Fired for having a picture of a pint of Guinness?

It seems a Georgia teacher was asked to resign because her Facebook page included pictures in which she was hoisting a Guinness or having a glass of wine or uttering an occasional obscenity. Sounds like crap to me! I say hammer the Barrow County Board of Eduction Superintendent (rsaunders@barrow.k12.ga.us) with e-mails asking why a teacher would be asked to resign for such an innocuous act and/or picture (assuming no other personnel issues)...particularly in the absence of a policy regarding an issue of this nature.

To all who have served, are currently serving and those to come - Happy Veterans Day!!!

Other stuff? Not too much. Staying quite busy with work for right now. That nifty picture above came from here. I did take time to go have a really good omelet with Suzy at The Bluegrass Grill this morning.

I'll be ending it there. I have to get ready for work. Be well, folks!

Elephants Gerald!

So, you might wonder what a "Belgian waffle topped with Vanilla Ice Cream, Pecans in Syrup, and dusted with Cinnamon" looks like...

I have to say that this tasted phenomenal!

Aretha Frankenstein's

After a fine dinner at Bea's on Sunday night....

Breakfast is gonna be at Aretha Frankenstein's. See more in a Food Network video ($40 A Day with Rachael Ray) about their "Waffle of Insane Greatness!" here...

I think I'll be getting the Elephants Gerald...

I think I'll be hitting the treadmill while I stay up all night! Peace, y'all!

OK, so most folks are familiar with the Japanese steakhouse seating arrangement where you could be sitting right next to the grill with strangers...

What about a similar setup applied to some good old Southern cooking? If you're ever up in Chattanooga and you're REALLY hungry for some good Southern food (pulled pork, fried chicken, roast beef in brown gravy, potatoes, cole slaw, potato salad, and more) AYCE-style, check out Bea's Restaurant!

All of the food is set up on a lazy Susan in small serving dishes. You pick what you want and if you need more, one of the nice folks who work there will likely be out with it pretty quickly. The only readily available beverages are water or sweet tea. There are soda machines when you walk in the door if you have to get that fix. Plus, they offered coffee several times. Check this place out! It's been around since 1950. Keep it going for another 60 years!
