You are just too funny woman! I’ve missed coming here. Metal lunch boxes, wow! Talk about a blast from the past…you know I used to have one back when I was…and I used to…hee hee, couldn’t resist that one. Thanks for the warning. We go back and visit family on occasion and will keep this place in mind.

I guess that restaurant and I have King Tut in common . . . AAAAH-HAHAHAHAHA! Are you laughing as hard as I am? I am such a R.I.O.T.!
I’d put pecan sandies in that pelican cookie jar. You know, for the beach connection? AAAAH-HAHAHAHAHA! You are dying right now, aren’t you?

What a great place. It’s places like that that add some flavor to our cookie cutter country.

I’m not a big fan of apricots in their natural state…why would you want to eat them all dolled up and pretending to be something else. However hungry or not…I’m ALWAYS stopping for an In and Out. I just wish they had them out here in the East!!!

I may have to take that horrific drive just to visit this Apricot Tree haven. According to my friends, I like to eat crap. I love cafeteria food. I love food machine food. I love airplane food. I love hospital food. So, it would make sense that I would like that Whatever Platter.
… I just may have to try it…

My brother lives in Coalinga. And he’s mighty sick of it. Can you say “Godforsaken”?

I had a Campus Queen lunch box that I sold on ebay for $65. It had a game on the back and had magnetic game pieces. Sometimes I wish I still had it, but the money was more useful.

You didn’t read the fine print on the sign. It says “Finest Scholck West of Wall Drug”.

Wow, things have changed! Back when my boyfriend was in Sacto and I went to school in San Diego (yeah don’t even count the years) there was NOTHING on I-5 between the 2 except Anderson’s Split Pea Soup. I remember making the trip during gas rationing (yeah it was THAT long ago) and had to wait in line (on the odd numbered day) for at least two hours to get gas. The boyfriend wasn’t worth it either.

I’m not a big fan of apricots in general, but I do love those lunch boxes. I was going to go on and on about my Peanuts metal lunchbox that I still have, but never mind

I must have that pelican cookie jar!
I’m kidding.
Though it would be a good conversation piece. People would be all, “Oh, interesting jar!” and I’d be all, “Yes. Pelican’s rock!”
Those lunchboxes are awesome. I had a Barbie lunchbox when I was little.
Oh and regarding your note on my blog: I’m really tempted to send that second letter. If my husband calls me up and mentions being able to go downtown to RELAX over the weekend then I might. Because what’s this relaxing business and where can I get some??

My brother-in-law has a big collection of lunchboxes and thermoses (thermi?), but not that big. He and my nephew even took a road trip to the Lunchbox Museum in Columbus, GA.
On another note, have you ever heard of Lambert’s Cafe, the Home of the Throwed Roll? http://www.throwedrolls.com/ There is also (or used to be) a restaurant in Arizona, I think, where the waiters would cut off men’s… ties, and hang them on the wall.
It would be fun to run some kind of contest where people could write in about the strangest restaurants they’ve seen. Why don’t you get right on that?
