My cousins and I used to love pillsbury real cherry turnovers including dough filling and icing. They were in the refrigerated section next to the croissant dough and such.
I still enjoyed them into early adulthood when they just disappeared. But last night at Walmart while I was reaching for some croissant dough I thought I was seeing things! I cannot believe they are back! I haven't had one in ages and they are still just as good as I remembered. This seems like a small miracle to me. I'm so happy.

John and I tried to grab a falafel sandwich there today but we were pressed for time and forgot that they only take cash. Maybe tomorrow.

thanks cwdonald

Saw this in my local online paper The Distorter:

Looks almost ready for business! Anyone know how soon?

Their other location near Costco is gonna remain open but this place is packing it in. I blame the whole let's build a new shopping center right next to this other shopping center syndrome so prevalent in this neck of the woods.
The sports bar and the Boston Market seem to still be doing okay but even the dollar store bounced to Lansdale.
I will miss this place and plan to go there a few more times while I still can. They are now closed on mondays which I will have to also keep in mind. /sigh.

Me too sandyic. The organic bananas at Whole Paycheck.

Gratz on your recent purchase. Greens plus fruit. Fool around and have fun. Since I don't use any chemicals on my lawn this time of year the small new dandelion leaves make the greens part free!

Oasis in Lansdale is very good.

Had a lovely relaxed day. In my neck of the woods mother's day is alive and well. John and I went on a last minute shopping trip saturday night hitting a grocery store about ten pm and walmart about eleven. People of all ages were buying bouquets, balloons and cakes.
Since mothers' day is the biggest restaurant day of the entire year around here my family got take out. It was all planned ahead, korean fried chicken wings and watermelon slices with chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.
I did notice something interesting and it might of been a fluke but today, the day after mothers' day our favorite thai place was packed, mostly with older women. Usually this place is sleepy on mondays. Everyone seemed very happy /shrug

Thanks brooke That would explain the higher price for those tickets. John and I were planning on the VIP session but I don't think he realized food was included. I'm gonna bring some cash so I don't miss any food vendors that may not be in that section. Somewhere on last years photo gallery is even a picture of John. He doesn't look happy in it but he had a good time. :)

My friend makes me a green smoothie nearly every day, usually with kale or spinach and bananas. He is trying more raw vegan foods for the health benefits. I find them refreshing and energizing.
A couple of years ago he dragged me to a transformation class that lasted a month at the local raw cafe. The class included a free sixteen ounce smoothie each day. I went down a clothing size effortlessly and didn't even really notice til I tried on a skirt I hadn't worn in awhile and it fell off.
Juicing is a lot more work than making a smoothie but the juices he makes are great. I think the people that are annoying you are just enthusiastic Grace but I understand what you mean. People like the idea of the one true answer but "The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." For example my friend and I have been getting crispy sweet watermelons for a week or two now and enjoying them instead of juices and smoothies.
Preaching doesn't work anyway and even though I have kept the weight off I have discovered that watermelon slices and spicy korean fried chicken wings are an amazing combo he he!

Oh thanks! Just got a tasty meatball sandwich from Baked On Main a coupla weeks ago. The roll was nicely toasted and this delightful treat helped me prevail in a card tourney at Cyborg One. This time last year it was all about Coach's and their dizzying selection of fries with toppings but alas they shortened their hours.

Wow cwdonald! Where is Andres? I so am missing those croissants. The Bagel Barrel is just not the same, although it is the bestest people (and dog) watching spot in Doylestown at the tables when the weather is fine.
For those croissants I will go on a different day and take them to my favorite picnic spot in doylestown he he!

John is making me go to Brews for Books at the Indian Valley Library this year. It is not til July 20th on a sat from five to eight and there is an admission fee. II's best to sign up early as they do have to limit the number of tickets they sell. I'm posting this early in hopes that I might have some hounds to hang out with there.
The pics from last years event are on the library's website. Food is extra I believe but there will be plenty of local and not so local restaurants offering grub to soak up all that quality beer. John enjoyed Jesse's bbq from souderton last year.
On a side note I finally figured out where Jesse's is exactly in souderton so John and I will be stopping there soon.

there are lots of places to grab breakfast or coffee nearby as well. But not that croissant and cheese place any more. /sigh

That is a pretty little market there isn't it crazyspice? I do miss the croissants from the Maison to munch on while I browse. The exclusion of Tabora happened years and years ago with the original owners I think.
Tabora used to send out a quirky little newsletter and it was mentioned there. That newsletter was fun to read.

