I was RAVENOUS. 😂 Well I wanted Andy to stop at Dunkin Donuts and get me a pumpkin donut, but at discharge they said I should eat light for the first several hours. And no alcohol tonight - how rude! So instead of a donut I came home and had some toast, then my nap. I’m snacking on goldfish crackers now. But tonight we’re going out to dinner and I want a nice juicy burger & fries. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I'm with you... I'd eat almost anything over White Castle tried it twice just in case the first time was a mistake. Give me In N Out any day of the week. I can't for the life me understand people fascination with those tasteless little burgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Momof3gurlz Posted September 20, 2022 #71703 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Re: the fast food wars (instead of the Sorrento’s wars LOL)… I’ve never had White Castle. We did have Whataburger while visiting Andy’s brother in Dallas, they were good. I’m not a fan of Olive Garden, probably because we have so many good Italian restaurants here. We don’t have WaWa around here but there are plenty where our oldest DD lives in PA. I haven’t had any food from there, it’s usually just a gas/coffee stop. I know I’ve mentioned our oldest went to college In Roanoke VA, middle went to West Virginia Univ & youngest started at Virginia Tech but transferred. Having said that, we’ve visited many a Sheetz, which is similar to WaWa. They have good coffee & breakfast sandwiches with fun names - a bagel sandwich is a Shmagel, an English muffin sandwich is a Shmuffin, etc. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy goes every 3 years due to polyps, while I’ve been on a 5 year schedule. I guess now that I’ve had one removed I can look forward to this fun experience more often 🤪. If it is a hyperplastic polyp it won't change anything. If it is an adenomatous polyp you may have to have your next one at a closer interval. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 requirements last month back in Texas was a Whataburger and a chicken fried steak. 😃 I prefer Whataburger to any other "fast food" burgers. When I was in rehab, Jack brought me a Whataburger and fries a few times a week. I must not be a true Texan yet. Shhhh I don't care for chicken fried steak but I LOVE Blue Bell ice cream if that counts. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to go there as a child with my grandmother and family. We went on many day trips around Cornwall. We took the train from the London area to Bodmin and stayed with the same Aunt. Just looking at Google Earth was like a trip down memory lane. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One very small polyp removed, Dr said it didn’t look like anything to worry about. Should have the results in about a week. I’ve just woken up from a 3 hour nap after very little sleep last night. Looks like I have some catching up to do here. Good to hear that all went well, Deb! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted September 21, 2022 #71719 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) My feast tonight. We shared Short Rib Quesadillas as an appetizer and I had the house burger & fries. I finished the burger but didn’t make a dent in the fries. This is at a local pub type restaurant about a mile from our house, we sometimes go here on Thursday nights for trivia.
