Heidi's Brooklyn Deli

Hidden away in the far end of the "B Concourse" in the Denver Airport is a little gem by the name of Heidi's Brooklyn Deli. I have eaten here nearly every time I have been through this airport. I never tire of eating a sandwich at this fine eatery.

Usually I get the Pastrami but today I decided to have the Cajun Turkey and Avocado. Oh my!! I am pretty sure this is what you would find on the menu in heaven (right alongside the holy trinity of bbq, Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Ribs). The sandwiches are not small by any means. They are big and they are delicious!! This particular sandwich had a whole avocado sliced up between the two halves and a yummy spicy Cajun Mayo. Top that off with a pickle wedge and a bag of chips and you have a great meal.

Of course this is in an airport so you are going to pay a premium for the food but believe me, this one is worth it!!

If you happen to find yourself in the Denver Airport (DEN) and have time to make the trek to see Heidi, she can be found between gates B87 and B89. You will not be disappointed!

THERE IS NO PROBLEM!!!

This morning I went to the store to get doughnuts for breakfast.  It is Adam's birthday today and he had requested doughnuts.  So, I drove over to Winegar's in Clearfield.  

The grocery store is in a small strip mall.  Right next to Winegars is a dollar store.  I parked in a parking spot right in front of the dollar store which happens to be the closest parking spot to the grocery store.  I went in and got what I needed and came out and was putting everything in the van and heard someone honk.  I was parked so I didn't pay any attention to the honking since I figured it was not for me.

As I was putting the last of my stuff into the van, an older Toyota truck driven by an even older geezer pulled up behind my van and he glared at me.  He then drove rather quickly away and parked.  Now he had my attention.  I pushed the cart back to the cart return location and noticed he was standing in the middle of the parking lot staring at me.  I turned and asked him if there was a problem and he screamed as loud as he could "THERE IS NO PROBLEM!!!!"  So, I got in the van and backed out and drove past the store entrance and rolled down my window.  He was now standing just inside the store staring out at me still.  I asked him again if there was a problem and he yelled again "THERE IS NO PROBLEM!!!", and then turned and stomped into the store.

I have come up with two possible explanations for this man's odd behavior.

#1.  I took his favorite parking spot and he was angry about that.

#2.  When he did park, he was in a handicap spot.  Where I was parked was not a handicap parking spot but a couple of the spots in that area are.  He felt I was parked in a handicap spot and was angry about that.   I drove around his truck after he stormed into the store.  He did not have handicap plates or a permit in the window or on the dash to be parked where he was.  Either he does no have one or in his anger forgot to put it up.

If I could, I would thank that man for giving me a good laugh to start the morning.  It was much appreciated!!

Father - Son Insult Fest

Adam and I had a bit of a good natured insult war going on tonight.  I started it and he ended it...or I did by saying it was time to go see Grandma and Grandpa Hall.

If you take the time to read through this, our comments are prefaced with our name.   If there is a comment without a name in front, it was made by the same person as the line above.  I was using my Blackberry and Adam was at the computer in the kitchen.  Read on and enjoy.  I need to go ice my thumbs!

Baby Names...

A friend sent me this link to a site that has collected Utah baby names over a period of ten years. I can't imagine how stupid some people can be. Why on earth would anyone name their kid some of the names found on this list? Are people really that dumb? I am sure it is cute in the beginning, but how on earth does a kid learn to spell "Vyquetoriya Walkasheaqua" let alone say it?

There are some names on that list that I am sure I would get hit by my mother-in-law if I said them in front of her.

How on earth do you explain to a child how/why they were named "Zestpoole"? Their name is forever going to be questioned by spell-check and anyone with half a brain!!!

See for yourself... http://www.wesclark.com/ubn/

Welcome to Utah, if you can come up with a stupid name, someone in the state is willing to name their kid with it.

Horse with five legs...

Yesterday we were heading up to Willard to pickup some pie cherries for Marni's mom. The road I normally take to the freeway was closed for construction, so I decided to just head up the old highway that parallels the freeway.

As we were driving along I noticed in a field off to the left an obviously male horse. I thought no more of it and did not feel any particular reason to point the horse out to anyone else in the van. A few moments later, Carolyn pipes up and announces that she had just seen a horse with five legs.

I sat there in stunned silence for a few moments until I looked at Marni and we both started laughing. I thought I was going to drive off the road.

Stitches Update

Sammy got his stitches out today!!! We stopped by the doctor's office and nurse Terry took them out. Sammy did very well and only bled a little bit. I had to hold his hands to keep him from knocking the scissors and tweezers out of the Terry's hands. Now Sammy has some tape over the scar to keep things held together while the healing continues. He is going to have one cool scar!!

For his bravery Sammy got a Small Gulp (little brother to the Big Gulp)!
