Serving up Chowder to save the Marine Corps - National Historic Americans | Examiner.com

Serving up Chowder to save the Marine Corps - National Historic Americans | Examiner.com: "When one hears the phrase, The Few, the Proud, the Marines! images fill the mind of brave men and women who follow in the footsteps of their forbearers to protect America. When played by the President’s own, the Marine Band, patriotic goosebumps break out on one’s arms as the notes of the Marine Hymn fill the air. It is hard to image such a magnificent group once stood in harm’s way of being dismantled... http://www.examiner.com/historic-americans-in-national/serving-up-chowder-to-save-the-marine-corps

Some 500 years ago, Leonardo da Vinci noted that branches on trees split with mathematical precision. Recently, physicists studying this phenomenon have discovered it has important implications for the way wind flows around and through trees.

Go ahead. Try not to feel all warm and fuzzy after you watch a video or two of the month-old polar bear who is quickly becoming an Internet hit. He's at a zoo in Denmark.

It's an old cliche — the boozy customer at the pub, pouring out his woes to the bartender. But at a Tokyo bar run by Buddhist monks, bartenders don't mind hearing their customers' problems — dispensing advice is precisely why they're in business.

Kevin Dayhoff - The Tentacle: A Little Turkey History and A Wish

November 23, 2011

A Little Turkey History and A Wish
Kevin E. Dayhoff
http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4760
Happy Thanksgiving! Tomorrow all of America will be celebrating the American version of the “Harvest Festival” by gathering their families together and watching football. Some may be aware that the annual holiday originated as a celebration to give thanks for the annual harvest.

Perhaps because of my family’s long agricultural history, Thanksgiving has always been a special holiday in Carroll County. Besides, I’m a fan of any holiday in which food is involved, especially turkey.

I stand in good company because the turkey is a uniquely American contribution to the global palette.

According to numerous sources, including Andrew F. Smith’s “The Turkey: An American Story,” “The Spanish encountered domesticated turkeys in Mexico by 1518, and within a few years they had been introduced into the West Indies and Spain. Shortly thereafter, turkeys were widely disseminated throughout Western Europe.”

New Hampshire Watchdog: Restaurant chain partnering with White House anti-obesity campaign received ObamaCare Waiver


Restaurant chain partnering with White House anti-obesity campaign received ObamaCare Waiver

Today, a top national restaurant chain partnered with First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move childhood anti-obesity campaign. Last year, that same company received a waiver exempting it from some of the most stringent mandates of ObamaCare.
Michelle Obama visited an Olive Garden restaurant in Hyattsville, Maryland today as Darden Restaurants announced that it would reduce the amount of calories and sodium in its menu by 20% over the next decade.
Darden Restaurants, which owns Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Longhorn Steakhouse, Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze, and Seasons 52, received a waiver from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on October 26, 2010 allowing the company to avoid some of the insurance mandates of the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as ObamaCare...

Dinner at Harry’s Main Street Grille in Westminster Maryland



Dinner at Harry’s Main Street Grille in Westminster Maryland



My family had dinner at Harry’s this evening (last Saturday, May 28, 2011.)  In addition to the delicious traditional food we have come to love and enjoy, the venerable Main Street Westminster restaurant has added some great new items on, literally, a new menu.  I had the new veggie sandwich, which was delightful.  And we got to visit with a number of friends and neighbors.

Check Harry’s out next time you anywhere near Westminster.  The servers are fun and friendly – and from the local community.  It is locally owned; and for three generations, the Sirinakis family has supported the community – especially art and cultural events. 

The prices are quite reasonable and all the money you spend at Harry’s stays in Carroll County; supports local workers, and the local community.

410-848-7080
Closed on Sunday

For more info click on the image above: Harry's Main Street Grille, 65 West Main Street, Westminster, MD 21157, 410-848-7080, Closed on Sunday


For more information, see what Westminster Patch has to say: http://westminster.patch.com/listings/harrys-main-street-grille

Founded in 1946, Harry's Main Street Grille has become a dining landmark in downtown Westminster. Now in its third generation of ownership by the Sirinakis family, Harry's offers a great selection of American cuisine including burgers, paninis, wraps and pastas. 

Their famous hot dogs are served Coney Island style with chili, mustard and onions, but definitely not sauerkraut!

Customers who absolutely must insist on having sauerkraut on their hot dogs will have to pay $85 for it in accordance with Harry's longstanding policy... More: http://westminster.patch.com/listings/harrys-main-street-grille
