Conversations about Beer Barrel Polka| Some inspiration that might help you through the holidays | | I just received a wonderful email from a friend of mine, and I wanted to share it with everyone. I'm sure some of you have seen it before, as it's been around for a while. But I know there are others that may be reading it for the first time, and many can identify with the woman in the story. And for those of you that have different beliefs than me, feel free to adapt the story to however you believe. Enjoy, and have a great week and Thanksgiving everyone!In September 1945, I woke up one morning with seven hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket.Their father was gone .The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two.Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared.Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds.He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries.Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beatings, but no food either.If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it.I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best homemade dress,... | |
| | Hambuger Facts. | | Denny's beer barrel Pub in Clearfield, Pennsylvania has offered a 6 pound hamburger, named Ye Olde 96er (6 pounds= 96 ounces) since 1998. It comes garnished with 2 whole tomatoes, 1/2 head of lettuce, 12 slices of American cheese, a cup of peppers, 2 whole onions, plus large quantities of mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard. No one has been able to finish one.http://www.foodreference.com/html/fhamburgers.htmlI posted my favorite one here but the link has a few more. Enjoy!Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beatings, but no food either.If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it.I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best homemade dress, loaded them into the rusty old 51 Chevy and drove off to find a job.The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town.No luck.The kids stayed crammed into the car and tried to be quiet while I tried to convince who ever would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything.

| | Do you super size when you eat out? | | Talk about super sizing! After creating a hamburger that weighed over 100 pounds last year, a PA restaurant decided it's customers were hungry for a few more pounds.
The giant beef sandwich was unveiled last week at Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield weighs a whopping 123 pounds. It has 120,000 calories, an 80 pound ground beef patty, 1 pound each of lettuce, ketchup, relish, mustard,mayonnaise, 160 slices of cheese, up to 5 onions, 12 tomatoes, a couple of pounds of banana peppers wrapped in a 30 pound bun, garnished with 33 pickles and it's selling for $379! The restaurant plans to submit the paper work to the Guiness Book of World Records.
My thought is how does one eat something this big and how can it possibly be anwhere close to fresh if it was made over a week ago? | |
