While I was in Pawhuska today, I had an hour to kill and since it was the noon hour, I finally went to this little restaurant which has been there for years called "Greek's." It wasn't at all what I expected. There wasn't a single Greek item on the menu, not even baklava. I'd heard it had a Mexican menu, but there wasn't a single Mexican item on the menu, either. It's basically a diner with burgers, chicken fried steak, and fried chicken. I usually like diners, but this one wasn't my favorite. The chicken fried steak was okay, but I didn't like the gravy. It had an odd look to it, which made me think that they used water instead of milk to make it. The french fries were dipped and very good, though.
I still had some time to kill after lunch, so I went to the Osage Trading Post out on the highway and bought a pound of dried Indian corn for my Thanksgiving dinner and a two pound sack of blue corn meal. The corn meal price has gone **way** up....it used to cost me $5, but this one was $8. I may have to start cooking with mundane normal white corn meal in the future!
After Pawhuska, I went to Bartlesville to visit my parents, and my mother had cooked this huge lunch with a big roast beef and baked sweet potatoes and steamed cauliflower with cheese melted over it and baked apples and other stuff....so I had to not mention my lunch in Pawhuksa. No wonder I'm getting fat! She also sent me home with a bag full of homemade oatmeal cookies, which I'm busy devouring as we speak.
