UnfinishedDude- Hey, when you find something you love like that, who can complain?!

Me-Me King- Admittedly, if you're tall in particular, the sneeze guard does make you do a bit of a limbo to reach things. But I guess I prefer that to the alternative... (yipes).

Diesel- You'll have to treat us to a WAV file rendition sometime-- heh-heh-heh....

Drowsey- It still was lovely the second time around on Friday, I have to say.

Dead Rooster- Ha, pay no attention to that man behind that curtain!-- I wrote this on Thursday! I haven't actually seen the original Wizard of Oz for quite a few years. I probably SHOULD watch it again, though. It was always a fave.

You know what I think? I think you watched the Wiz...

2008-11-15T20:44:50.888-05:00

You know what I think? I think you watched the Wizard of Oz on either TBS or TNT last night (it was on both). THAT'S what I think.

Oh it sounds heavenly ... and colourful!

I used to amuse my wife by reciting all of the items at the checkout stand to the tune of "These are a Few of My Favorite Things."

Nothing like a great salad bar. I just hate it, though, when the sneeze guard gets in the way of my grazing!

2008-11-15T11:07:57.027-05:00

Salads: don't get me started. I love the SW Chicken Salad at Weis, which I get religiously every Wednesday when they're on sale. No onions, but with Ken's Chipotle Ranch sauce (unavailable retail, that bastard Ken), the best salad ever. Do I sound a little obsessed? I am.

2008-11-15T07:59:01.539-05:00

Jay- I'll leave that for a Willy Wonka spoof someday. :) One parody at a time, dear Jay... One parody at a time. :)

Greg- Erm, yes, I get your meaning, bub. But I assure you this was 100% mushroom free. Anyway, THAT would be an Alice in Wonderland spoof, wouldn't it? :)

Tiffany- Heh- only if Disney princesses now are on the chunky side and wear a lot of black. :)

2008-11-14T20:11:56.077-05:00

I'm picturing you like a Disney princess, dancing around the salad bar and singing a cheery song while little birds flutter around the corners and chirp in harmony...

2008-11-14T20:05:45.456-05:00

Oh, this was delightful...but one might infer from all this that they have a broad variety of mushroom species, if you get my meaning. ; )

Poot.

2008-11-14T14:29:38.939-05:00

Chat Blanc- Heh, me too. I figure I'd better dwell on the small joys, like sugar snap peas. The big joys only come around once a millennium. It's good to pace ourselves. :)

Da Old Man- I think your Acme Serving Alcohol thing might just have been wishful thinking. But hey, who can blame you for trying?

2008-11-14T14:23:21.064-05:00

Acme. I used to live a half block away from one of those.
It closed and I probably haven't been in another since before salad was invented.
I had to go reread the comments. I thought one said Acme salad bars served alcohol. That would make me search one out. :)
Sadly, it just turned out that my reading skills are declining. :(

2008-11-14T14:22:15.675-05:00

It sounds dreamy! ;) I must admit I've found myself thoroughly excited about such things too. I'll take a bit of a thrill anywhere I can get it! :D

2008-11-14T13:59:24.707-05:00

Only you could write about a supermarket trip and make it so entertaining! That was a great read and I suppose I'd better stumble it now ;O)

2008-11-14T12:14:23.714-05:00

Prefers- While the alcohol might make my gray work day less so, I kinda think my clients would prefer a more sober marketing writer. I know, I know... I'm no fun! :)

ReformingGeek- They really are rare, aren't they? It was so beautiful, I ended up trying a brussel sprout (it's still a no-go on brussel sprouts by the way-- cute, but not tasty). Ah, the CAR-- now that's the best acoustics!

Tiggy- I get hungry for peanut butter, too, sometimes.

2008-11-14T12:10:58.161-05:00

I miss the salad bar in the canteen at my old company.

I'm sitting here with a wilting peanut butter and jam sandwich. Sigh.

2008-11-14T11:59:02.276-05:00

Now I have to go to the kitchen and find something healthy for lunch....Thanks for that ;-)

I have not seen a "good" salad bar in ages.

I have to limit my singing to when I'm alone in the car. Hubby has the voice in the family!

2008-11-14T11:08:41.180-05:00

I like the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday's where you can also oder alcohol.

2008-11-14T10:54:33.608-05:00

Da Old Man- Didn't Acme used to have a good one? I think I remember that.

2008-11-14T10:53:16.327-05:00

I remember when my favorite restaurant, Wendy's, (yeah, I'm a goober) took out their salad bars. They were lame, and the pudding was the best part, but it gave the appearance that I was eating something healthy. I miss them. The Shop Rite salad bar just doesn't have the same ambience.
Glad Giant Eagle is providing you with such joy.

2008-11-14T10:35:20.466-05:00

Jaffer- OH, I love olives. The new salad bar seems to have a few kinds, so that makes me happy, too.

So happy I could... SIIIINNNG!...

(Ahem) Okay. I won't do that to you folks. :)

PS- My best friend's dad LOVE the Pizza Hut salad bar. He talks about it like he'd been at some fine restaurant. "What was that place we went to again with that great salad bar?"

"Erm, Pizza Hut?"

2008-11-14T10:28:37.656-05:00

I grew up in a country at a time when the the only "real salad-bar" was seen at a Pizza-Hut.
And oh boy my Dad used to get excited over-filling his box because it was sold by size.

Other places had a "salad bar" that instead had Anti-pasto - and Saudis love 'em. They just don't have black and green olives - They want to choose between Nabali Olives, Souri Olives, Spanish Olives, California Olives, Malissi Olives...

Yep today's lunch will be at the Salad bar ! :o)

2008-11-14T10:28:03.336-05:00

Olga- They do offer that CRUNCH that somehow just does the trick. I should really get myself a bag of them and try that. I've done that with the teeny-tiny carrots before and they... well... you get carried away with them and you seriously regret it later.
