Hi Nancy,

-=> Quoting Ruth Haffly to Nancy Backus on 09-30-15  17:22 <=-

 NB> Continuing...  ;)

 NB>  RH>> If it's that good, I think I'd want it on a plate, with a fork.
 NB> Don't  RH>> want the taste to be muted by bread.
 NB>  NB>> I'd certainly consider having that one bun-less, or with the bun
 NB> on  NB>> the side... it was a good-sized crab cake, too...

 RH> OK, no bun for me, not even on the side. Got to save room for dessert.

 NB> Only offerings there were frozen custard, with or without toppings, or
 NB> in a few choices of sundaes...  :)

That works. you mentioned they had chocolate. I might skip toppings tho.


 RH> I don't always know how big the entree is until it comes out. If it's
 RH> really big, I'll split off 2/3 or so to go; if moderate sized, I'll
 RH> just split it in half. Even then, I might add to it, especially if I've
 RH> had a salad before the entree has come out.

 NB> First time someplace I wouldn't know how big something would be... but
 NB> we tend to go to the same places most of the time, so one gets a feel
 NB> for size that way...  :)  One place we ate regularly, when I asked for
 NB> a box to take some home at the end, the lady behind the counter took a
 NB> closer look and figured out (correctly) that I was quite under the
 NB> weather... :)   But for a first time place, I'd still wait until the
 NB> end of the meal to box the excess... after all, Richard (or others
 NB> with us) might be interested in some of it, too...  :)

I usually do wait until near the end of the meal to ask for a box. But,
when the entree is brought out and it looks big enough, I split it
before starting to eat it. Sometimes I've nibbled a bit off the portion
I'd put aside but most often, that is untouched until it goes into the
box. Helps with my diet/ carb count self discipline.

 NB>  NB>> She ended up hardly eating any of the fries, so she saved the
 NB> calories  NB>> and carbs there...  :)

 RH> I'd have tried the fries but probably not had very many. Splitting an
 RH> order with Steve, giving him the much larger amount, and still not
 RH> eating the bun, would have helped also.

 NB> You'd probably both have sufficient to eat, too...  :)

Maybe ended up taking some home, even with splitting them? We've both
cut back considerably on they amount of fries we eat; when fast food
places started letting us sub a side salad for fries on a combo, the
fries were history. Every now and then we'll split an order but even
then, I make sure Steve gets the larger amount. I'll take what I want,
then let him dump ketchup all over the rest. (G)

 NB>  NB>> money... so it could go for another meal, or be split between
 NB> diners  NB>> easily enough...  :)

 RH> Do they do discounts for seniors or others? Steve usually asks about a
 RH> military discount--most restaurants only do it on Veteran's Day but
 RH> you never know who will do it, for what and when.

 NB> Didn't think to ask... I usually do ask about senior discounts...
 NB> didn't think of it here, as an arm of the grocery store, but they
 NB> might, as a
 NB> restaurant...  :)   Just got a senior discount from Boston Market,
 NB> grabbed a quick sandwich from the drive-thru to eat on my way down to
 NB> Avon and back Tuesday...  :)

Sounds good. We don't generally go to Boston Market--not too many of
them in this area or on the route we generally travel. We did try them
in NJ once, and they weren't bad, but just don't usually go there.
