***** Pepperidge Farm Garlic Texas Toast.

Real simple tale to tell you guys, last night at 8pm Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats while shopping at Walmart for- lemon pepper rotisserie chicken and fresh ears of corn also purchased (for the first time) a $2.34 package of Pepperidge Farm Garlic Texas Toast. When we got home- Jeff Eats threw 4-frozen slices into the pop-up toaster and I gotta tell you that 2 minutes later- the piping hot Garlic Texas Toast was absolute dynamite!- as were the chicken and corn!

Like I said 2-seconds ago, a real simple tale to tell…

If you like garlic bread, Jeff Eats can’t even imagine- your not enjoying Pepperidge Farm Garlic Texas Toast!

You can check pepperidgefarmcom for retail outlets/info.

For you non-math majors out there, last night’s meal cost a grand total of $4.33 (chicken $2.50, 2 ears of corn $.66, 4 slices of toast $1.17)!

* $2.50 Walmart Lemon Pepper Rotisserie & Traditional Chickens.

Way-back on February 11, 2016 Jeff Eats told you guys about-how delicious Walmart’s Rotisserie Chickens were. That tale is reprinted down-below!

Long story short, since that tale appeared, I have literally been telling anyone and everyone who would listen about these slices of toastchickens.

Anyway, a few days ago a Walmart cashier (Linton Boulevard & Military Trail- Delray Beach store) told me that every day at 8pm the $4.99 rotisserie chickens are marked down to $2.50 a piece. When those chickens are sold, the next freshly made batch are priced at the “regular” $4.99 price. Just so you know, last night at 8:02pm Jeff Eats purchased 4- Walmart lemon paper rotisserie chickens and the cashier charged me 10 bucks- so I know the lady (cashier) spoke the truth…interestingly, nowhere in the store is this “markdown” advertised in print, this is simply a “word of mouth” situation! The one caveat to the $2.50 “tale”- Jeff Eats isnt sure if this markdown is a company-wide policy or just limited to the store I mentioned- the bet here, it’s in all-stores, but like I just said, I’m not sure!

Let’s close this one out by telling you that Walmart’s lemon pepper and tradional rotisserie chickens are dynamite!

As for the $2.50 “tip”- don’t say that Jeff Eats never gave you nothing!

* Walmart’s Lemon Pepper Rotisserie & Traditional Rotisserie Chickens.

Got a real simple story to tell you guys…

For years, Jeff Eats’ very dear friend Roy has been telling me that Walmart’s Lemon Pepper Rotisserie and Traditional Rotisserie Chickens were sensationally delicious- and for years Jeff Eats has paid his very dear friend Roy no mind!- That is until yesterday at 3:46pm when Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats just happened to notice a 7 person line waiting at the deli-counter in the Walmart located on Military Road & Linton Avenue in Delray Beach for Lemon Pepper Rotisserie and Traditional Rotessire Chickens which were coming-off 2- huge rotisserie grills. To make a long story short, in the span of 4 minutes Jeff Eats counted 12 1 lb. 13 oz. $4.99 birds being “snatched up” -with two (1 Lemon, 1 Traditional) of them finding their way into Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats’ shopping cart!

Let me wrap this one up for you guys, Jeff Eats’ very dear friend Roy was absolutely right Walmart’s Lemon Pepper Rotisserie and Traditional Rotessire Chickens were sensationally delicious. For you guys “into” Costco, Publix, Winn Dixie, Whole Foods, Boston Market trust Jeff Eats when I tell you that “their” rotisserie chickens are no match for Walmart’s Lemon Pepper Rotisserie and Traditional Rotessire Chickens. Now you guys and Jeff Eats both know that “taste” is a subjective thing- what you like -I may hate and vice versa, so do what you’d like with the above Walmart Chicken Information!-and those of you with any sense of good taste can thank Jeff Eats later!

The Show

“Found at Sea” is a hilarious comedy show starring comedian Rick Corso.

Plenty of jokes, stories, impressions and music about life on land and cruise ships. Rick constantly performs on nearly every cruise line including the world’s largest ships where he is currently a huge favorite. He’s rarely on land so we took this opportunity to have him bring his comedy along with his friends and other ship favorites Comedy Juggler Billy Prudhomme and Comedian Carl Guerra to the Boca Black Box for one night only.

Bio

Originally from New Jersey, now a South Florida Resident, Rick Corso spent twenty-two years as a Los Angels comedian. He’s made over thirty national television appearances, was selected as one of Showtime’s Comedy Club All-stars and also picked to be a member of Comedy Central’s “The A-List. ” He moves smoothly in and out of characters and some lively impressions. His excellent use of his voice and his body combined with well-written material make his stage personalities freshly funny and a far cry from the stale stereotypes employed by many stand-ups.

