Today’s Question(s): If I were to visit your city/town/village/countryside, what local or regional delicacy should I be sure to try while I’m there? Anchorage is not really known for any special delicacy. Most of the Mom and Pop resturants have disappeared and national chains have replaced them.
Is there a particular restaurant (or perhaps someone’s kitchen) where I should go for *the best* example of said delicacy? You would need to eat at Mooses Tooth Pizza at least once. Also if you are in need of a most excellent, truly greasy burger then stop by the White Spot. They also have a very good halibut sandwich.
Bonus Question:
The next time I go to the Question Of The Day, they had better not try to give us fill in the blank questions again!
Extra Credit Question:
What invention do you wish some bright youngster would come up with? Windshield wiper blades that snow, ice and dirt really won't stick to.
Something told me to check for the QOD before I head to bed. Thanks MWBW great questions.
If I were to visit your city/town/village/countryside, what local or regional delicacy should I be sure to try while I’m there?
Breaded pork tenderloins they are as big as a salad plate.
Sugar Cream pie
Is there a particular restaurant (or perhaps someone’s kitchen) where I should go for *the best* example of said delicacy?
School or church fundraiser dinners are the best place to get the hand breaded tenderloins. Come on over to my house I'll bake ya a sugar cream pie.
The next time I go to the gas station, they had better not try to raise the price 8 cents then lower it by 2 cents again!
What invention do you wish some bright youngster would come up with?
Something you could sprinkle between rows in the garden so weeds would never grow. Of course it can not harm my veggie plants though.
Good night you night owls and good morning to all that come behind me.
Grits. And, because almost everything is a chain right in my suburb, the best restaurant to eat the grits in is the Waffle House. I realize they are also a chain, but their grits are authentic southern grits -- not instant grits (yuk!).
The next time I go to the grocery store, they had better not try to move the pimentoes around again where I can't find them!
A quick way to mop with a brush that actually scrubs the dirt. These "mopping systems" don't cut it. Mopping is my least favorite household job.

Bonus Question:
The next time I go to the airport, they had better not try to strip search me again!
Extra Credit Question:
What invention do you wish some bright youngster would come up with? A time transporter that would take me instantly to anywhere in the universe. Like, uh, to see if there really is a man, or woman, in the Moon, or if Pluto really came from Disneyland. Sensible things like that.Oh, hey, how about a do it yourself colonoscopy kit. That would really put me out there in Uranus, that's a planet you know..
Today’s Question(s): If I were to visit your city/town/village/countryside, what local or regional delicacy should I be sure to try while I’m there? Ummm....I'm Southern so anything fried!!
