Short Stack

I had a hankering for diner food yesterday and the Pine Cone has a restaurant on Stoughton Road right next to Token Creek County Park. There was a new batch of young waitresses working and that's rarely good.
You want a career waitress named Bev who calls you, "Hon" not someone who doesn't know the difference between a short stack and silver dollar pancakes.

"Anyone know what a short stack is? And how do I use this ink stick?"

My mother thought we were in Johnson Creek, the preferred Pine Cone

I find diner grape juice irresistible

Not a short stack

Just before I was told to stop. taking. pictures. Look at the size of that BLT

    1. It was a monster and my mother could only eat half which was still a feat. Ha, that's my almost 93-year-old mother but she's in better shape than me! You too, my friend, this is going to be a very difficult one. I'm trying to get a time for my cousin to pick up Dexter between typing this.

    2. Did he really take Dexter with him?
      Stay strong girl ... Hugs!

    3. Ella, he is taking him tomorrow and I can't think of anything else to say to persuade him not to. I've been a stupid wreck for the last few days and not sure how I'll get through it tmw morning. Thanks for the thoughts.

    1. I know, I had to get a Reuben today to beat it, lol. I guess we never grow out of loving grape juice.

  9. That BLT looks impressive, but I'm more attracted to the grape juice, how delicious that looks.

  12. Wow, what an amazing BLT, but you got me at the grape juice...now I want to travel to Wisconsin to try some, but I would not be happy if one of those brand-new waitresses gave me wine instead.
    Enjoyed this post!

    1. Yeah, I remember watching grape juice spray happily over those old fashioned juice machines and I knew I was hooked. It looked so pure and cold and grapey. Ha, never trust a twenty something working at a diner I say.

  13. Will you.please. Stop.making.me.hungry. Do I have the voice as well as the hair color of your mom? Good!

    1. Ha, I know my sister and I sound alike, but don't really think my mother and I have the same voice. She is a writer though but her writing voice and mine are night and day too. Nope, I've got plenty of white hairs popping through but I've got light brown hair and it's always been curlier than hers. I didn't photograph the tremendous triple cheese burger I had today when we hit the Lake Mills Culvers.

  14. Hi Jeanna, how you got that photo of unexperienced waitress I don't know, but nuce one *evil laugh*. It's nice to see you airiung out your Mum again, but I need to know... Did she polish off that whole sandwich or did the sandwich get the better of her?... I have no idea what a short stack of pancakes is but I'm guessing a dinky pile. Do you really eat bacon with pancakes dolloped with ice cream?... Interesting...

    Thank you for linking up with #keepingitreal.

    1. Ha, I did get lucky with that one, I guess you never know when someone will be mad or glad or just tolerate one's snap happy proclivities. I've seen her polish off much more than my fat arse an at one sitting but this one she ate half of and took the rest home. A short stack is usually a smaller stack of 2 or 3 pancakes. (Yes, a dinky pile, lol.)
      I had to read that last bit twice, haaaa, no, that's butter, it's Wisconsin after all, cows and cholesterol.

  15. That's quite some BLT!

    Who told you to stop taking pictures? If I take my Mum out for the day or for a meal, she actively encourages me to take pictures! :D

    1. It is indeed, Nikki-ann. My mom was the one telling me, she's not a fan of getting her photo taken, lol. A big hug and thumbs up to your mum.
