Can anyone enlighten me as why the Italian Restaurants no longer serve Ziti? In its place is now another shaped pasta known as Penne. As far as I’m concerned it’s just not the same. Although the taste & nutrition value are basically alike it’s just not Ziti . A while back I took issue with the waiter his responce was its really no difference. I said then why don’t you serve shells in that case. Even in the Supermarkets you would be hard pressed to find a box of Ziti & if you do its a very small sized variety.
At one time resturants & take outs were serving a “Veal Patty “in place of Veal Cutlet …My father who ate Veal nearly every day complained loudly at every Eatery that replaced a Veal Cutlet with a Patty…A law was passed saying that a restaurant must tell you that in advance whenever anyone orders Veal Cutlet (at least in N.Y.C.)
Another food that resturants tried to slip by you was Turkey Roll (a compressed product made with Gelatin ).I know a member of my family who went ballistic when she orderd a Hot Open Turkey Sandwich & was served Turkey Roll in its place… She yelled at the poor waiter as if he just cheated her out of her life savings , Her yelling was reminiscent of the way N.Y. Yankee Manager Lou Penella used to yell at the Umpire..right in his face. Bottom line when someone orders Baked Ziti that’s exactly what should be served to them.
I know for a fact that the FBI has a Database on each and every sole of any given pair of shoes that are sold nationwide.
Every shoe sole has a distinctly different pattern from one another though we never really notice that ,That’s how the police knew back in the OJ Simpson trial that the shoe imprints were made from Bruno Magli shoes and that OJ Simpson owned a pair of that brand if shoes. So his pair of Bruno Magli’s were then compared to the FBI ‘s data base of shoes & found to be a match. I happen to know about the Shoe Sole Database for a fact because my father was a Skiver in a Shoe Factory & it was a well know fact among workers in the Shoe Industry .
However ever wonder if all Dentists do the same with our dental X-rays ? When ever a body is found in a Police investigation we all read that Their teeth were matched up with dental records. .Well if this is so then the only logical answer is that Dentists must be doing the same as the Shoe industry. Since there are literally tens of thousands of Dentists nationwide & that has to be the only logical answer as to how they can match up the deceased Teeth to an X-Ray /end
If you light up a cigarette in a restaurant not only will they throw you out but proberly call the cops as well and you’ll either be carted away or receive a hefty fine or both and guess what?They will still stick you with the check for the meal…
However the shame of it is what you can sit there and fart and they can’t do a damm thing to you.Yes its true while smoking is outlawed Farting is 100% acceptable in your favorite eatery. I was recently in a Thai restaurant sitting in the back next to last booth when all of a sudden in the booth behind me let one rip..Needless to say it ruined my meal.
I would have preferred someone smoking a big white owl and there was nothing the waiter could do. Another injustice in the world is that if you spit on the subway platform you’ll get a $350 fine but if you puke there is no fine at all. Always carry a can of air freshener with you..It was at the end of the meal that I discovered it was the waiter who was cutting the cheese. End Of story he got squat for a tip. He should have farted in the men’s room to begin with.. Remember No Smoking but Farting is acceptable in any eatery./end
Those who grew 60 years ago in the 1950-1960’s they knew just by looking at someone if he was a tough sort..There was no mistake about it. There was diffidently“Tough Look”..We all could spot it right away. The cigarette dangling from the lips,hair slicked back, a pack of Luckies rolled up in the shoulder of their tee shirt. You knew not to start with that person.
Today I was watching Mixed martial arts on T.V. the fighters looked like milk toasts, Mild mannered “Clark Kent” Style But make no mistake about it..they can kick your A-s .from here to next week and in a matter of minutes can do plenty damage.I witnessed one of these “Milk Toasts”give someone a colliflower ear in less than a minute. Years ago nobody would even have the given a remote thought that they were though guys.Times have changed. The dangling cigarette was a tough look today the cigarette has been replaced by a Pacifier.
Even among woman we all spotted as the old folks would say was a trampy look. Everyone knew what a cheap Nafka, Cordva, Boutona looked like. There was absolutely no mistaking when anyone was in the presence of a real whoa (whore) .
Todays woman have a sweet demure look about them hardy the trampy look of old even when they been around the block a thousand times .Yes times have changed. Bottom line don’t mouth off to nerdy looking guy.
The MLB commisssioner as well as the NFL commissioner should issue an edict that each and every major league team should come up with a new name for their Team that no longer included then name nickname or anything related to American Indians. That should include names such as ‘The Braves’ The Tribe “as well as The Indians” Its beyond politicaly correctness at this juncture in time & its just down right not nice…Also included should be the name ”Padres” what if a team was named ”Rabbis’ I personally wittnessed Olympic Skaters proforming outfits using Holocaust prisoners uniforms as custume themes . What if a team was using such names as The N.Y. Jews or The Philadelphia Italians we would see the folly in the names right away .I feel it high time for a time for a change..I think originally when the names came to be no bias, perjarative or ill will was intended …but this is today & and a fund should be set up by the Commissioners office to pay for any & all costs that may be incured when a perspective team changes it’s name due to this ruling. Bottom line…. ITS GOT TO GO !
