Nothing too fancy on the Swiss, just aged Sargento Swiss, but I like the goat cheese idea and have some logs in the freezer. I think I will go and defrost one and give it a try. I shop with my eyes open, and it does not take a rocket scientist to see that $0.49 a pound bone in chicken breeasts are a hell of deal. $0.69 a pound for boneless chicken breasts, yet apples are $2.00 a pound and even onions are $1.50 and more. Just does not make good sense to me, but hey....I will take advantage of what is offered.

Want to trade sons ? Mine is 23 and is working on his masters, and eats 5 or 6 meals a day......and is 5'11" and weighs about 140 pounds. Yes, I have had him checked for worms. The 5 or 6 meals does not include snacks, etc. He keeps telling me he is moving out in May, but I can't nail him down on a date. He is going to be going to Ga State now and living with friends near Emory.

I am certain King Jerry and his merry round table could provide an answer for your question. Of course several members of his roundtable had residential developments planned for that stretch of the road, so who knows?

Hiram Kroger had bone-in chicken breasts for $0.49 a pound. Now that is CHEAP. I boned them, wieghed the bones, and figured I paid $0.69 a pound for boneless breasts, and of course froze the bones/scraps for soup stock at a later date. Pounded the breasts flat, rolled them up and put them in a marinade with salt, pepper, some wine/lemon juice and a vinegarette. Now i will unroll them, layer with the last of my Easter spiral cut ham, prosciutto and swiss cheese. Then roll them back up and secure with toothpicks. I left the piece of skin so I can brown them on the skin, and then bak

Ask the pharmacist for Domeboro. It ain't cheap. It is a powder you will mix with water in a bowl. Take white athletic socks and cut out the toes so you can slide it onto your arms after soaking in the domeboro, and keep them on for several hours, rewetting as necessary. It draws out and neutralizes the reactive agents from the poison ivy. If severe enough sleep with them also wrapped in plastic. The stuff works great and stops it from spreading any further.

The family resemblance is strong. She is all Melissa and Louise from the eye brows down......and her hair is her dad's. I need to get some newer fotos of grandmother, mother, and child all together. When you see the 3 together it is obvious they are related.

I have no problem with tip jars for performers.....or the server at an open bar where the drinks are free, etc. For Drive Through or counter service I feel it is a bit tacky. What I have a problem with is diners who camp out at a table for 90 minutes, and then leave a $20 to pay an $18.50 check, with a whopping $1.50 tip. Son's tips are getting worse and worse. He will sell $550, and have $50 in tips, sometimes less. He used to almost always have $100 in tips when he sold more than $500.

We are glad to be able to spend time with her. Life is so ironic.....her mother was AWFUL as a toddler. Almost enough for us to not have another [which we did anyway and he was better]. She comes and spends the night with us about once a month, and Grandmother will actually take a day off from work to be here to play with her. Camila is just a good kid. No bad outbursts. She is just about always smiling and having a good time. Eats whatever you put in front of her and is the consumate HAM with the camera. She is just starting to talk...no sentences but lots of words. And she wi

I sent you a pm.....let me know.

I know I might happen to be just slightly biased, but I just can't get over how pretty Camila is, and how much she looks like her mother and grandmother.

Slow aren't you? Average lot size is 1/4th to 1/6th of an acre, or 5 to 6 per acre for the majority of the land. The 3.6 is calculating for the entire tacts of land which includes the roads, greenspace, stream buffers and amenities. Going back to the tie in to the original topic is how much better suited this tract would have been for a really nice industrial office park with rail sidings........and instead, 5 years later, we have 70something houses and several hundred overgrown empty lots and dead end streets.

Left over Peking Duck, stir fried broccoli, onions, cheezeaki mushrooms and straw mushrooms and basmati rice with some Sake'.

