Some of you may remember the story of Jeff's warm and buttery buns. If not and you want a good laugh at my husband's expense go and read it now. I'll wait...
This seems to be pick on Jeff week. Of course you all realize he was kidding about the streaking through the neighborhood, right? Sometimes you don't know how sarcasm plays via the written word.
I have just received my first BlogHer paycheck, $30. I have had the ads on the blog since August 28, 2007. Which for me is pretty good. I had google ads on my blog for 2 years and never earned more than a nickel. Which I am still waiting to be sent. As soon as I received the check Jeff started getting ideas of how to spend the money.
He was able to find a Golden Corral - his all time favorite restaurant only an hour and a half from our house. So guess where we are going to dinner tonight? For those of you not familar with the GC (Jeff speak for Golden Corral) it is an all you can eat buffet with all the free hot and buttery buns you can eat. In my opinion the food is similar to a TV dinner but to Jeff it is great. He likes my cooking, hmm, I wonder if that means anything.
The funny thing is that here close to our house we have some of the best restaurant in the world. Emeril Lagasse just opened a new restaurant here, etc. It is because of the casinos that we have these fine establishments. But, we are not going to a world renowned local restaurant to spend the $30 I earned on my blog, no we are going an hour and a half away to eat at the GC. Don't tell anyone but I am a little excited too. We happen to have a family of four and we are driving 3 hours round trip, do you think my $30 is going to cover it?

I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

I love that you're going to your husband's favorite restaurant with your first BlogHer Ad check. Love it. Enjoy yourselves. (And good luck with that whole job hunt thing - saw your twitter the other day and am thinking good thoughts for you.)
I can not believe your driving an hour and a half with a teenager and a preschooler to eat at golden coral. YUCK!!!! Save your money! But that is my opinion, so I hope you enjoy your meal even if it is at Golden Coral. When I come to visit, you and I are going to Emeril's!
Opps I meant Corral...sorry. Wanted to catch that before the Grammer police showed up...She knows who she is!
How come the grammar police didn't tell me I was spelling Mardi Gras wrong? LOL. You always have a place to stay with me. I cannot wait to try his new restaurant! One of the casinos is thinking of going smoke free, I think it is the one that has his restaurant, wouldn't that be awesome.
We call GC the "feedlot" and have always loved it. My husbands' fav is the potroast and the buttery buns, mine the salads, vegies and brownies. Oh,yes and the mushrooms braised in butter and garlic. I will start with a small scoop of mashed pots, cover it with a tablespoon of brown gravy, then of country gravy and top it with some of those mushrooms. Some broccolli and some broasted chicken, a buttery bun w/butter, a brownie top with a mound of soft serve...... I love to talk about food!
It might cover the gas. I hope that you enjoy your meal, and that Jeff gets his fill of hot buttery buns:~)
Our local GC is only 10 minutes away and yet we have yet to go. I think I'm waiting for my parents to come visit, so we can go together.
I've tagged you! Check out my site for details.
What's BlogHer? We have GC's here. My dad and son LOVE that place. TV dinner food, huh? To me that's a good way to describe it, but hey, the guys don't have to eat just one thing I make, they get a choice of fried chicken and cafeteria pizza and potato wedges. Plus soft serve ice cream for dessert. I can't compete with that.
Y'all have an Emeril's and you're not going?! I would kill to get to go to an Emeril's. Both times I visited New Orleans I tried to get a reservation for his restaurant as soon as I found out my trip dates (over a month in advance!), and both times they were booked solid.
Oh, well, I hope y'all enjoy the Golden Corral.
We have a GC here...hmmm, you live awfully close to me, I wonder if THIS is the one you came to?? LOL
congratulations on your BlogHer check! We don't have a GC here in my area, but it sounds as if it's a comforting restaurant!
Hope Jeff enjoyed the trip. It's funny how we love certain places and others in the family have to tolerate them if they love us.
Woo hoo! Golden Corral!
I've never eaten there - none in our area - but I think that sounds like a great way to spend some revenue!
I hope you had a great time, and congrats on the paycheck. We went to Old Country Buffet with my dad tonight. It is the one place I can go and not miss Leonard. He hated that place.
I gotta say that once in a while I like a little trashy Golden Corral food. Maybe it's because I get the opportunity to eat it once every decade.
There's a Golden Corral here -- are you coming here?
Congratulations on the BlogHer cheque Marsha. Hope you and your family enjoyed your meal.
