Not quite lite Wednesday

A short list that grew a little…

So. Md. Culture at its best:

A couple of people sent me a link to a story in one of our “on-line” newspapers that showed a grizzly skull of (sic) "a horse" in a pot behind one of our local Mexican markets. It allegedly was used to “make tacos”. Well, in today’s Enterprise, there’s a top of front page story with that (ugly) picture and it goes on to explain it was all just a misunderstanding, see. Silly us, it’s really only a cows head. What’s all the fuss about? Article goes to pains to point out a county official says it’s “an acceptable culinary practice”. I certainly feel better now. I’ll have a salad please.

As locals know, there is always a chaser going across the bottom of the screen during “local on the 8’s” on the Weather Channel. Old people watch the WC for hours, you know. Anyway the chaser usually advertises some local business. Today there was one about a luncheon special which read” “Clarke’s Landing Restaurant announces there famous crab cake….”. Hey, it passed the spell checker..

The (culinary) rejuvenation of “the Park” continues…Sake has opened in the old McDonald’s/Chicken Shack (did that ever actually open?) spot on Great Mills road. I think it’s a steak house and might have AYCE Sushi. That’s classy. The Lexington Park Pub is coming, the new McDonalds debuts in St. Mary’s Square which also contains a store front Pizza Hut. I also think something else is under construction: “coming soon”. Sometime I gotta count the number of eateries around here. Big number (and growing) I think.

General

And, despite many mailings of “no thank you” and “do not renew”, guess what came in yesterday afternoon’s mail?
