The Tour of All Restaurants....

In SouthEastern Connecticut Has Begun! This can only mean that my mother is here visiting. She does not eat at home, so whenever she is here, we out nearly every single meal. This will sometimes include both lunch and dinner (like today: Wendy's and Applebee's). Last night was Chinese take out. Not sure what the rest of the week will bring, but usually we make a tour of the rest of the local diners, although she has been mourning the loss of Bickford's because they had 'real potato pancakes'. It's kind a funny because we rarely ever eat out (usually only chinese take out 1-2 times a month, and an ocassional Sunday brunch with g'ma), so the last time she was here, we went to go to Bickford's and discovered that they had closed, so then she suggested we try Troy's Family Diner over near Walmart, we drove over there and discovered that they had closed (to make room for the new Lowe's - what I later learned was that they had reopened in another location), then went to go somewhere else, and I think that was closed also (but I can't remember which it was), we ended up at JR's in Waterford that night. She just couldn't get over the fact that I didn't even know that these placed had been closed for a while. Cracks me up.
