Thank you all! I'm passing along the info!

Thanks! It doesn't sound particularly tasty to me, but I'll pass it along to my friend!

I received this message from a friend:
My son was stationed in Korea for two years and is being xferred back to the states and is currently home on leave. I asked him what he would like me to have in the house for him while he was home and he requested Banana Milk.I told him that I never heard of it. I've heard of Banana Shakes but not just plain Banana Milk. He said that it's a common drink in Korea and he's hooked on it.
Does anyone have a recipe that might be reasonably authentic, but with ingredients readily available in the US?
Thanks!!

Those of you closer to that area than I, aren't there a couple of Ethopian places not far from there?
And BTW, I second the recommendation of Fora!

If you don't say anything (tactfully) and just don't go back, how will they know that they need to fix a problem?
-
What kind of food/price range?
-
Thanks, Katie Nell! Yes, I do know BoBo's, but not the others--haven't been to Topeka in about 2 years. I love Topeka!! My sister and her husband think I'm nuts, but I just think it's a cute little city!
-
Yes, please talk about all of these places. I've just booked my trip to KC for mid-October. I'll be looking for new places to try*!!
*Including Lawrence and Topeka--my sister lives in Topeka and I'm sure we'll be back and forth.

What happens to the cheese that melts and runs out the bottom of the sandwich?
-
I 'm not familiar with your area, but if you can find a nice Ethopian restaurant that does the elegant coffee service after dinner, your date will be soooo impressed. These places are usually not expensive.

I'm sure it wouldn't take a ton of experimentation to come up with a homemade rub/seasoning mix/whatever that works better than the commercial, shelf-stable, preserved, overly salty, laden with MSG, packaged variety. Here are the Lipton ingredients:Onions, Salt, Cornstarch, Onion Powder, Sugar, Corn Syrup Solids, Caramel Color, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Yeast Extract, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural Flavors, Disodium Inosinate And Disodium Guanylate.
I haven't ever tried it, but somewhere I have a recipe for a homemade version. If I can find it easily enough I'll post it later.

I thought the new restrictions prohibited food of any sort, but I may be mistaken.
-
Sorry! I just really hate the traffic these days.
-
Harumph! I'm putting in a vote for Orange County!

I've never tried Metromint water, but I did buy a bottle of organic peppermint extract at Trader Joe's and sometimes add a drop (it doesn't take much!) to my glass of water. Very refreshing!

It's a bit southwest of Pasadena, but you can't leave SoCal without having a date shake while overlooking Crystal Cove. The Shake Shack was recently sold to the Ruby's chain, but I understand that they inherited the old recipes.
-
You didn't call and ask? I would have! Guess that's just me...
I've had strange things happen with take-out and always let them know--which-ever way it went--my favor or theirs. If it was your restaurant/franchise and someone was messing up orders, wouldn't you want to know?
I'm not in the restaurant biz, but I'd most certainly want to know about a problem in whatever business I happened to be in.

u.e., sadly I think the weather is roughly the same throughout the country. We had our coolest day in some time today--high of around 85. Plus our humidity is creeping up there, too. I'll not turn this into a global warming/what-in-the-world-will-we-do thread. Just know that it's not a whole lot better here near the Pacific Ocean than it is there.
If I can work it out (work-wise), I'd love to come back there in late October--my favorite time of year!!!
-
Sorry, I refuse to visit the mid-west at this time of year, so can't tell you about markets.
Just got an invitation for a high school reunion in August. I only come to Missouri in August if someone dear to me is dying.
Now mind you, I'm usually only there at Christmas time these days and that's not my favorite time either! I'm a Spring/Fall mid-west visitor!!!

Looking for a dependable, yet affordable, pair of garden clogs. Any clue where I might get a pair locally. I avoid online ordering of clothing, as I'm an oddly shaped fellow.
u.e.
I'd try the place in the River Market area--Planter's, I think it's called--haven't been there in so long I can't remember! I think it's on 5th Street.

I'm a SoCal person (non-native, born in KCMO and moved around from mid-west to Boston and SoCal) and don't know much of what you just saw/experienced out here in the Northern areas. My only comment can be that if you weren't aware, Watsonville was nearly completely destroyed by an earthquake around 15-20 years ago. Being a small community to begin with, I'm sure it has taken quite some years to rebuild the area. Especially since it's not a "hub" anyway.

I'll be living vicariously through this thread. I adore limas but am the only person in my family who does. Even mixed with something, they will not be touched by my husband.

I know nothing about the restaurant biz in that area. I do live in southern California and have 2 step-daughters in the San Francisco area and many friends up that way. You say you're from the east coast, but that's as much as saying you're from the west coast.
My advice before you start to seriously pursue a job in this area is to make sure you understand the cost of living out here. And I mean that seriously. Please check into it before you start looking for a job. Your salary requirements will depend/vary on the area you move to.
I hope that didn't come across as too negative--just want to make certain you're aware.
Best of luck to you in your career, whichever coast/state you find yourself.