We did not know he was a STRAWMAN. He was supposed to be "The Developer", and he is who along with a Cobb Real Estate company was the purchaser and who was requesting the rezoning. Even though we have a First Right of Refusal going back 20+ years, our neighbors had put the land under contract to this STRAWMAN. After reviewing our First Right of Refusal he gave us a contract allowing us to use our first option and sell the land for an industrial park, keeping anything above the $36k per acre. The Palisades PRD will have 3.6 house per acre AVERAGE for the entire tract including greenspace,

The Birmingham group made an offer through me, at $43k per acre, as per the contracts I had with who turned out to be the Strawman. The contracts specifically recognized our first option, and we were to get everything above $36k the developer had a contract for. The Strawman got up and walked away from the table when he realized we had an actual bona fide buyer. The buyer was also willing to buy the other 120 acres not effected by out first option, giving the developer a nice tidy profit of $840,000 for flipping the land he had not done any work on yet. King Jerry knew all the details

Not entirely true. The BOC can indeed turn down one type of zoning based on land use plans. And they can simply let the land owner know they feel the land would be better suited for industrial use and suggest he attempt to market as such. In addition, the Industrial Building Authority / IBA had a nice tidy sum of money sitting in the bank left over from the profit they made after flipping the land they were looking at expanding the North Industrial Park on. After buying the land they realized is was almost solid rock and cost prohibitive from grading out flat tracks of land large enough t

Harry's has a lot of the "unusual" stuff we try to keep on hand, but the Buford Highway Farmers Market at the NW corner of I285 and Buford Highway has everything, and is substantially cheaper. Toasted sesame oil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, various spices and dried herbs, basmati rice, loose sencha green tea, udon and buckwheat japanese noodles, wasabi, different grades of soy sauce, etc. And the produce is very fresh and on some items half the price as the chain grocery stores. Tofu, sprouts, different peppers, arugula, watercress, and a huge selection of fruits. Plus a bunch of stu

Industrial/warehousing/office parks do not necessarily mean gigantic factories polluting, etc. We don't have the water or water treatment facilities for anything like big heavy industrial. But 278 & 92 is like 7 miles from the Powder Spring Intermodal yards. We are in a perfect location for companies who warehouse goods from the containers coming off the train at the intermodal yards as ship the goods back out in single pallets to their various distribution points. Warehouses with some office space, dock height loading bays and some forklifts. We are also perfect for light manufacturing a

The nearest rail to the airport is a mile north of 278 on the other side of the Silver Comet Trail. They would have to bridge 278 and the SCT to get it to the airport and if you are at all familiar with the terrain between the existing NS location and the airport the costs would be prohibitive. With the exception of the old stinky fields and part of Hiram, all of the accessible at grade rail sites in the county have been developed as subdivisions instead of industrial. Day late and a dollar short.

This is Friday right ? So first I think I will have a double gin, dry & dirty martini on the rocks. Then I am going to skewer 2 Maple Leaf Farm ducks and put them on my rotisserie. Some basmati rice, and stir fried onion, carrots, celery, cheezeaki mushrooms, baby corn, and lots of ginger and garlic. An oriental cole slaw with toasted sesame oil and mirin vinegar and sesame seeds. I would have some sake with this, but I am out and don't feel like going to the store. So a red wine instead.

Thanks for the help getting my little ditty song in my signature guys. MrsSurepip got this last week and seeing the cute little chick singing just new I would like it.

The Hiram Sprawl is a classic example of what happens when there is no long term planning. It just happened, and now we have to live with it. And the airport planning was not much better. King Jerry had his grandopening how long ago ? And you still can't buy gas there ? That along with good old Glenn Richardson pissing away the $4million from the State for the terminal buildings along with the hangers we were going to make so much money off of renting has caused the airport to cost the tax payers some hefty dollars in an economy where we can least afford it. Plain and simply, the taxpa

And other than MG International's building, that is not exactly what would classify as an A+ Development. A bit closer to a C-. Had the Powers that Be utilized the Palisades land for what it was [at grade rail access for 4 to 5 rail spurs, and connected Cadillac across Palisades to MG International, then it could have worked well and the trucks going into MG could have exited at Cadillac. And we had buyers/developers ready to make it happen. But King Jerry and his merry men thought another 500 building lots for PRD houses would be a better use for the land. Sigh...........

It the same sort of money and energy were devoted to a joint-venture Class A+ Industrial/Business Park with warehouse/manufacturing designed buildings available for rent then "yes", the airport could be an additional item in the plus column. But short of a company actually directly involved in Avionics, there has to be space available for potential companies to lease. And they need to be built, as were so many of the houses, on the speculation of "build it and they will come". 10,000 square feet spaces and up, with dock height loading bays and easy access with an 18 wheeler tractor tra

And you need to take what happens in Clayton while looking at the entire county governmental failures. Their BOE has been un-accredited after years of warnings. Their newly elected sheriff removed from office. BOC members arrested at meetings and removed from the BOC, And a poorly designed and operated C-Trans has now been shut down.
