[Twisted Acres]

Nothing fancy, no gourmet ingredients, but it's ground turkey, and it's on whole wheat buns.

 

 

Enjoy this evening's supper, VCers... unless you ate it already.

 

ps: i haven't started a thread here in months... be gentle with me.

I think I spoiled my appetite for dinner by baking banana muffins and eating too many!

This is a song...

This is uhh, this is a new song...

Its through the eyes of one of the greatest people alive, I feel...

The lunchlady

[laughing]

 

Woke up in the morning

Put on my new plastic glove

Served some reheated salisbury steak

With a little slice of love

Got no clue what the chicken pot pie is made of

Just know everythings doing fine

Down here in lunchlady land

 

Well I wear this net on my head

cause my red hair is fallin out

I wear these brown orthopedic shoes

cause I got a bad case of the gout

I know you want seconds on the corndogs

But theres no reason to shout

Everybody gets enough food

Down here in lunchlady land

 

Well yesterdays meatloaf is todays sloppy joes

And my breath reeks of tuna

And theres lots of black hairs coming out of my nose

In lunchlady land your dreams come true

Clouds made of carrots and peas

Mountains built of shepherds pie

And rivers made of macaroni and cheese

But dont forget to return your trays

And try to ignore my gum disease

No student can escape the magic of lunchlady land

 

Hoagies & grinders, hoagies & grinders

Hoagies & grinders, hoagies & grinders

Navy beans, navy beans, navy beans

Hoagies & grinders, hoagies & grinders

Navy beans, navy beans

Meatloaf sandwich

Sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe

Sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe

Sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe

Sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe

 

Well I dreamt one morning

That I woke up to see

All the pepperoni pizza

Was a-looking at me

It screamed, why do you burn me

And serve me up cold

I said I got the spatula

Just do what youre told

Then the liver & onions

Started joining the fight

And the chocolate pudding

Pushed me with all its might

And the chop suey slapped me

And it kicked me in the head

Its called revenge lunchlady

Said the garlic bread

I said what did I do

To make you all so mad

They said you got flabby arms

And your breath is bad

Then the green beans said

You better run and hide

But then my friend sloppy joe came

And joined my side

He said if it wasnt for the lunchlady

The kids wouldnt eatcha

You should be shakin her hand

And sayin please to meet ya

She gives you a purpose

And she gives you a goal

You should be kissin her feet

And kissin her mole

Now all the angry foods

Just leave me alone

And we all live together

In a happy home

 

Thanks to

Sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe

Sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe

Sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe

Sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe

 

[spoken]

Well me & sloppy joe got married

We got six kids and were doing just fine

Down in lunchlady land

I don't think we have ever bought anything there except for that bread with the garlic and olive oil on it.

There is still something special about homemade sloppy joes. Sure, they aren't complicated. But I'll be damned if they aren't tasty and filling. Tater tots round out the meal nicely.

 

We had chicken tacos with homemade guacomole.

[aricandover]

I love sloppy joes.

 

 

for dinner tonight I had two pieces of cod, broccoli and a slice of bread.

[Lammycat]

I had falafals with tomato, lettuce, and bleu cheese dressing. I'm surprised I was able to down two after subsiding on them almost exclusively every few months in the 80s.

[Twisted Acres]

the sloppy joes were terrific, with enough left over for lunch tomorrow. Steamed some asparagus too. Cod sounds mighty tempting Kris, and homemade guacamole will always hold a special place for this avocado freak.

Not sure about the time..but DNB is on the speakers, so it'll probably have to involve hot sauce.

(New York - WABC, March 5, 2007) - After almost 80 years in business, one of the city's more popular pizzeria's remains closed today. John's on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village was cited for health code violations over the weekend.

 

Eyewitness News reporter Jeff Rossen is live in Greenwich Village with the story.

The health department closed the pizzeria down Thursday night. Now, the owner says the New York City Department of Health is just trying to target restaurants for minor violations, ever since the rat fiasco at KFC/Taco Bell.

 

The mixer is still, the oven is off at John's Pizzeria in Greenwich Village, shut down by the New York City health department.

 

The first violation is for not having a sink near the pizza oven. Today, workers moved to put one in.

 

"We been open for 77 years," restaurant owner Robert Vittoria said. "If they would of came to us even 20 years ago and said 'sir you needed a sink,' don't you think I would of put in a sink? They never said a word that we needed a sink."

 

The next violation was no lids on garbage cans in the restrooms.

 

And in the basement, the other violation was for holes in the ceiling.

 

"There was a hole about, maybe approximately six inches," he said. "But we covered the whole thing and we put the foam all around the pipes and we covered everything."

 

He says health inspectors dropped the ball at the KFC/Taco Bell last month, you know the one with the "rats gone wild".

It was an embarrassment for the city's health department. Vittoria says they are trying to make an example of other restaurants.

 

"I think this is just like a 'witch hunt,' he said. "Something went wrong with a couple of inspectors and they want to really get on everybody down here."

 

According to inspection reports in 2005 and 2006, there was evidence of mice in the pizza shop.

 

Not this time, and customers want John's to be open again.

 

"I've never had any problems here whatsoever, not even in the bathrooms. And so if he thinks this personal, he maybe right," said one customer.

 

Another restaurant just three doors down was also shut down for health code violations this past week. The obvious to the health department we had was, is this a trend. Are inspectors shutting down more restaurants just to be safe? Officials say neither inspections or closures have spiked in recent weeks. They say there were more closures in January of 2007, before the rat fiasco, than there were in February.
