And on a related note

And on a related note to the above blog about bad food from a Sizzler, I came across a product that offers an alternative to traditional laxatives with lots of extracts and supplements included to help out your plumbing. There is a special going on to get some bottles for free, so if this is your type of thing, by all means, check it out and see if this is the colon cleanse product that you’re going to be interested.

Sizzler in Barstow

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

I’ve always been a fan of Sizzler. When I was a kid, I loved to get the All-You-Can-Eat Shrimp plate. For years I’ve not lived near a Sizzler (possible because of too many visits for the shrimp plate).

On a recent trip to California, my family and I stopped by the Sizzler in Barstow. I should have turned around as soon as I saw four tour buses in the parking lot, but we pushed in anyways.

At the intersection of I-40 and I-15, the Barstow Sizzler must specifically cater to tour buses headed from LA to Vegas and back. The restaurant started all of their customers in a line to order food and then brought the plates to the tables. I ordered shrimp (of course) but it turned out to be fishy, bland, and chewy. My kids got grilled cheese which was cold and disgusting.

Needless to say that on the way back through Barstow we didn’t even eat at a restaurant near that Sizzler.

Warning! Avoid at all costs.

Home Theater Seating

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

I’ve written before about the components of our home theater system, and also about many of the pieces that make up a good home theater system. I’ve even written about some of the upgrades that I’d like to make to the system to improve the sound quality and overall experience.

What better addition to a home theater than some super comfortable theater seating. If you can dedicate an entire room to be a theater in your home, then don’t skimp out on a perfect seat or row of seats. Heck, redesign the room to have stadium seating. And enjoy the show.
