Lemony Zest :: Kim Lewandowski

On Wednesday, Aug. 10, my TNT weekly dinner group went to the No Frill Bar & Grill for dinner. Everyone liked what they ordered. The No Frill has been there for several years – I’ve been there many times, and always enjoyed the food. We are all glad they installed the noise-diminishing panels on the walls – it helps a lot when you want to actually talk to each other.

So here’s what we had:

• I had a pork BBQ sandwich with cole slaw on top and corn and black bean salsa on the side – yummy
• Barbara had fried catfish with pasta salad and potato salad. She ate it all, so it must have been good. Barbara has tried catfish everywhere around here, so if you’re looking for some good catfish, she’s the one to ask.
• Susan had the pita quesadilla with a side of spinach. She really liked the quesadilla but was disappointed in the spinach – she thought it was overcooked.
• Keith had, I believe, the smoked turkey and pastrami sandwich on sourdough bread, also with a side of spinach. He enjoyed it thoroughly and thought the spinach was just right. So you might like it, or you might not.
• Karen had a small salad and the portabello mushroom appetizer. The appetizer was huge – the two together were more than enough for her. They looked great and tasted just as good, according to Karen.

So there you have it – except for one side, we all enjoyed everything. They do it right, which is why they’re always busy.

There’s a contest mentioned on the Is My Blog Burning? site: Be Rachael Ray for a Day. The objective is to mimic her $40 a Day TV show by finding meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner in your own town that add up to $40, by Aug. 22, and then blog the results. I have a few ideas in mind – I’ll get back to you.

Well, look at that – I decided to change the theme These bright colors suit me better, although I’m going to get into the CSS and change the link colors, and I like how the link categories show up in this one. Also, I think it’s easier for people to leave comments – the other theme, Sunset, showed the comment box at the bottom of the page when you clicked on the icon, and one friend who shall remain nameless couldn’t see how to leave a comment. So go ahead, y’all- let me know what you think.

By the way, an online friend (Hi, Donna) reminded me that, if you use Mozilla, you can set a bookmark to check a bookmarked site (like this one) for updates periodically. To do this:

1. Click Bookmarks, Manage bookmarks.
2. Right-click on a bookmark and select Properties.
3. In the box where it says "Check this location for updates," make your
   selections.

Or, if you have an RSS reader (I use RSSReader), you can add this site as an RSS feed.
