Hey, it's Bud!

 

Yup...just checked ...I am Bud! Hi Pat!

 

Ken, the sauce is smimmerin' and the meat ***** are a frying!

 

I'm fixin' to be sailin' before the sun goes down, right here at my desk

~ another of the advantages of retirement is that I immediately fired the DAPA

(?) You're sauced to the gills, and your WHAT are on fire?
*I'm just striving to be clear about this

 

I've got the garlic bread!!!

 

HEY - do the stores (I dunno, I guess you guys still have A&P markets, right?) in MD have frozen bread dough that you can buy if you wanna skip all of the mixing bowl routine?
I mention that because you can do all kinds of cool things with that stuff...

A roll of frozen bread dough is the fastest way to make an incredible french bread pizza crust, they fill up a 16" - 18" deep dish pizza pan EXACTOMUNDO!

IF YOU BAKE a couple of pizza crusts ahead of time like that, you can make a DOMINOES class pizza in 20 minutes flat, without any real effort at all. I think of it as making my own "BOBOLI's"

 

Actually, I think the A&P is history.....

 

Ken, we can eat 2 loaves, can't we?

 

I bet the leaves have already begun to turn, and the Rock Creek Bicycle Path is a wonderful place to explore right now.

I bet Wheaton Regional Park is a wonderland of all kinds of things that show the changes in the season, and the Botanical Gardens next to it are a place I could wander through for hours, now that I have an expanded appreciation for exotic plants of all kinds.

But I bet the Glenmont Shopping Center is still a lot the same. YOU KNOW (or you do now) that when I finally roll with my current project that the acid test cruise will be a BEELINE for Glenmont, if only to find out who that I used to know still lives.

Do they still have a miniature train at Wheaton Regional? I saw on googlemaps (satellite view) where they cut up a lot of the park over the years...

I couldn't even tell if the old ice skating rink was still there

I DID see all of the schools that I once went to. JFK, Glenallen, E. Brook Lee


I sure miss the places I used to be sometimes..................................

Maybe somebody could post up some pictures, I don't know.
That would be GREAT!

 

Heck...I can eat 2 loaves by myself...I'm bringing 3!!!

 

The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company still exists.

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


There were rumors years ago that they were going to merge with the Stop and Shop chain in MA...they were going to call it the Stop and Pee!!!

 

A&P IS Stop n Shop here!

 

Well, they USED to be here...closest S n S is in New Jersey.... and no A&P anymore, anywhere I guess. Couldn't find one on the A&P map.

 

The Corporation is still in business...they go by many names now. They used to be a force in the Northeast...pulled out about 10 years ago.

 

I stand corrected...apparently they are still in Southern CT as A&P.
