I just got back from the baseball game. I was annoyed earlier because my dad didn't really factor in gameday and construction traffic when he decided what time he wanted to leave. I took us almost an hour to go maybe 6 miles. There was also a broken down vehicle in the middle of the highway adding to the backup. By the time we got to our seats it was the middle of the 3rd inning.
Edie, if you're still around, I'm game if you are.

That is what I had for lunch. Now I'm cranky. I think that is why I don't want to go out. Maybe after some 'real food' I will get a second wind. Tomorrow is my only day of the week I can sleep in.
Which by the way I ordered sushi.
Side note: We changed Chef's food. OMG, his gas is just beyond bad. Maybe I need to switch it back.
What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests. Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

I knew about the construction. My dad just forgot about it. The broken down car was right before the Fort Pitt tunnel where the four lanes merge down to two.

Random question - Has anyone heard of the sandwich place Capriotti's?

Well back when I lived in DE is was a local place. Maybe 3-5 shops.
They have my favorite sandwich, the Bobbie. I talk about it all the time to people. I was surprised today to find they have places around the country (not in every state though). Closest one to me is in Plano.
Now I can't stop craving one of their Bobbie sandwiches.

The Boobie is a wonderful fresh hoagie (sub) roll. Stuffed with real oven roasted turkey (not deli meat), stuffing, crandberry and light mayo.
It's basically Thanksgiving on a roll.
Amazing.
