McNally’s in St. Charles has the best restroom.
The lock on the door is a deadbolt. No wondering about the puny button. Did it work?? Will it hold??

Sure… you two go ahead and have a nice drink of water and a nice dinner while we minions get nothing but heartbreak and destruction.

Guys, there’s a free couch and matching love seat on the corner of 7th and Moore in Geneva.
It was there yesterday and I wager it’ll be there tomorrow. But probably not the day after because it’s garbage night here in Geneva on Wednesdays.
Tan isn’t my color so I’m sharing this delightful furniture combo with all of you. Sure, they’ve seen better days but with the desert-camo look you know it’s been a trooper.
I can picture Jean-Luc Picard commanding the Enterprise from such a sofa station while behind him, Number One and Geordi are side-by-side on the loveseat. La Forge, cleaning his air filter and Riker batting his longing eyes subtly in Geordi’s direction.
Let your imagine run wild, the set is yours for the taking. Make it so.
—
Update: Apparently I don’t know what day it is today so keep that in mind if you’re scheduling your garbage pickup or you’re furniture shopping according to my recommendations.
Update 2: Apparently I don’t know what city I’m in either as this corner is in St. Charlies.
In short, everything is terrible.

Guys, where do you go to eat for comfort food on an overcast Monday? 🍽
Some place with a menu similar to Denny’s or Colonial Cafe but with good food. Money is no object. Reservations are OK.
Willing to travel to St. Charlie, Geneva, Batavia, and even Elburn.
If they’re playing Tom Petty’s Free Fallin’ when Sara and I arrive, even better.

Update: I should mention that I haven’t ate meat for close to 15 years. Sara does though so it’s not taboo or anything. However, catering to both palettes would be ideal.

Just a heads up, Firewater is doing a slow open. It will be a week or 2 before we are full force. Employees are being trained, so please don’t be so quick to judge if you stop in. 😊 it takes a bit to train the employees to be on point :) We hope you all enjoy the food though. Again, slow open. In a week things should be ready to roll ❤️

It’s breakfast, but my #1 comfort food is Andres Restaurant Chicken Enchiladas Crepes Verdes. I believe on the back of the menu….I’ve been ordering them for at least 8 years and still my absolute favorite ❤️

I’m sure they’d be just as amazing without the chicken since egg is the main feature 😉

We ultimately chose Craft Urban. Well, Sara chose Craft Urban because she had never been. I had their Nice Salad and Charred Cauliflower, both were superb. Sara had the Short Rib Burger and she whispered unprovoked, “this might be the best local burger I’ve had.”
I appreciate all of your suggestions, too! We’ll definitely visit the non-winners since we go out for dinner. A LOT. Yep, I’ve made note of the ones we’ve never been to. I’m interested in visiting the Elburn restaurants as we’ve never ventured farther west than Randall that I can remember.
Note to restaurateurs: having an easy to find, up-to-date menu on your website along with your phone number and address is mission critical in the here and now.
Also, having at least one vegetarian option on Le Menu is helpful. I’m not saying it’s required but it can be deciding factor in where we eat.
Sara makes no bones about eating good meat and I’ll happily accompany her wherever she goes unless… I’m stuck drinking cucumber water through a paper straw like a moron.
Fish sammies are probably the easiest. Baked beans in a hotdog bun with a side of coleslaw will work.
PS- I’m still wondering about Craft Urban’s white brick building, too… 🤔

· Sep 25, 2018 at 11:15 am
well, then definitely try Eddie Gaedel’s in Elburn. They have housemade baked beans that’ll blow your mind and german potato salad. Dare I say, better than my German mother’s. Oh, and Friday fish fry is a game changer. No straws. http://www.eddiegaedelpubandgrill.com/

Audio (MP3): 20180924 - Desperately Seeking Cup of Water
Video (MP4): 20180924 - Desperately Seeking Cup of Water
I would get one myself but I’ve just settled in for my late afternoon nap. I don’t need a full glass, a full cup will do. I know you’ve been there: partially parched and close to near death as your bones wither down to the marrow.
Plastic cups with the Millennium Falcon are preferred. Thor artwork will do. Toy Story cartoons are forbidden.
Please ring the doorbell and I’ll shortly answer via one-way video yet two-way audio teleconference. Don’t be alarmed, the future is now.
If clearance is granted I will give you a four digit pin with which you may unlock the castle door.
Don’t get any bright or shifty shady ideas though, they’re one time use only. Nice try.
