Today March is going out like a LION. The wind is howling and howling. I heard it all night long. When I went to Mom's this morning she said she didn't hear the wind all night. She is lucky because her house blocks the sound. The streets were just a little slick. Burwell started with a late start but just when I was going to wake up Sam, Ted called from the nursing home, where he was working, and told me
Burwell had closed. Sam is still not up and it is 10:45. Time to be thinking about what to fix for dinner. We are going to have oven fried chicken. I need to have that in the oven by 11 because Ed and Ted will be home at noon to eat. I pack up Mom and my share and take it over and eat with her. For those that don't know Catherine has moved to Ord. She is renting an apartment and is enjoying it. On a day like today it is good she doesn't have to drive. She came home on Sunday to do her laundry. Valerie was home on Fri and sat. She was giving a Pampered Chef party in Ord so she came to Burwell after she was done teaching in Overton. She doesn't teach on Friday. She went home on Sat. because she had to take students to Norfolk on Mon for a show choir contest. This week at the Sandstone the owners have been pretty upset. There is a blog that people can annomously post any comment they want. The blog is from Ord but they have added a Burwell link. Someone and they think it is a former disgruntled employee has posted not to eat at the Sandstone. They said that they spit in food and drop food on the floor and make waitresses share thier tips. The administrator of the blog removed the post but not before some people had made copies of it and were showing it at the coffeeshops. My question is "Why do people care so much and why in Burwell do we always want people to fail?" The whole blog should be removed because people post on there anything they want without having to be accountable. The food inspector Larry always eats at the Sandstone when he makes his inspections so it must not be too bad. Need to get chicken in the oven and today I think I will make hot cross buns as a practice for Easter

If it is worth saying then you should have to sign it and be responsible for what you say. I would imagine something like that blog is the result of a disgruntled employee or the competition. Anyone with any sense knows that those things are not true. I am sorry for the owners as it is hurtful but they should know that any one that is decent will know that that is not true Anyway, I eat at a restaurant that is said to do all kinds of things to the food. Even the beverage filler told us one night that if we worked there we wouldn't eat there and we still do. LOL

It seems the whole world wants to make themselves seem better by putting others down. We don't work together for the good of all anymore.

I once saw a prep cook (who shall remain nameless-but I do live with him) drop a spoon on the floor and then put it back into what he was stirring (without thinking he claimed). It was the spoon that was in the frosting for the cinnamon rolls.
