When I started working in Boca Raton, my coworkers would frequent a Chinese restaurant named Hunan Palace. Through the years it must have been owned by different people but, it was a mainstay as the winter months had people standing outside waiting to get a seat.
Dingy, crowded, booths, a menu with numbers to order by. Lunch for $6 and a dollar more if you made substitutions.

COVID hit and the business suffered. As people started going back, the place was totally renovated. The huge aquarium in the middle was gone and the booths were taken out and replaced with tables. The floor was changed to ceramic tiles.
It must be hard keeping a good chef as the food was great one month and not-so-great the next. The one good thing about Chinese restaurants is they're never closed on American Holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas were their 2 best days.

I haven't gone to eat there in more than I can remember and a friend complained to the owner about the variances in quality. That must have been happening too often and the name removed from the front of the place indicated a kiss of death.

Driving by last night, I see a banner across the old signage for a new business of buffet style Indian Cuisine. It's been a while for me to have food in Indian style, so I'll have to pay my respects to the late Mr. Chen and see new foods are being cooked in my neighborhood.

Mushroom deaths suspect insists she loved victims
In the low mountains of Australia’s far southeast, faith and family run deep in the tiny settlements that stretch across the wild ocean tip of the state of Victoria. It was here, in the dairy farming hamlet of Leongatha, about 90 miles south of Melbourne, that nine days ago several old friends, including the town’s Baptist minister, gathered in the home of Erin Patterson, editor of the local newsletter, for lunch. Now, three are dead and a fourth is in a critical condition after police suspect.

Hello if you want to explore food of indore then i am sharing here a link..

I eat too fast, but I'm not the fastest. I used to work with a guy who could put down a Burger King Whopper, large French fries and a large drink in less than 5 minutes.

I had a Dalmatian puppy who would 'wolf-down' a bowl of dog food, then run over to my other dog's bowl and get into a fight. I would feed him first then hold him back while the other dog are without being disturbed. After the dog finished and walked away, the Dalmatian would run over and lick the empty bowl!

One of my girlfriends thought she had a cure for my eating too quickly. Use chopsticks.
I wasn't good at holding them, so she opened a can of peas, put them into a bowl, then she put an empty bowl next to the full one and instructed me to take one pea at a time and transfer them to the other bowl. The trick was to develop the finesse not to crush the peas.

Got it. Chopsticks slowed me down.

The other day I was thinking about the lesson from years ago and I had a package of Blueberries... Yeah, it slowed me down, but I could pick them up so fast they were gone in 2 minutes!

On Wednesday, it was my suggestion that the guys in the model helicopter group have a barbecue this holiday weekend. The new canopy was installed two weeks ago and the last barbecue was many months ago. We always talk about having them in the fall or spring when the weather isn't too hot or cold.
It was 'touch & go' as Thursday and Friday rained most of the day. We had a cold front push through on Saturday and the morning temperature was 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
Some people were working on Monday so it was decided to do the event on Sunday.
We are all on a group text so it was decided who would get what so we didn't have too much of the same.
I brought the watermelon, baked beans, sauteed onions. To offer something different than hotdogs and hamburgers, I made some scrambled eggs, cooked mushrooms and Italian sausage on the side. Those items got eaten while people were waiting for the grill to be setup.
We were to start around noon and I headed there around 11am. The temperature in my car was 102F and I'm guessing it was 95F under the canopy... totally different weather from a day earlier.
There was a mild breeze that blew the smoke from the grill across the 3 picnic tables, but it didn't stop the flies and gnats who outnumbered us 10 to 1. We had to keep lids on the foods and fan the items that remained open.
A quick count had 18 of us and some from the nearby airplane club stopped by to say hello.
Overall it was a few hours of fun. I didn't get to fly much as I participated on the food preparation and devoting time to the actual eating!

Cleanup was easy as I'm the one who brought the large garbage bags and the county hires a truck to do weekend pickups.
Seasonally it's brutal to have Barbecues in the middle of summer. If we do another one then, I'll ask someone to bring a generator and I'll bring some fans. We can run tarps to block the side with the most sunlight, making it cooler to enjoy the weather.
As far as the flies and gnats... it would be a huge undertaking to screen off the surrounding canopies. Maybe in a future lifetime.
