Mmmmmm, The Penguin

Harry and I hate Tuesdays. We feel that Tuesdays really have nothing to offer the work week. Everybody knows Monday is rough; first day back from the weekend, you're tired, overall, it's just going to be yucky, but you get through it. Wednesday is, for lack of a better term, hump day. You are half-way through the week. You know you can make it. Thursdays mean one more day to go; meanwhile, Fridays rock! You've made it. But Tuesdays, what redeeming quality can Tuesdays offer? The answer, my friends, is none!

To help us get through this deplorable day, Harry and I decided to go to the Penguin Drive-In downtown. If you frequently watch "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" on The Food Network you may have seen the Penguin. It was featured last year when the show came to Charlotte because of it's remarkable (greasy) comfort food. After our run, Harry and I loaded up in the Jeep and headed to the Penguin. We got a half order of fried pickles (yes, they fry everything here in the south), 2 single blocks (cheeseburgers), and shoestring onion rings. Delicious, although we completely canceled out any good we did with our run. Oh well, you have to do what you can to get through the worst day of the week.

Thank you, Penguin, thank you!
