JJ's Hometown Restaurant, not so good

The one redeeming feature about this restaurant is that they offer free delivery to your home if you are within their service area, which is basically Englewood. They do have an extensive menu as well with many selections.

Now for the bad part, undercooked pork tenderloin; horrors! Bits and pieces picked off the turkey carcass which was supposed to represent roast turkey dinner; gross! Greasy, lumpy gravy. Must have been the real cook's night off.

It's such a shame that they would send out dinners to a regular customer that looked like that. It was a miracle that we did not get sick. Most of the pork was eaten before we realized it was pink in all but the outer edges.

In a word - yuck!

New movie review: Water for Elephants

OMG! I usually truly love any movie with Reese Witherspoon in it, who I adore, but seriously folks, she gets her ass beat in this flick! If you like to watch movies where animals and women get seriously hurt and abused, check it out. Otherwise, pass on it. I should have known better just by the title. Anything with elephants in the title and you just know it is going to be sad. Sure, it has a happy little ending, more or less, but its not worth sitting through all of that misery just to see a pittance of joy at the end. One scene made me cry my heart out. All I can say is, thank God I never ran away and joined the circus!
