I've been trying to duplicate that damned plate for (mumble) decades, LOL.

Of course, I also long like a dog for the olden 1970's Texas Weiner (The name of the stores, for those never blessed with a TW Chili Cheese Dog), Chili-Cheese dog. OMG....I will not say how many imitation recipes I've tried to make the "chili/sauce/gravy" to emulate those. Those stores are a thing of the past. GOD YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME STARVING!

My wife did a who chick in the air fryer the other day. I too what was left and pulled it off the carcass. Today I had some of the chicken in a sandwich with mayo and BBQ sauce. It was yummy.

We once stopped at a garden center on the way home from the airport and they had Cajun spiced fries. They were so good.

Poor Bratwurst.

I don't like apples.

Tomorrow I get the Flu and COVID vaccine. Lucky me.

You OK, Jon? Your messages are usually more intelligible than this.

Is that one dose of the combined vaccine that's been promised?

I just looked at the my state's surveillance report, the KP.3 variant has been at the top of the prevalence list for 6 months, KW.1.1 and XEC have been and gone. I think that's the longest any variant hasn't been overtaken by a new one in this state.

Given I've never had the flu or covid I wonder why I bother with the vaccinations… apart from Sod's Law.

Route 31, Route 202 and Route 12 -- I think that's the circle you want -- although there are two other circles in close proximity.

Flemington, especially around that circle, has undergone a lot of renovation in the past several years.

I don't bother with them. I'm not yet old enough or ill enough for the infections to be serious. I've presumably had covid several times (never took the test) and it's been relatively minor, like most other respiratory tract viruses going around here. No idea if I've ever had the flu.

In 10 or 20 years, I'll probably consider getting them. If I live that long, of course - you never know.

I had one in each arm two years ago.

The day after I felt under the weather, nothing new after flu/Covid vaccinations for me. But four days later I got dizzy spells, it started around 10 am and it was a constant thing; feeling dizzy followed by half a minute of not being dizzy, followed by a dizzy spell, etc. It lasted until 4 pm and then it was just suddenly gone. In the following week I felt light headed a couple of times a day.

Yesterday I felt like cr*p, today I feel better, still tired and my arm is itchy. For the first time I got a bruise where they injected the vaccine.

YES, that's the one. The movie theater was just there, right? GAHD, I loved that diner and OMG, yes, I adored the Texas Weiner spots, too. If I ate a TW Cheese-chili dog now, I'd probably keel over dead from acid reflux or something, or it would harden my arteries all by its lonesome, but just one time, before I kick ye olden bucket, I wish I could have ONE MORE. LOL.

You can't be from too far away, to know that area that well. ??? I lived there, and it's vague for me, even though it's been (cough) decades since then (sigh, 5? Oish.) You ever patronize that diner?
