Monterey Peninsula

Oh......... I was a po' boy. I wouldn't have known you............... even if I had lived on that coast.

 

[reba]

O no... that area has rich folks and those who work for the rich folks... Dad did not have a church at that time he worked for the rich folks...

1960 we lived here. It was a working ranch then , mom was the cook dad a ranch hand... we lived in the paddock house

Sorry. I just assumed anyone living West of Hiway 1 was rich.

Hey Willie T FYI not all of California is Hollywood...or San Francisco
I knew the grand kids of the ranch owner ... that fancy place taught me i had more then they had... of what is really important

Do you know why that is? Salt absorbs surface grease, and helps keep the fries crisper.

That makes sense.

Awww....that is cute.

 

[Kathi]

You a Valley Girl?

Totally like to the extreme.
Like gag me with a spoon.

 

[Willie T]

McDonald's salt.........

That makes sense.

My sister and her husband were McDonald's managers for years until they bought their own Firehouse Sub Store. She told me that if the fries are well salted within seconds of being dumped from the deep fryer, most of the salt will become saturated, and fall right off. But.... if they wait even ten or fifteen seconds to salt the fries, a lot of the salt tends to stick to the fries.

It was one of the few early cars that had a drop-down arm rest between the driver and passenger. It kind of made it feel like bucket seats.

One of my favorite fries I get from a burger place are the fresh cut fries.They cut the potato right there and they seem like they have no salt on them at all.They are harder to find.

I was a mere child in the 60's being born in 1954, but OH, the magic carpet ride through the 70's

 

[Kathi]

Anyone remember the granny dresses?

 

[jasonc]

Yes, the 12 inch version.

those pictured aren't the original. notice the blue helmets? or is some off color green? hard to tell.

 

[jasonc]

This is a pretty good Santana performance.
Smooth

I like the song but well the video is rather sensous.

 

[jasonc]

gah, but my town has plenty of buildings of that era. I can post some of the pics and or take some myself. if you all are interested. some are older. as airdancer knows I have driven the oldest way to my town both north and south and counted these buildings. easy to spot. a few diners from the era and mostly gas stations.

 

[jasonc]

name the founder of mcdonalds. and the last name isn't the name of restaurant though those two are responsible for it but well let see if anyone knows.
