The Coffee House

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. It was 51F this morning as I headed off to work. (Gary's early day.) It should warn up to a balmy 76F. We have a problem with Miss Maggie ... a pee problem. She gets so excited greeting new people and so happy to see Mary Lou or Gary upon our return or even get out of bed ... her whole body is moving and shaking and her little tail is moving so fast that it becomes invisible ... then she uncontrollably pees. Poor little girl ... no big deal on the wooden floors, but the carpets are a bit more problematic. Now, when Mary Lou and Gary return home, we enter through the side gate and call Maggie out to the patio ... where we can easily hose away her excitement. Now Mary Lou want me to call before entering through the front, to give her time to secure Maggie May in the back, away from the carpets. Gary knows, that with time, Miss Maggie will have greater bladder control and we become less exciting, that the problem will go away. But for now ... we have a puppy.

We have an 11 year old Austrailian Koolie. She gets too excited sometimes when I get home from a trip. So, she gets let out the door before I head inside. It's not all the time she does it. But just sometime I think she needs to empty the bladder anyway. And then gets all excited and can't hold it.

I believe I saw on Dog Whisperer that the correct way to train away from the “excited to see you potty” was to not greet the dog until she was calm and sitting.

After a late start, we made it to Mystic, CT. Can anyone advise on Christo’s Pizza?

I know it’s a tourist trap these days but I love the Greek style pizza at Mystic Pizza for a change of pace from traditional Italian style.

Do you have Greek pizza places up there? We probably like one of the NYC-style places here in NL better, but we get pizza from a Greek place more often, because it's still tasty and significantly cheaper.

We do but usually order from the Italian place down the street.

North End is real Italian and you can't beat it!!

Pizza Regina - the original in the N. End, not the chain restaurant in the malls, has the best pizza around here but, NY pizza is still hands down the best pizza. I like that place Johns that’s inside what looks like an old church. It’s a little outside Times Sq.

The only place I’ve ever found outside of NY that had truly great NY style pizza was this little place in Santa Barbara called Uncle Rocco’s NY Pizza. Greasy crispy goodness!
We found a gormet place near Broadway that we liked - Jon’s.

Probably the same place.

It's called "Happy Wiz". Not sure she'll grow out of it, more of a behavioral issue, that might need some work to resolve.
 
If Frank's and Clyde's teamed up into one restaurant it could be called Fryde's, and they could serve all fried foods.

I think it might be my brain that's fried. A beautiful crisp fall morning and an idiotic call woke me early for nothing; dozed off then another worthless call so I got up feeling less than refreshed and ready to toss the phone out the window. Other than that, nothing much going on.
 
Afternoon peeps (can't call you hosers).
Dave had 4 minutes under 5.5 hours.
A bit of excitement (and groan/eyeroll from Trish) when plastic chunks came out from under the buffer and then the idler pulley that keeps the belt tight disintegrated. At least it didn't throw the pad. I did get the floor machine to be slightly less liquid producing.

The second bank in town said no trading out pennies anymore. Sigh.
As far as she knew I can still buy a box of pennies. Will test that theory after work tomorrow.

Later gators!

I keep our ringer off for the landline and my cell goes on Do Not Disturb from 11pm until the 6am unless Princess is not Home.

She is always calm and sitting ... before she sees us or a guest. Then she becomes excited and pee-ing.

We have doggie doors ... so we do call her to the back when we leave either singularly or together. I think she'll grow out of it.

Maybe 20 years ago I was roaming around down in Alabama. I went down to Dauphin Island. Went to see the fort. Got hungry and decided to get some real food. So I found a seafood resturant, and thought to myself. That should be pretty good. So, I go in there and the waitress handed me the menu and said they had a buffet. So, I look at the menu, and look, and look. She comes back and asks if I am ready. I reply no not yet. I keep looking at the menu, and looking. She comes back again, and asks if I was ready again. I then had to ask. Is there anything not fried? She thought for a little bit. And she finally said no. Everything is fried. I stayed and had some platter. But litterally everything on the plate was fried.
 
:bouncingsmileys:
We ended up at Frank’s Gormet Grill, next to the hotel. We were extremely satisfied.

It was a pleasure serving exceptional guest like you
Do you recommend the Jaeger Schnitzel??


if you prepare it yourself use fresh herbs, tarragon, rosemary, sea salt, ground black pepper, lemon cest for the mushroom topping and good cream of the fatty kind. If you can afford the best pasture finished veal ...

i found a Gourmet place in Fresno. A Danny's. The parking lot was full of junkies and junkies ate and probably also cooked there. Great skillet full of fresh veggies, fresh herbs, fine oil, juicy meat .... fair prices ... but park your car in sight and watchwatw ....
