Hey timeout,
Yes indeed there are 2 chili dog types of people. Rudy's or Packo's and no in between. When friends come to visit I still ask them to bring a white Wixey cake.
I think I may have Hexed myself by posting about Toledo. Within 2 or 3 days we got a call saying my spouse's father was caught driving around aimlessly. He was assessed at a nursing home and has late stage alzheimers'. So I just returned home yesterday from getting him out of the home. I'm pretty sure I will be packing up my home soon and returning to the Toledo area. UGH! Hexed myself, right? I am not looking forward to this.
The upside: the kids are now grown and will not follow us back there.
A funny story when I went back just to remind me where I was going to be living: We all know restaurants are never as clean as your kitchen, but...We stop in at Whitehouse Inn for some prime rib and the owner puts his "newsletters" on the table that you can read before the wait staff shows up. I bite. As I get to bottom of front page I see this paragraph that states the health inspector had been in recently without any notice. The inspector said the kitchen was not clean enough. He owner then goes to reassure me in the letter that he power washed the kitchen and now is "trying to keep the kitchen floor cleaner" What does that mean? Cleaner?? Having to power wash your kitchen??? Not something I needed to know BEFORE I ordered my food. Needless to say, wont be back! Oh dear God but I will be back in Toledo!!
