The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

I plucked about 20 of them out of this box of 250. Here are some of the “gems”, or just shit that made me laugh.
Very nice!
Oooo Max Headroom
I keyed on Art of Noise first... but enjoyed Max when it was on tv, too
Vinyl is actually making a come back
Could have some money makers in there... never know
High school French. Google can suck my nuggets
High school Spanish - unused for almost 4 decades
Yep - but GT is the free tool that fits my budget
That’s awesome!!
I think the guy originally had these owned a jukebox business
Entirely possible. The brother who owns a jukebox would enjoy picking through these with you. :LOL: Would be fun, but fruitless for me as I've no turntable of any sort. Glad you have the means to listen to the ones you like.

We have a jukebox too.

It’s a 1974 AMI. It’s a great machine but a bit glitchy.

He’s welcome to buy the boxes if he wants. I want to get these 45s a good home.
 
I love old electromechanical devices. The way they would have motors interact. Anything they can do I can do a million times more efficiently with a microcontroller and a DSP, but there was an elegance to those old machines
And although they were LARGE, the designs were appealing as well. I fell in love with my grandparents' radio from the 1930s or 40s. Cabinet style, dark wood finish. Gorgeous IMHO
 
The snow was pretty intense for most of the morning.

I cleared the driveway in late morning.

It started turning to sleet around 2 PM. I just got back in from clearing the driveway the second time.

I think we only got like 8 to 10 inches.

I still don’t understand how it can be 23° and warmer air is causing the sleet. Like how much further up in the air is that warmer air?

Weird.
As far north as we are I thought it was the Atlantic. The front off the Jersey coast directed or rather led the storm. The warm air was coming up from the Gulf of America supported by the sun. As the sun set the rain line receded back south. The warm air is naturally moving with the moisture from the gulf. Only this wall of cold air is heavier and hugs the ground.
Rain missed us too. No rain. Heavy layer of sleet on top of the snow. I had to break it up like I was using a big hoe so I could move it. Heavy. I think this qualified as heart attack snow. I got it all cleared. 15 steps and 2 platforms and all the drive. No plow, so I just pushed and threw as far out into the street as I could. Dead end and these plow drivers aren't from around here. At the end to make it look neat I got out the blower. Wish I had a push broom, I coulda made it perfect. Had to shovel white stuff so I may as well enjoy it a little. With all that solid in front of my driveway I am not going anywhere for a while. If the plow doesn't come. I will be asking for 6 months HOA dues forgiven. I jump through all their damn hoops, they best follow their own rules.
I took an alieve and am hoping for the best. I can feel it. Now just waiting for my pasta to get al dente. I made tomato gravy and drank a bottle of wine for the first game. Can't wait for it, the tall glass of milk or the cottage cheese. And that bit of pecorno romano on top... If I had a second oven I'd a made a loaf of bread. That would go good.

Sure does in my book. Glad you got it all cleared but were careful and smart about how you did it.

Ouch. Water before bed - help clear some of the wine. Warm shower and light stretches in the morning to get everything moving again.
 
Oooook... ibwas trying to put tomato chunks ina roux. I come from a place with redeye gravy, so I wasng judging, just trying to figure how that didn't just become a breaded tomato
I didn't take it as judging... we've had the "what's tomato gravy" question before.

Midwest here... never heard red sauce called gravy.
But @Wonderer67 and some others are East Coast and have edumacated us.

He even shared a recipe:
@Wonderer67 's never fail recipe for gravy/marinara sauce/sketti sauce

several spoonies have made his recipe - or one of their own - and "gravy" is mentioned often at the Cafe

I've heard of Red Eye Gravy and know enough that it's different... but have never had it and will be looking it up once I post this.

Lots of food talk - I'm always learning something new about food and cooking here.

My personal theory in it's creation... someone made a mistake, and was too hungry and in need of the coffee to say no to it