I don't get it either spottedcow. Like I mentioned earlier, Tabora was kicked out of the Doylestown farmers market years ago for some reason.

The Wizard had left Oz for the day, it was around four forty pm and i think he starts really early. I didn't ask the warm and sunny counterperson. This will just give me another excuse for a prompt return visit. Some of the quiches on the lunch board sounded amazing. More research is needed!

Stopped by Alice about four fourty pm today and I guess the Wizard had left Oz for the day but I did see a sign on the door promoting the Ambler Farmer's Market.
I love that Alice is open til six pm tues-fri. A really friendly lady cheerfully warmed up pain au chocolat for my friend and I and made me some tea. We also devoured a scone and a danish. I did not see any day old items on sale which might be a sign of their continued sucess.
Everything was amazing as always. I like that they have a selection of teas. They have redecorated a bit with vibrant yellow and orange pillows and a long bench seat along the wall. The huge flat screen tv was out of sight (thank goodness)
If I could ever get there at lunch time they have several kinds of quiches and soups that all sounded lovely.
My friend and I managed to resist the other baked goods including a tart topped with blackberries. I didn't even look at the special chocolates case. My resolve not to have a total carb meltdown can only take so much temptation! I guess we will be seeing Alice at the Ambler farmers market.

Doh. thanks!

Wow. Now I want to try Lucky Well. Any good?

At least you tried gaffk. We should all write letters or email to the editor of the Distorter. I think you can still call in too and leave a brief message on Sound Off. I once called in a rant about mayo on cheesesteaks and they printed it!
I remember back in the day when Tabora was run by different folks and they sent out newletters Tabora got booted from the Doylestown Farmer's Market. Kind of ironic. Anyway people do read the distorter still. Here is a link:

Thanks for posting Unkle. If you post this also on the Distorter online in the sound off section I will try to respond there as well. This is depressing news. I know there are two bakeries right on main street in Lansdale but come on!

I found a small seasoned package in with the ready to cook section with the soups and pizzas and such. It was ten dollars for two steaks. I've always wanted to try flap meat and the small package size was so tempting.
I added some olive oil and a little bit of kosher salt and let the steak marinate for several hours. I browned on both sides letting a crust form and then slapped the steak into my preheated convection toaster oven for about ten minutes. I let the steak rest for about five minutes and then cut against the grain on a diagonal thinly. Was great and turned out rare to medium rare.
Best of all the second steak is still marinating for a day or two. Woot.

My friend always has me pick up the kale for him. Been two years now and he has never cooked it. Green smoothies are him! (and I get some too)

That really sucks Just. I don't know what to say. A lot of people don't bother to entertain these days so it is a shame when your efforts are not appreciated or respected. I'm sorry that happened to you. I read a few more comments and showing up early is really maddening for the hosts also.
This brings back a memory of when I invited a couple over and while I was getting dressed my friend opened the door to them about twenty minutes early. To make it worse the wife had a small thoughtful gift for me but started screaming my name for me to come open it quick. Some people really are clueless. /sigh

I've seen this, usually done quickly with great energy and gusto. My only concern would be if the person was a close friend or family member and left behind a juicy chop or steak or something else midnight snack worthy, now in pieces.
I've told my one friend if you aren't going to eat it all don't mangle it as someone else might really enjoy it now or later. I can see the other point of view too though. It is their food. So I'm only horrified if something expensive and yummy gets mulched up and then discarded. But only for practical reasons. Then again many manners are based on practicality.

Salsa's in the mall is closed. There is a sign saying they will honor gift certificates at the other place in plymouth meeting or something. I wonder if another restaurant will move into that spot.

found some blueberry biscuits in the frozen section just in time for berry season. Robinhood Meetinghouse I think. You get two big trays of frozen biscuit squares all ready to bake. Delicious and convenient. I need to run back to my montgomeryville pa store and grab more!