* Whole Foods Market Launchies Free Lunch Giveaway For Back-To-School.

* 29th Annual Dancin’ in the Streets.

Not exactly sure as to why Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats have never “done” Dancin’ in the Streets before…

Just purchased 2-General Admission Tickets and 2-Tickets to see The Outlaws at The Lyric Theatre.

from StuartDancinInTheStreets.com

The Downtown Stu­art Busi­ness Asso­ci­a­tion has announced the 2016 lineup of musi­cal acts for the 29th Annual Dancin’ in the Streets! The largest street party and music fes­ti­val on the Trea­sure Coast will take place on six stages with over twenty bands from 3 p.m. — mid­night on Sat., Aug. 20 in Down­town Stuart.

Anchor­ing the fes­ti­val will be national head­lin­ers The Out­laws in a lim­ited seat­ing spe­cial per­for­mance at The Lyric The­atre. Round­ing out this year’s lineup will be Ben Prestage, Pub­lic Sounds Col­lec­tive, Nou­veaux Honkies, The Humdingers and JessLee on stage one. Stage two includes The Sierra Band, Sis­ter Baby, Nashville record­ing artist Raquel Ren­ner and the Ram­blers, Ladies of Soul and Relapse Band. Bryce Allyn Band, Smok­ing Sec­tion, Morn­ing Fatty and Moska Project will per­form on stage three. Tony Solomon and Full­house Enter­tain­ment present local ama­teurs and up and com­ers on stage four. And stage five includes per­form­ers Cas­sidy Diana, Chris King, 10k Hours, Deal James and Sum­mer Gill, Sting Assas­sins and Ryan & Friends.

“Every year Dancin’ in the Streets brings incred­i­ble energy and fun to His­toric Down­town Stu­art,” said event chair Bill Moore. “This year promises to con­tinue the tra­di­tion and deliver an amaz­ing evening of live music, danc­ing, tal­ent and com­mu­nity spirit.”

Lim­ited tick­ets for this spe­cial indoor per­for­mance by head­liner The Out­laws will be avail­able start­ing in July at The Lyric The­atre box office and online at www.lyrictheatre.com. Gen­eral admis­sion tick­ets will be avail­able start­ing in July at Sea­coast Bank loca­tions in Mar­tin, St. Lucie, Palm Beach and Indian River Coun­ties, at Sneaky Tiki, and at Kilwin’s Choco­late and Ice Cream in Down­town Stuart.

Every year, the streets of Down­town Stu­art shut down and the com­mu­nity comes out for a day of live musi­cal per­for­mances, food, drinks, ven­dors, kids activ­i­ties and of course – danc­ing in the streets! It all began in the Sum­mer of 1987, when a call was made to com­mu­nity lead­ers from the Stuart/Martin Cham­ber of Com­merce to brain­storm a fundrais­ing event that would keep the newly estab­lished Stu­art Main Street pro­gram alive. Twenty-nine years later, Down­town Stu­art is still Dancin’ in the Streets! Today, the event is pre­sented by the Down­town Busi­ness Asso­ci­a­tion of Stu­art and Stu­art Main Street. It con­tin­ues to be Down­town Stuart’s biggest fundrais­ing event, draw­ing thou­sands of peo­ple to the area each year. Funds from Dancin’ in the Streets sup­port down­town revi­tal­iza­tion efforts like out­door din­ing, the River­walk expan­sion, and free com­mu­nity events includ­ing Hob­gob­lins on Main Street, Rock’n River­walk and Christ­mas on Main Street. In the past decade alone, Dancin’ has brought nearly 65,000 peo­ple down­town and raised almost a half-million dollars.

The event also sup­ports vol­un­teer groups from com­mu­nity non-profits. In 2015 con­tri­bu­tions were made to the Humane Soci­ety of the Trea­sure Coast, the Stu­art Police Explor­ers Pro­gram, Road to Vic­tory Mil­i­tary Museum, House of Hope and Mar­tin Volunteers.

Dancin’ in the Streets is spon­sored by Coast 101.3, Cour­t­house Com­mons, LLC, Bud Light, Sea­coast Bank, The Boat House, and Mulligan’s Beach House. For more infor­ma­tion, visit StuartDancinIntheStreets.com or facebook.com/stuartdancininthestreets.

* Life Lesson 101!

A German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he’s lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch.

The old German Shepherd thinks, “Oh, oh! I’m in deep trouble now!”

Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly,

“Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder if there are any more around here?”

Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees.

“Whew!” says the panther, “That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!”

Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes.

The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther.

The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, “Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what’s going to happen to that conniving canine!”

Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, “What am I going to do now?” But instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn’t seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says…

“Where’s that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!”

Moral of this story…

Don’t mess with the old dogs. Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery!
Bull and brilliance only come with age and experience.
