up angel hair pasta with meat sauce, and that is all I ever order. LOL 😃😃 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems ! We have to wait until October for our 5th and our flu shots. We received our second boosters in August of the old vaccine, because we are sailing at the end of the week, and I wasn't sure if the new boosters would be out in time. But they really rushed them right out, didn't they? 😃 I'm getting a little tired of all the royal family/Harry & Meghan speculative reporting. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy you got a chance to see this great game , before the game they showed a kindergarten class and all the boys had Buffalo 17 jerseys and the little girls had cheerleaders costumes. I will have directtv installed tomorrow so we can watch all the bills games from home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgmn Posted September 20, 2022 #71674 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I thought I would share this pic taken at our wedding, 36 years ago today. Not sure where the years have gone. I feel bad as with everything going on this last week I forgot about it, but Hubby gave me a lovely card and a rose Bush 🌹 💕 We're looking after Isaac today so probably won't celebrate but will when we go to Cornwall tomorrow for a few days 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are not averse to Olive Garden either. Our resident Italian Royalty may not like it, but that's absolutely fine. 😁 Us paisanos are OK with it. Doesn't mean we will give it an award, but we will eat there. I like the Zoupa Toscana and Shrimp Scampi. I find the passionate "food loves and hates" discussion very entertaining and respect everyone's choices. I do like Sorrento's on the Anthem a lot. I find myself snacking there many times and I do not drink! Other ships so so. It was a blessing after a Wonderland dinner 😇. And I sould say IMHO, H being for humble. I hate Kimmelweck...UGH. Disgusting piece of fat between a bun. (Many will hang me for saying that, but sorry, I really find it disgusting) I do like the bun though.😁 And hard top suitcases....no no for me. Someone asked why and my why is: I find I can stuff more and much better in a soft one. I can sit on it and zip it, then stuff more. 😁. Plus I can pack the SUV trunk better...every square inch of it....sideways and above.....doing that would break the hard top or dent it. I also love the outside zippered pockets and flaps and such, where I can pack on the go stuff and get to it without opening the whole suitcase and digging in. And another reason is just preference. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
