They have/had a banner sign in the window facing the street with the "AARP
DISCOUNTS" writ large and a couple lines of caveats in *much* smaller type
below.

 DD> It has been my observation that very few seniors order from the

Isn't that the place Viscount Zonker Harris worked before going off to Colorado
with his nephew to start a weed ranch?

 DD>> Grape Nuts cereal boxes were *much* smaller than the flaked cereals -

I kinda like the crunch.

 DD> I haven't done cold cereal - as cereal - in 60 years or more. I used

 NB> Cold cereal as cereal is a thing of the past here, too... and likewise,
 NB> cereal is most likely to be oatmeal if at all..  :)

Especially after the last time I tried Malt-O-Meal.  Eeeeeeeewwwwwww!!!  Nearly
as bad as grits and too runny to use for wallboard spackle.   Bv)=

      Title: Denny's Superbird
 Categories: Poultry, Cheese, Pork, Vegetables
      Yield: 1 Sandwich
 
      3 oz Deli-sliced turkey
      2 lg Slices sourdough bread
           Butter; softened
      2 sl Processed Swiss(Emmenthaler)
           - cheese *
           Salt
      2 sl Bacon; cooked
      2 sl Tomato

MMMMM------------------------ON THE SIDE-----------------------------
           French fries
           Pickles
 
  * if making this myself I use "real" aged Emmenthaler
  cheese. It makes a difference - to me, at least. UDD
  
  Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Grill the
  stack of turkey breast in the pan without separating the
  stack until the meat is golden brown on both sides.
  
  While the turkey is browning, butter one side of each
  slice of soudough bread. Place one slice of bread in the
  pan, buttered side down.
  
  Place the 2 slices of Swiss (Emmenthaler) cheese on the
  unbuttered side of the bread grilling in the pan.
  
  Put the stack of turkey breast slices on the cheese.
  Sprinkle with a bit of salt.
  
  Place the cooked bacon on the turkey breast.
  
  Stack the tomato slices on the bacon next.
  
  Top off the sandwich with the remaining slice of
  sourdough bread. Be sure to place the bread with the
  unbuttered side facing the tomato slices.