Whenever I see commercials for restaurants and products all the time and this I will tell you from experience and common sense..The Better the commercial the crappier the product.
I see Olive Garden…the best advertising ever,same goes for Panera and McDonalds..but beware..I always say with all the fabulous Italian Eateries in the Metro N.Y.area why would anyone sober choose this place?….If I was in a famine area starting to death and some came up to me & said “Here Have Some Olive Garden” I would say “No Thanks I’ll starve”..Same goes for Dominos and all those chain pizza places…Ever see the Dominos commercial? That’s the most ugliest crust that I ever saw..it looks like a burnt Boboli Crust. Unfortunately the list goes on & on sad to say most folks don’t care..If the public would walk out after their meal & leave the dinner plate basically uneaten then maybe the boss would get get the message & say “Gee maybe I need a new chef or some different recipes, but if everyone is licking their plates clean then why should they change? Good places rely on word of mouth to further their reputation as a great place… So remember the Better the commercial the l lousier the place or product !
We would like to find the answer what’s wrong with all the zippers on today’s jackets? Why are they faulty? Zippers separating from the track mid way down making it a hassle to some how zipper it all the way up .
This never occurred years ago in the 1950″s. To the 1980″s.Whether the Zipper is either plastic or metal it doesn’t seem to matter.Its not a workable item today anymore..
Then there is the dual Zipper. I’ve yet been able to master its proper way of use. \Worse yet why in the world do some manufacturers reverse the zipper on the left side instead of the right. Are these reverse Zippered intended for Foreign Markets outside the U.S. or intended for Left Handed Individuals ?
By the way it runs about $35 to either repair or replace a Jacket Zipper. My advise to you is buy a jacket with buttons if your able to find one
How many folks reading this post have ever been craped on by the Office manager of your Doctor’s office? Sooner or later we will all feel the Office Manager’s rath. They are rude, nasty, Disrespectful and downright inconsiderate. Do the Doctors accually know how they are treating their patients? Some do some don’t Doctors generally give their office staff a certain amount of autonomy.Having said that every businessman will tell you that if anybody in their employ had that miserable attitude,they would be shown the door. Somehow It seems to bypass Doctors. I had a wonderful Doctor..However l will no longer go to him due to the office managers attitude
Can anybody enlightened me as to what is the mystique of Sriracha condiment and Salted Carmel? I tried this Sriraacha sauce..its a big zero ..nothing to wright home about .. a mediocre second-rate preparation if I ever saw one.Yet every place is on the Sriracha bandwagon.. Why ? I personally would take a Tabasco style sauce any day, Franks Red Hot or El Tappatio etc. I went to a famous Sea Food restaurant & ordered Sriracha Shrimp all it was shrimp with some Sriiracha sauce squeezed on it..This is cooking ? My favorite is a Vietnamese preparation Sambal Oelek (more like a pastes than a sauce),.Someone must own stock in some sort of Sriracha farm perhaps it’s their reason for pushing this product big time. Then their is Sriracha’s good friend “Salted Carmel”again someone must own stock in Carmel production because it’s all over the place.. why every shmuck and his brother are selling the same food product that has or is ‘Salted Carmel’ You be the Judge is it worth anything? We say no
Don’t watch reruns of Hogans Heros.The false portrayal of POW’S is downright insulting to our men and woman who served in the Armed Forces and were POW”S.When you see the old T.V. series Hogan’ s Heros starring Bob Crane,Richard Dawson it paints a false picture of all fun and games for the POW’S.They all appear to be having a great time of fun and camaraderie..This is the furthest from the truth for the WWII German POW Camp inside a German Stalag or The Hanoi Hilton or for the Poor Souls who endured the Bataan Death March of WWII and if they survived that they were led to a Japanese POW camp.
I personally had an Uncle who was an American serviceman captured in North Africa by Romels invading Army and sent to a German Stalag. The beatings the Torture and stuff that went there that we can’t even begin to print here. There was even a POW WWII movie starring Peter Graves,Harvey Lembrick & William Holden..Much if the same false picture being portrayed.It was far from the reality of a POW camp ..Once again it was all fun & games in the Pow camp just like as “The Hogan’s Heroes” T.V.Show.
Whenever you see a War movie and you see the soldiers wearing official U.S. Army uniforms or even referring to themselves as U.S Army they enjoy the complete blessing and approval of the Pentagon .Even when portraying a Post Office Employee for that matter and they are in shown wearing official Post office attire be rest assured it has the complete blessing & approval of UNCLE SAM as well. In other words perhaps our government wants this image to be shown as to soften what is the true reality of war is really like.
If Uncle Sam dislikes the content of the script in any way shape, manner or form then it doesn’t give its approval to use official U.S. Uniform & insignia’s in that particular film. I saw many 3 stooges clips and the U.S.Army didn’t approve of their portrayal of The Army & they had to use non official UNIFORMS & badges in their films ..DO NOT FEED INTO THIS GROSS DECEPTION OF THE THAT THEY ARE PRESENTING.
DO NOT WATCH IT WHEN ITS IN SYNDICATION & REFRAIN FROM BUYING ANYTHING THAT THE SPONSOS SELLS.
