One thing I’d never had in my whole life … well, at least since it’s become popular … is deep-fried whole turkey. No, not the whole turkey … I can’t eat that much … well, maybe … anyway … I digress. Yesterday I was finally able to enjoy some fresh, hand-dipped, deep-fried turkey! And it was […]
‘The Coney Nazi’
I could easily become … ‘The Coney Nazi’. Ali “Al” Yeganeh’s inspiration for Larry Thomas’s ‘Soup Nazi’ on the 116th episode of Seinfeld was brutal. Ask the character for bread, and either pay for it, or … … “No soup for you!!!” … and out you go. I could easily do that with the Flint coneys I […]

If it were at all possible I’d have breakfast for breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea, luncheon, dinner, supper, before-bed snack, in-bed snack, a midnight snack, and even a two a.m. feeding. This morning’s was a […]
