Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

Food Good Enough To Eat.......And To Wear!
Posted 05-31-2013 at 03:30 PM by case44
Sometimes, it just gets real comical how I can go to restaurants to grab some good grub and expect to get through the meal without getting any of it on me. On some visits, well, no problem. And others, well........
Case in point (pun vigorously intended): The scene from this morning. It's not very often that I order pancakes from any restaurant, café, bistro, or fast-foodery. This morning, I had blueberry pancakes with not enough butter, ample maple syrup, and not enough real estate. The place was the Old West Café in Grapevine, Texas (and if you are ever in the Dallas-Fort Worth area anytime, do pay a visit there --- it'd be worth your while), and I decided I was craving said item, so there I went. It would not have mattered how many linen napkins I had or how much I tried to be careful. Chances are good that my actions and that pesky syrup somehow would turn my green T-shirt into a conversation nightmare I'd rather not have. A fork doesn't always do pancakes justice when they fall apart, and, so, a small snippet of pancake and syrup fell off same and onto the green shirt a few inches above my belly button. The plate just wasn't big enough to accommodate enough syrup because the pancakes took up too much space.
~Sigh~ At least, everything I had was good, but it's a chore just giving extra effort to get through pancakes safely. Never mind that I couldn't finish half of them (Heck, they're so big that they have their own zip code). I shoveled up the rest of the meal (sausage patties, hash browns, and scrambled eggs) without incident. Upon the return home, it was an appointment with a washing machine.
Back to biscuits and gravy. Eggs Benedict. The western omelette. Breakfast quesadillas. Heck, even the occasional French toast. Anything but pancakes!
