Off to a Greek Diner For Pulled Pork

Went to a local diner today, because my daughter wanted to go to IHOP (a fast-food chain that is known mostly for their pancakes) and there's usually always a line out the door. 

 It's President's Day in the states, so a lot of people have off and I am luckily one of those that have the day free. So I told my daughter, if it isn't packed, maybe we can try IHOP. But if it is, we can go to a local diner which is just as good, if not better. 

 Glad I did. I don't usually like going out too much, but this place wasn't bad. 

 At this point it was too late to get breakfast--even though they still offered it. I was going to go to my favorite, pasta, but then decided on a burger. The prices were a bit high, but not too bad. The burgers were better.

 Then I saw it. Pulled Pork... 

 My wife had brought my attention to it first, then there was no going back. I was transported back to my days of watching the Food Network after hard days of work, binge-watching the shows and the BBQ competitions in the summer. I was also warped to that little restaurant at the back of Great Adventure. I found one of the best pulled port sandwiches I was ever going to have that day, well, until this encounter. And the fries were great, as well.

 Of course the wife wanted some onion rings, so I got a side of those.

She had a Turkey Club sandwich, which looked delicious. My daughter had the hot dog with fries. We finished off with cheese cake and coffee. Once in a while it's nice to treat yourself. 

 Next time going to just go with breakfast, but this place was a great find. 

 Let me know what you like to do when you get a chance to go out, what do you like to order: fast food, or a restaurant.

The Brightest Flame

The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
