We both got some hairs cut in Havelock and I talked Theresa into trying Isles pizza. “it is pretty close to vals” was good enough to twist her arm. It was a darn decent pie. Pretty close to vals, but the sauce was not as spicy. I loved the thick toppings and cheese. Theresa said she would try it again and we definitely will.

Next door to Geno’s / intoxicants on 11th and G street there will be a bakery from the rumors the Geno’s guys say. There is a dunpster there and paper on the windows so something is going on in there. Would love to be able to pick up a nice loaf on the way home from work each day.

I signed up for the dairy stores newsletter so Lynda could get some free cheese. Today something caught my eye.

On this day in 1903 the invention of the Ice Cream Cone was patented. Come celebrate “National Ice Cream Cone Day” this Monday, September 22nd with us. I’m putting sugar and cake cones on special for only a buck!

Stopped by Wed afternoon after a doctor visit. I had not been there since it changed from the penalty box. Insidey parts look the same, but the menu has changed. Not a huge menu, but a good set of stuff. They do cheap steaks on some days and it is quite a deal. THe bartender reccomended I get a cheese frenchie, but I had a hankering for a breaded chicken sammich. Although I asked her between the chicken and a burger and she said their burgers are killer. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger.

Glistening fat parfait mmmmm…..

I was in there around 3:30 and it was not filled with anyone else eating and my ticket got delayed a bit cuz the cook was doing prep. He rushed it a bit. I could tell he used a lid over the burger on the grill to speed up the cooking. When that is done it traps the fuel and exhaust of the grill and adds a very noticeable flavor. The bacon was precooked, which is totally acceptable. It was piled on and crispy. The bun was brushed with butter before being browned which was awesome. Fries like mini steak fries were fresh. The burger itseld was “certified angus” and oh man was it good. Thing looked like a piece of steak on a bun. It was one heck of a tasty burger besides the fuel taste.

When the cook came out I found out it was a former workmate and a cook I respected a bunch. He worked at the Tam O’ Shanter for a long time as well. He said sorry for the time it took and I could see he knew I could taste the fuel. It was all good. I will go back again for sure. It was a darn fine burger.

Thanks.

I heard about this place opening up in Omaha around the time I was helping my friend move back from LA where I had my first In-N-Out burger. I just had to get up to Omaha and check it out for myself. Theresa had a great idea to hit the Henry Dorly Zoo Sat morning so we were going to be in the area and I had fatburger on the mind.

Theresa used the directions on iphone maps to get us to some huge retail area that made southpoint look pitiful. We drove around the maze of parking lots and found it. Walked in and the place was shiny and pretty simple menu wise.

LJS article

Instead, they ended up with a pizza place that offers a tasty lunch and dinner. Suite 1 opened in May and boasts a variety of styles from deep-dish chicken alfredo ($17 medium, $20 large) to thin-crust meatball sub ($15 medium, $16 large). It also serves calzones and several different types of appetizers, including Italian quesadillas ($7.50) and fried vegetables ($5.95). There are also plenty of vegetable toppings for those who don’t eat meat.

“We started putting things together,” Luedtke, 25, said, “and we ended up going with just pizza because there’s already a lot of sandwich shops in town.”

Mark of monkey wrench cycles gives some tips for bikers on in the LJS

Monkey Wrench is seeing more new bikers and people who haven’t ridden their bikes in a long time, and gas prices are mentioned by customers at least once or twice a day, Janike said.

Those who are hopping on a bike for the first time in years will probably notice commuting by bicycle is a little different than the days of riding your bike to the pool.

If you’re thinking of riding to work or classes this fall, we’re here to help.

The LJS did an article On Adam Whites (crazeone.com)new art line.

Adam White has his own trading card.

Drawn in the style of the Garbage Pail Kids trading cards that were all the rage in the mid-1980s, it shows White, wearing a T-shirt of his own design, atop a blue, one-eyed tiger. The words “Craze-One Clothing” — the name of White’s clothing line — run across the top of the card.

John Pound, who drew the original Garbage Pail Kids trading cards, also drew the one of White, the first in a series of five Garbage Pail Kids tribute cards that White and Pound began discussing a decade ago. The other four have yet to be released.
