So, I don't feel guilty throwing away extra food.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205233421891347959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-62595326056671632502012-05-21T10:22:44.601-04:002012-05-21T10:22:44.601-04:00I *love* Giordano's pizza.

I was in ORD for Mother's Day weekend (if I'd known you were going to be there, I'd have taken the week off and stayed! LOL!). <br /><br />I had two items on my "must eat" list. A hot dog from SuperDawg, and a Giordano's pizza! I smile because I have their napkin wrapper emblazoned w/ their name on it sitting below my monitor -- it's been there since 2006! :) <br /><br />I won't wait another 6 years to get another one of their pizzas. I know I'm driving to Nebraska next year for The Boy's wedding. I KNOW I'll be stopping on the way out for a pizza -- maybe on the way home, too.. :) And, they do have a 'delivery' of their pizza. Sometimes the delivery is worth the price. :)Ida from Central PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746900361605795989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-44886284023764062332012-05-21T07:39:00.067-04:002012-05-21T07:39:00.067-04:00I am glad they took you to Giordano's it is by...I am glad they took you to Giordano's it is by far (IMHO) the best pizza in the world. Some will argue Gino's is better, but I would guess that 80% of Chicagoans will tell you one or the other is the best. Giordano's is IT for me.<br /><br />The only thing better than Giordano's is to eat Giordano's at the downtown restaurant a block south of the old Water Tower. It is an old mansion converted into a restaurant and I just love it... It is where I took my wife for her first taste of Chicago Pizza, then we walked the block and a half to the Water Tower and I proposed before getting into a white horse drawn carriage. <br /><br />That was 24 years ago, and next weekend we celebrate 22 years of happiness which followed the "Yes" that I heard that cold December night.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624140507953560723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-7972941573202685602012-05-21T03:54:54.645-04:002012-05-21T03:54:54.645-04:00The quilters of Project Linus thank you for sharin...The quilters of Project Linus thank you for sharing your Culver's experience.

Once heard of a slender older lady, who was in the last few days of her life. A younger woman from her church visited. She told the older lady how she always admired her trim figure. While they chatted, she asked her if there was anything the older lady would have changed about her life ... this is a TRUE story! The older lady answer yes.... she would eat desserts because a slender form is not worth what you have to give up!!! Now I donot think she meant get fat and unhealthy ... just enjoy food while you can.<br /><br />Now where is our map to CHICAGO ? :)Thanks for the side trips we take us on.<br />Smiles, JulieinTNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-87595030008519736592012-05-19T23:13:36.933-04:002012-05-19T23:13:36.933-04:00Made me hungry, had to go for a cheese run and mak...Made me hungry, had to go for a cheese run and make my own- homemade is BEST!

Not as cheesy or doughy as the big ones, and the flavor is out of this world. Just my humble opinion, mind you, but they don't make good pizza here in SoCal & I miss my Lou's!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469828219999900733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29792262744104510982012-05-19T18:50:30.770-04:002012-05-19T18:50:30.770-04:00Hi Bonnie - I was one of the FIFTY - SEVEN guests ...Hi Bonnie - I was one of the FIFTY - SEVEN guests at the lecture Thurs. night - my friend and I drove over an hour in lovely rush hour traffic to see you - and it was SO worth it. You did such a nice job with the Scrap lecture and then showing off some of your quilts. I wanted to say this that night - but knew you were getting tired from all the questions - THANK YOU for all your knowledge that you so graciously share with all your followers. You are the most generous professional quilter and we really appreciate that! I was the Home Ec teacher in the back row! :)Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068212712796989252noreply@blogger.com
