I wonder what caused that. I certainly differs from my experience.

Hadn`t thought of that. How well did the salt stick to the popcorn? That
could get expensive using the spritz on your popcorn if you ate much of
it. Bv)= Of course with Steve`s corn allergy that could now be moot.

A lot of my missing dishes went that way. Just never "came home" after
visiting someone else`s kitchen.

Our farmer`s market is nearly all edibles. Once a month they have do a
"Crafts Fair" along with the agricultural products.

AFAIK my local Red Robin didn`t offer any Vet`s specials. But, I learned
that Wendy`s offered a free breakfast combo to veterans. The one I miss
is Denny`s - which used to do a free meal (breakfast or lunch) for veterans
on Veteran`s Day. We used to have two Denny`s here. The west side one went
over to being a Beef O`Brady`s then to bring "For Lease". The east side
store (convenient to me) was knocked down and a drive-thru car wash took
its place. FEH!
I miss the Super Bird and the Moon`s Ove My Hammy offerings.
MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
Title: Denny`s Superbird
Categories: Poultry, Cheese, Pork, Vegetables
Yield: 1 Sandwich
3 oz Deli-sliced turkey
2 lg Slices sourdough bread
Butter; softened
2 sl Processed Swiss(Emental)
- cheese *
Salt
2 sl Bacon; cooked
2 sl Tomato
MMMMM------------------------ON THE SIDE-----------------------------
French fries
Pickles
* if making this myself I use "real" aged Ementaler
cheese. It makes a difference - to me, at least. UDD
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Grill the
stack of turkey breast in the pan without separating the
stack until the meat is golden brown on both sides.
While the turkey is browning, butter one side of each
slice of soudough bread. Place one slice of bread in the
pan, buttered side down.
Place the 2 slices of Swiss (Emmenthaler) cheese on the
unbuttered side of the bread grilling in the pan.
Put the stack of turkey breast slices on the cheese.
Sprinkle with a bit of salt.
Place the cooked bacon on the turkey breast.
Stack the tomato slices on the bacon next.
Top off the sandwich with the remaining slice of
sourdough bread. Be sure to place the bread with the
unbuttered side facing the tomato slices.
