When did you last buy a Hallmark card?

Greeting cards in general are one of the biggest ripoffs ever. If I ever need to send one, go to Dollar Tree and get some fairly nice cards...2 for a buck. I'd rather have the $4 instead of a birthday card.

Traveler's Starbucks quest leads him to Lawrence

I read about a guy whose goal was to eat a burger from a restaurant in every county in Kansas (not the McDonald's type). Wouldn't mind doing that. Starbucks? No thanks.

Mexican restaurant Tapas closes as it loses lease on downtown building; Mexquisito expands into Eudora

With the Honeybees? The thought of Mrs. Howell in that wig still kind of freaks me out.

New breakfast spot, The Roost, slated to open in former Milton's location

I remember going there, think they closed up in the early or mid 90s. Never had their breakfast but always had their buffet. Was the only bread pudding I would ever eat. Served cold, and very firm. No idea how they made it but it was always the same.

Would you ever keep chickens in your backyard?

My backyard neighbor keeps some. They're pretty quiet, I didn't know they were there until I saw the coop.

They can make a mess, though. We used to keep about 25 of them, and every other month would have to go out to the chicken house with a big shovel and a trashcan. A few hours of scooping later, the ceiling got about 4" further away from my head than it had been.

I have never been able to make as good of a merrangue as I made with those fresh eggs. The only downside is always having to break each egg into a bowl before actually using it...just in case.

Town Talk: Godfather's Pizza closes in West Lawrence; Eileen's Colossal Cookies reopens; city moving to take next step on curbside recycling but service can't begin until 2014

Godfathers has always been my favorite. I've never been able to have their buffet, though.
They've been in Lawrence since at least the later 70s. We'd go there on Sundays---that was free Coke day if you bought a pizza. They'd gotten pretty expensive, though, even with their coupons (which weren't that great of a deal). They used to do buy one/get one coupons that were a great deal. I called Monday night for delivery and thought they were just closed early for the holiday when there was no answer.

Eileen's cookies are wonderful! I just wish their hours were expanded. They sell day-old doznes for half price that are just as good as the "fresh" ones. They've got a lot of great combinations.

I miss Valentino's.

What is the most artistic thing you have done?

I think I saw Courtney's bus. It said "Careful: Nervous Mother Driving" on the back of it.
