Of course, with yesterday being Christmas, most of us enjoyed a holiday dinner either at home or with family. Now, I know this could have ranged from traditional ham and/or turkey to prime rib. Or - you could have just had sandwiches.
Share with us what you had for Christmas dinner/lunch??

Waffle House - Trussville - Don't go there
After attending the Christmas Program, which I must say was awesome - at Church of the Highlands, Grants Mill campus, we stopped at Waffle House in Trussville to grab some dinner. When we walked in, there was one empty table and it had not been cleared. However, that is not unusual, so we sat down at the table, assuming it would be cleared shortly, and picked up menus to decide what we would have.
TEN minutes later - the table had not been cleared - nobody had come by to take an order - we had not been approached at all. We were totally ignored by the three people that appeared to be working.
So - we left. I certainly cannot recommend the Waffle House at Trussville!

Jacks - Again
OK - we decided to be brave and give Jack's drive-thru in Locust Fork, AL another try.
We placed our order and drove around to the window. Had to wait a little longer than normal for a drive-thru, but finally the person opened the window, took the money and handed our drinks out. Then he looked around at the orders sitting there on the counter, finally chose one, handed it to me and said "I think this is yours".
OK - he "thinks" this is our order??? Thankfully, the order was correct and the food was good. So, I guess overall it was a decent experience. It's just that I keep getting "stuck" on that phrase - "I think this is yours".
Is this the way to run a drive-thru? What do you think???

Waffle House
Took the boys to Waffle House for breakfast on Sunday morning. This is one of their "things" - to get to go to Waffle House for breakfast. We visited the Waffle House in Pinson, AL.
The boys had waffles and bacon. They "love" those Waffle House waffles. We also had waffles. I have to admit these are the best waffles around. I have not found anywhere else that has waffles as good as Waffle House. I have tried to make them at home, but just can't seem to get that same taste.
The boys enjoyed breakfast - and the service was great. We only had one complaint. Mother ordered her bacon "crispy" and there was part of it that she could not eat because it was a bit under-done. Other than that, we had a great breakfast and I am sure we will be back.

Pizza Hut
I had the grandsons this weekend - so we have a couple of new places to comment on! It has become something of a tradition to go to Pizza Hut to eat when they come to Grandma's house. So, last night, we had dinner at Pizza Hut in Warrior, Alabama.
We started with bread sticks with cheese. I have to say that those were the best bread sticks with cheese that I have had in quite some time. We also had pepperoni lovers pan style pizza. What can you say about that? Well, there was tons of pepperoni as well as plenty of sauce and cheese. The crust was not overcooked and hard. Even the boys ate the crust!
The service was good and we did not have to wait an unreasonably long time for our order. Overall, we had a great experience!
Have you eaten at a Pizza Hut lately?? What kind of experience did you have?

Golden Corral
OK - a visit to a new place. Well, not actually a "new" place as I have been to this location before, but I have not previously written about it. Tonight was dinner at Golden Corral in Hoover, AL.
Of course, Golden Corral is a buffet - so you have all you can eat and then some. After 4:00 PM, they have pan seared seafood. My friend actually had the pan seared shrimp. Aside from being a bit spicy, they were apparently pretty good.
I had the challenge tonight of having a "tooth" issue - a whole 'nother story - but I had to find "soft" foods. Of course, at Golden Corral, there is such a wide variety of choices, that was not hard. I normally have the steak, but that was out for me. I did, however, have meat loaf, creamed potatoes and mac n' cheese. All were very good. Of course, I managed one of the big yeast rolls - I mean what's dinner without one of those?
Other items around the table varied from Brussels sprouts, steak, chicken, fried okra and some other items. Desserts were just as varied. There was brownies, apple pie, banana pudding, as well as strawberries and pineapple dipped in the chocolate waterfall. I, of course, stuck with the apple pie for tonight. But, oh the pineapple dipped in chocolate looked just too good!! The only complain that I heard concerned the banana pudding. The person who had that said there were only two things wrong with it: 1) it had no bananas, and 2) it didn't taste like bananas. So I guess the banana pudding was not the best choice.
Service was good and, overall, the food was very good. I look forward to going back again.
