I remember making sweet tea when I worked at Wendy's pouring bags of sugar into a plastic ice bucket with tea and stirring up the sugar sludge it initially becomes on the bottom.

Actually... I will share my secret, not so secret.   Always make a simple syrup.  Put the sugar in boiling water and stir until dissolved.   The sugar will stay in suspension... That's how I make my lemonade. 

 

You can let the syrup cool and use later, just remember how many parts water and sugar it is. I usually just keep it 2 cups water, 1 cup sugar... Then the rest is filled in with plain water and lemons that the recipe calls for.

just to add a bit more perspective, i have since heard that this was not about the restaurant running out of steak, but that someone got their steak before someone else who had ordered it first.   i have no idea if this is true...do they have steaks to order at GC?

 

I saw the same thing in a FB post.  One person ordered theirs well done, the person next in line wanted theirs medium rare. Second person got theirs before first person cause, well, duh, well done is going to take longer to cook.

there needs to be a reality show based on restaurant brawls in the vein of pro wrestling.

 

This week, don't miss the Chuck E Cheese vs Golden Corrall Superfight.

I'll steak my life on it!

Found it...

 

Video captures massive brawl inside Golden Corral in Bensalem, Pa.

 

Quote

Alexis Rios says it started over a misunderstanding regarding a piece of steak. Rios says the person in front of him became angry with the cook because Rios received his steak first. "(The cook is) trying to understand what you want and give you what you want," he says. "I had a rare steak, which is a lot faster to cook than a well-done steak. That's why I got my steak first."

We were in Spain a few years ago, ya know….back when people actually went places, and wanted sangria. We learned southern Spain is generally warm, and the people who live their like cold beer. For the tourists, each place has their different version of sangria, and it is almost universally AWFUL!  Almost half the places had a sugar sludge at the bottom of the glass. DISGUSTING! 

 

We came home and made the Bobby Flay version, better than anything in Spain.

Southern Man In Critical Condition After Being Served Unsweetened Tea

What struck me as bizzare was the reporter asking random old people what they thought of the riot...in a news report.

Went to Sanibel/Captiva for a vacation back in 2011/2012. On the way from the Fort Myers airport to the motel. stopped at Chic-Fil-a and bought a gallon jug uf their iced tea, then stoped at a liquor store to buy vodka. Had vodka and iced teas for a week  on the beach.

Agreed.  Local news budgets and remote reporting ain't what they used to be.

It was multiple  gallons of Chick-Fil-a tea and  multiple trips to the liquor store. Captiva Island is only about a quarter mile wide. Fill up the insulated mug, restaurant across the street for breakfast, down the street to the beach. Drank til noon, ate lunch at a p lace on the beach (had burgers). Back to the room for more tea and booze and back to the beach. At about 5 went to the supermarket on the island to buy food and cook it on the grill at the motel.

The place looked like cottages at Crystal Beach,  but in the office, the owners had pictures of him with Danny DeVito and with Aerosmith when they stayed there. On the beach there was a guy that sold ice cream and snacks off a party boat that he  drove up on the beach. Taking to that guy , found out he was from WNY.

My first year of college was the fall of 1979 a year after Animal House came out.  My roommate had the idea to start a food fight in the cafeteria like the movie. He was to stand up and yell food fight like Belushi.  Well as I was walking towards the dining all I see all these people running out covered in food.  I ***** missed it!!
