Everything Can Be an Adventurre

Part of the adventure of living the full-time life style is experiencing new things.  Some of the adventure is the local spin on ethnic foods, from Fall River style chow mein (recommend it) to the version of chow mein served in Penn Dutch country (don’t recommend it).  Some of the adventure is the chains that have not populated New England yet.  Bob Evans appears to be everywhere here in Maryland but only has products in Northeast super markets and Popeye’s has just recently arrived in Connecticut.  For us, eating at chain restaurants is rare and when it is fast food it becomes even rarer – but sometimes you just get the urge (McDonalds cheeseburgers are my usual weakness).
So today is Sunday and I’m in search of propane since one of my 30 pounders went empty.  I also grab the 5 pounder if it has been used a few times – especially here were you pay for propane by the gallon – imagine that, paying for what you actually purchase instead of a flat rate based on the size of the tank.  The place closest to us is closed so we head to the nearest Ace hardware with propane only to find that they only do Blue Rhino exchanges and do not refill.  The clerk recommends Amerigas at the other end of the complex so we head there.  Unfortunately they have a problem with their propane tank and cannot fill tanks.  So we head to Cousins Ace hardware, the next closest Ace.  While we are out=and-about Lori and I start discussing supper plans.  Since we still have to hit the Weis Market to restock we know we will be out for awhile.  We had originally planned on spaghetti and meatballs for dinner but are now taking about dining out.  Since we will have food in the car when we go to eat we decide against a sit down restaurant and agree on fast food.  Burgers? No. Tacos? No. Chicken? No. That eliminates about 90% of the fast food establishments!  We finally decide on Arby’s.  I haven’t been to an Arby’s in 40 years and Lori never has been so we have to spend some time going through the menu (It’s bigger than I remember).  I got the Philly and Lori got the Thanksgiving sandwich.  Both meals were good. The one think I don’t remember from Arby’s of previous visits was the three-pepper sauce.  Was that good with the fries!
