I don’t want to take the bookshelves or little bookcase with me.

NOTE [10/12/23]: I think this was their Eggs Benedict and it appears that I had it with a small dish of grits. I seem to recall that I thought this dish was “heavy,” but it was delicious. I sat in one of these two seats by the window facing back toward their kitchen. It has been a long while since I visited this cafe, but I think I went several times when I was passing through the area. *There was another restaurant that was in a shiny silver railroad car (perhaps just made to look like a diner made from a railroad car) that I wanted to visit, but I think on two separate occasions it was not open on the day I was passing through. Cafe Gouda website & virtual tour (directions via Google Maps). Looking at their current virtual tour, it does not appear that it has changed any. I would like to visit one more time, if possible.

I think the diner car restaurant might have been Shell’s BBQ, and it looks like the structure is completely gone and there is now a new Biscuitville unit in it’s place.

Stick blender and accessories at Bed Bath and Beyond.

This was my first stick blender.  The motor wasn’t very powerful, and the chopper bowl was too small to grind a single can of garbanzo beans into hummus.  I “limped along” for several years before I finally bought a newer Braun MultiQuick set.  The new set was more powerful and had a larger chopper bowl.  With the new unit I could grind a whole can of Chickpeas into hummus and the motor didn’t grind to a halt.
