For lunch, it was pizza at home, but for dinner we have a Papa Russ’s Big Platter that we are taking over to the Butler’s house for the MMC monthly meeting and game night. Chopped brisket & pulled pork with sides of baked beans & hash brown casserole. Corn bread muffins to mop up the plate.

Don’t Be Lax, Report Suspicious Acts.

There are signs proclaiming this on each of the two roads we used Thursday and yesterday when we passed close by and through the secret bomb plant south of town. I guess that is supposed to be the 21st century equivalent of “Loose Lips, Sinks Ships.”

Lunch at Zaxby’s. We split a large Wings & Things and had our own small waters to drink.

Aside from lunch and the grocery shopping immediately after, I ventured no further from the couch than the garage today.

Started up, still up.

Original Blogger

I read somewhere where Doogie Howser is considered the first blogger, well I just finished watching Operation Petticoat and I think Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman has him beat by 30 years. Well, maybe not, Doogie had a PC and Matt was just an analog blogger…

Breakfast was two blueberry muffins from Country Morning Bakery in Ridgeland that we bought while passing through yesterday.

Bagels Baby

Yesterday we had the foresight to buy our breakfast for today from Stuffy’s Stubby’s Gruby’s New York Deli. Sesame bagel for her, everything bagel for him and a side of cream cheese.

This is also a favored lunch place on Hilton Head Island for us. Quintessential northeast Deli experience in the heart of the SC Lowcountry. They serve over stuffed sandwiches named after NYC landmarks that are worth twice what they charge. Plus you can get sliced deli meats and cheeses to take home too if you want. Don’t miss this place if you find yourself on HHI.

Noumitsu Mizugiwa

When Donna and I went for our 2 mile walk on the beach this afternoon we must have passed about 20 people! Man, that is one noumitsu mizugiwa! (which I hope means crowded beach in Japanese) 😉

Lunch was at Donna’s favorite Japanese place, Hinoki of Kurama. Katsudon and a Coke for him and a Bento Box with Sprite for her.
