he wouldn't know a new idea if it hit him the the pachenga...

You know how when you have something you want and then it’s not really as good as you wanted it to be!?  Well that would be me last night.  I got the chicken and waffles from a place not too far from my house.  This place is a new spot and the 3rd time I’ve been there.  So I’m not really speaking badly about it but more about my quirkiness for watching my food being made.  I can’t face the kitchen because when I see my food done I want to go pick it up, but you can’t just go up there and do that.  I WANT TO, and my friends know I am crazy enough to go into the kitchen but I haven’t.  Last night I watched them pull my waffle off the iron cut it, powder sugar it and then it sat. And sat… and sat some more.  This was just bad time management.  My chicken should have been done AND then they should have made the waffle, not the other way around.  I really wanted to fuss but I didn’t for a few reasons 1.  I was pms’ing hard and I had been fussy all day anyway.  2.  I was hungry and I just didn’t feel like a fight.  3.  There were just too many people there.   Had it just been me I probably would have said something.  The chicken was nice and hot but the waffle was just so/so.  I already know take-out waffles are not a good idea so I’m not sure why I thought last night would be any better.  The only exception would be the Chicken and waffle food truck which I haven’t even (ok took a quick minute to google… the last tweet they did was 9 months ago) seen in a while.  But I guess since that is what they do (or did) it, the chicken was already ready and you just kinda waited for the waffle.  It always worked out.  Another place is a sit down restaurant that I was truly not feeling, but they have chicken and waffles and they are GREAT!!  I went and hijacked a friends food LOL She likes the place and everyone else in Baltimore like the place but now I know to get just the chicken and waffles.  And did I just totally do a whole thing on chicken and waffles?!?!  YES I DID!!! If you are in the Baltimore area close to Owings Mill small, go have you some chicken and waffles at Granny’s which is about the onliest thing holding that dead mall together.  Then if you want some just good general food but not necessarily chicken and waffles go to Café 1137 on Windsor Mill road.  I have had the catfish po’boy, the tilapia platter, the Asian wings and the regular wings (well that came with the waffle) and it has all been excellent!  Worth the trip and wait.  They are on Yelp and Urban Spoon so look them up that way because the website as of today is still under construction which can start a whole new rant…

When you have a business make sure you have an up to date website.  That is about my biggest pet peeves when it comes to businesses.  It is a cost of doing business and should have been in the business plan I hope you created before opening your door to any business.  This is 101 stuff, not even advanced.  There are so many low cost ways to host the website because I understand it may take a lot to build from the ground up, but there are 100’s if not 1000’s of templates that can be used to get you started. And then go on social media and promote your business.  I get a blast from someone in Richmond about buying a cheesesteak almost every day.  And you know what I WANT A FREAKING CHEESESTEAK every time he sends it, but I am in Baltimore.  But guess where I go when I’m in Richmond?  Str8 Out of Philly.  They have a website str8outofphilly.com   I am doing a whole lotta plugerization here I need to be getting something for free LOL Damn I want a cheesesteak now!!!

Speaking of food I hope that was my activia peach orchard yogurt I just took from the frig.  If not OH WELL!!  It’s gone now **shrugs**

I am getting ready to go vote early today. It’s the gubernatorial race as well as some questions and I’m going to answer them.  It is my civic duty!
