This week's Fat Tuesday post...
Re: This week's Fat Tuesday post...
You have just sent me into a depression over how much I miss Friendly's. I also grew up with Friendly's, and there isn't one near me now. Thankfully, there are still some by my parents.
Best ice cream.
Mesh, I weep that there is no Dunkin' near you because their coffee is amazeballs.
And if any of you disagree with that statement, get out of this thread NOW.

Above Us Only Sky
Has anyone else been to Cook Out Burger? I think it may just be a western NC thing. So delicious!
And they have 30+ milkshake flavors, I lived on Chocolate Caramel shakes when I had mono in grad school.
Damn all of you. I'm craving a Dunkin chocolate frosted donut so bad now. We only have Shipley's here (those are good, too, though). Must not give into temptation.
I have been underwhelmed by Dunkin's coffee. The last time I got it was when I still put sugar in my coffee. But I found that once they added cream & sugar, it was way too sweet. If there were one near me, I'd try it again without sugar. But again, I'd have to leave my neighborhood to get to a DD. Too lazy.
Yes!
Who can blame Maddie? Dude, I would love a place that gave me pulled pork to snack on. And now I need chocolate pecan pie.
We have them in eastern NC. I love the small burger, and I wish more places offered small burgers.
DH and I ate there twice on our two day stop in Winston-Salem last summer. We had every single meal planned in advance weeks before our arrival. lol.
LOL, this is very P&CE unpopular, but I even like the Bible verses on the bags and cups.
lurker butting in.
I've been to a few in Charlotte. It's so cheap, it's hard to pass up. Food not the greatest, but those milkshakes...
So I've pre-emptively rewarded/bribed myself for not eating anything bad today by signing up for a massage tonight. Yay! Now I can't buy crappy food or I'll feel like a total ass.
Don't tell me this thread is dying out and won't reach 5 pages.
Keep the dream alive!
VROOM VROOM GOES THE RASCAL!
Vroom vroom goes the rascal indeed!
I just found this. Seemed appropos.
?We don?t have Chick Fil-A where I?m from.?
:::whispers:::
there's no Chick-fil-a in Vegas, either.

Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
But you can get margarita popsicles! And legally blow your mortgage on a single hand of blackjack.
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
Heh. I've never been to a Chick Fil A either.
Or a Sonic, Red Robin, Carls, White Castle, Popeyes, In n Out, Hardees, Outback, TGI Fridays, Cracker Barrel, Chilis, etc etc. Or....what's that other one that always advertises but there isn't one in the Northeast. It has a groady chocolate fountain? ::shudders::
Oh and everyone knows Dunkies coffee is terrible. You don't go there because you like coffee.
You go because there are 8 on your way to work (you can see the next one from the last one's front step). You go because you're pregnant and you want a glazed cruller (
). You go because everyone you know, from your boss to your ma to your cousin Fitzie, everyone goes to Dunkies.
But, DAMN! You need to get out more!
Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.
That would be Golden Corral. Which I also get comercials for but I don't think there's one on this coast.
Yes! That's it. I think Major has been there, lol. She is my insider on all things flyover-country.
And lol @ Mrs A. That was the list of places I've never been! The list of places I've not been in the last 10 years includes such establishments as Burger King, Olive Garden, Applebees, and so on. I've only been to McDonalds twice and that was for coffee.
But the peppermint hot chocolate is so good!
I don't eat at CFA bc of their politics but this baby loves milkshakes so I have made an exception for the past 9 months haha. Now I want a milkshake. Maybe I will go to Wawa for lunch tomorrow (bc why not) and then Sonic for dessert for a root beer float. Except Wawa has milkshakes, oh the possibilities.
DD has good coffee but their donuts are bleh. I still eat them (again, bc why not) but I'd rather have a good old fashioned chocolate glazed doughnut any day of the week.
H won't be home for another half hour, I'm going to have some ice cream.
