    If you ever have to be in Perry and need to eat, Pouncey's is not a bad place to do it at. It's right there on the main highway, which I think was Alt 27 at that point, with all the fast food places, but it's a real restaurant, with old vinyl booths and lots of regulars hanging around. Their conversation and accents made me thing of Mark's bar tape... I had the scallops, which were small but seasoned right and very tasty. They gave me a thing of guava jelly and I discovered it's for hush puppies. I stole one of the placemats and plan to use it for a christmas card if I can ever get the old scanner running...

    Now it's your turn. Interesting road food experiences?

    i went to this place in pennsylvania, the neverending state to travel through. it was a fifties diner in one of those airstream looking buildings. the waitress had a big beehive, and she was fat. i ordered an egg breakfast, which came with toast. she asked me if i would like jam, i said no, my traveling companion ben said yes. she brought this amazing relish tray full of four different kinds of homemade jam- strawberry, blackberry, apple butter, and marmalade. all of these jams were so amazing that i had to order another side of toast just to experience them fully. i think about that place all the time. it was a little slice of heaven.

    speaking of relish trays, there is this place in manchester connecticut called the shady glenn. it's a diner and ice cream place, the waitresses still wear the pale blue green and white uniforms, the cooks wear paper hats. there is a kind of creepy mentally disabled guy who busses the tables, he has been working there since i was a child. the owner still works there, too, she has jet black hair that is very obviously dyed and she is like ninety years old. the shady glenn has a relish tray that rules, also. ketchup, mustard, relish, and fresh chopped onions. they make their cheeseburgers with this crispy deep fried cheese on top, it is to die for. i order crispy cheese sandwiches on white bread with mayonnaise when i go there, and then i have at the relish tray to the extreme. there are these frightening paintings of these little disproportionately painted elves on the walls, they are painted by an artist who has never studied the figure. they are all eating hot dogs and hamburgers and ice cream cones. they are frightening. they serve your coffee on those cool round fluted coasters that say something funny on them. i think that maybe i should buy myself a relish tray pretty soon. i will be enjoying a snack at the shady glenn in about two weeks.

    There use to be a slider place by my house called Jiffy Burger,the gimick was it was owner operated by an Elvis impersonator,the first time I went there,I was with my evil sister-in-law,her now ex-husband,my nephew Tony, who I just love.Anyway Tony and I have the same twisted humor,and there was a long line,he started doing his Elvis voice(he sounds just like him)he was calling me "Cilla"and we were entertaining ourselves,mostly wondering why those burgers didn,t seem to be so jiffy after all,his mom and step-dad flipped out over our behavior and we left.I waited a good 6 months,before I went back,word must have gotten around that if you were in a hurry skip Jiffy,s,not a soul in there but "Elvis",Heather and I.When he was taking my order,it was all I could do to give my order,then I ran and sat on the patio,I made Heather go get the food when it was up.He went out of business shortly after that.

    Guess who is talking to me right now? Pumpkin!!!

By J on Wednesday, December 15, 1999 - 09:08 am:

    Same old Pumpkin,I was telling her how Amee trashed my rental house,I was telling her about the tore-up blinds,the hole in the wall,the door busted,etc.Earlier in the conversation,she was telling me how mellow she was now that she was on hormones and meds.After I was bitching about all this damage,she tells me her house is like that too,then she goes on to tell me how SHE punched some holes in the wall,how SHE busted Buds door when he tried to lock her out,how SHE broke a window in a fit,it was wierd.I,d love to do a documentry on that family,I,d call it.Home in Hell.
