We're having a great time all together this weekend in Omaha - Terry, Robert and Fred, Pat, Tania and Duane from Milwaukee. Five of us drove up to Norfolk, NE to a couple of vacuum shops for a little hunting trip and brought back some cool treasures. The old appliance store I found a number of years ago is now gone, along with the solid-tub Speed Queen washers and Bendix Super-Fast dryers they had for sale in the used appliance department. The vac shops were fun, we met a great guy at Norfolk Vacuums that will probably be on the list for future gatherings, we had a great time at his place.

Dinnerware
Stoneware = Lenox Temper Ware in Percussion from late 70's to early 80's. I love the weight and shape of the pieces and the pattern has grown on me. I have a friend that got this as a wedding gift back in the 70's and still uses it everyday. I found this set on Craigslist and have added from ebay, etc. We still have our summer napkin wardrobe out, but you can see the plates pretty clearly here.

LaCasa pizza is an Omaha institution, as are a number of other pizza joints. I can't remember the last time anyone said "I'm hungry for Pizza Hut or (Holy Pulsator forbid) Dominos." We have four or five hometown pizza parlors within a short drive from here, there is never a shortage of unique choices - all freshly made and outstanding. LaCasa is a favorite of most who visit, very thin Neopolitan style. Light marinara tomato sauce and finely ground beef topping with a mozz & romano cheese mix. Mmmmmmmm. Don't forget the onion rings!
A friend of mine used to work at the downtown location many years ago and I was able to meet some of the original family-owners and enjoyed some "off the menu" Italian dishes that defy words. The west location near us is owned by one of the brothers of the original (link) family, few can tell any difference although the sisters will claim there is ;-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK | ||
