The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for May 09, 2015

To catch a thief. Hence Joy’s huge purse. Joy knows her clientele so she checks the flatware when they leave. And you can rest assured that they’ll never see actual silver; either plastic or cheap (semi) stainless, the plastic from the Dollar Dump or what they get from fast food joints and the stainless they steal from various greasy spoons. The Cracker Barrel set was an anniversary gift from Ma, who taught Joy and Verla everything they know.

Anybody who eats at Cracker Barrel…..well we ate there once. It was in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico. There wasn’t another place to eat within 100 miles. You first have to run the gauntlet of a huge gift shop, and then wait forever and then you are seated reallllly close to the next table, and then eat mediocre slop. Why you’d want a reminder of all that is beyond me.They do serve huge portions, so it is right up the Penny’s alley.

I guess I could feel fortunate that we don’t have a Cracker Barrel around here. But, we do have Deny’s…

I thought I smelled a noxious aroma of someone’s lingering B.O. the last time I was in a Cracker Barrel. What smells? Oh, they left…….3 days ago…….

I have always had a pleasant experience at CB. The food is always good and hot, real maple syrup (not that sugary stuff), root beer in a chilled mug, plus a table game that repeatedly tells me I am a genius.

Cracker Barrel…the BEST pancakes in the entire world!

Well aren’t you a little sunshine this morning!

It’s not just that the Penny’s are worse it’s more so that they are better.
