We actually finished off the Popeye’s chicken tonight! I deboned and skinned it last night, and made chicken salad with it.

.and coincidentally served Mom’s on the last piece of pita we had, lightly toasted. (Mine was on toasted white.)

Were those thick or like the thin pocket style?

Idk they're around a cm thick on the edge probably slightly less. 1/3rd of an inch.

If you trim them they fit in the roster, because we do 4 at once I use the grill.

Offcuts get used as dipping sticks for hummus while waiting to grill the main pockes.

That’s on the thicker side, FWIW, The thinner pocket style, you’d measure those in mm.

They're thin in the middle on the edges a bit thicker.

One split because it was thin. The "crust"/edge is 10mm at least.

Bugging me now.



Butter knife for scale.

Yeah, that’s the thick ones. When I say thin, I mean several of them would stack to make the thickness of one of those. I mean the pockets look so flimsy when open, you’d expect them to fall apart…and some do.

Food week day 3.


Daily specials.

Bat out of Hell grilled sandwich. Wife had the philly cheese steak. We both though the Bat was the nicer one.


The cheese roll had a mix of cheese in it and was ultra cheesy and garlic in it.

Carb overload. Had pictures of Jacinda on the walls.

We did Japanese takeout tonight from a place we haven’t been to in years. The location has been home to a few different Japanese places over the years, and the latest one has been hit or miss.

We split some shrimp and veggie tempura, plus each of us had some other “sides”- I went with some miso soup, tuna sashimi, and seaweed salad. I have to say, tonight’s meal was definitely a hit. Mom commented that the tempura was better than the last place she had it.

(Unfortunately, neither of us can remember where that was.)

Flat white, mulled wine, Irish coffee? Not to far from my hometown. Used to go up there


Facilities are a bit sparse imho. 318km away but it's a 4 hour drive apparently.

Other stuff. Place was busy right before lunch rush ona Friday afternoon. It's over the road from the restaurant stuff I was posting earlier in the week.

It's about a mile from my place and we go there for Saturday family lunch.

@Dannyalcatraz no American would eat any of this stuff right? Lack of cupcakes and cheese?
