I Can't Find

[rubicon]

I can't find is a reoccurring theme here. I'll name something I miss and if you know where to find it speak up.

I miss beefsteak/big boy tomatoes. Your turn

[Nucky]

A barber who will buzz my hair then shave my head. Been doing this for 25 years in NJ no problem but can't find any barber in our area too do this. The Barber shops in our area are much safer thought. Buzz and Shave in a Non Hip Hop Barbershop.

A deep, cool, refreshing lake we can swim in.....without worrying about bacteria or alligators.

A houseboat where we could wake up and see the mist on the water and the fish jumping.

Corn and Hanover tomatoes

[redwitch]

A soaking bathtub. Can't even find a hotel with one around here.

A true farmer's market. I know I'm spoiled but if you're going to sell produce, make it fresh from YOUR farm, not fresh off a truck in Orlando.

Steak tips.

[Taltarzac725]

Sometimes miss snow. Been in Florida since 1996 now with only a Spring trip to freezing El Paso, Texas in 2001 and one week to DC in May 2015 where we sweated a lot.

[BobsBurgers]

A real "Open 24 hours" diner. Could find one at nearly every intersection back in Pennsylvania/New Jersey. Very strange getting used to "diners" here in FL that close by 3pm.

You're describing Ontario, Canada - come on up.
You can rent a houseboat on a cool refreshing lake; the Canadian dollar is at a discount!

[Taltarzac725]

Elevation of more than 400 feet. I grew up surrounded by mountains in Reno, Nevada and a nice sized hill is even hard to find in Florida.

For the Villages, a Boston Market would be nice.

[raynan]

Legal Seafood would be nice in Brownwwood, restaurant with retail counter like TooJays.

[RedChariot]

Jersey tomatoes, corn, pizza, Diners. We are famous in Jersey for all the above.

100% agree! Plus I miss real delis.

Steamed blue crabs

[charmed59]

Real dim sum, where they roll it around on carts or bring it around on trays. Chinese markets, where you can buy a whole fish and lots of vegetables for very cheap. Good Indian food.

Oh Bare...so tempting with the temps high here!

Since we just retired we are planning our getaways for next summer and didn't think about our friends to the north.

We have never visited your wonderful country, but hubby and I decided not to travel to Mexico for awhile, and decided Canada was first on our list.

We are looking at a river cruise from Montreal, Toronto then down the east cost of the US.

I will talk to hubby about renting a houseboat. We had a 70 foot, 3 bedroom/2 bath houseboat and do miss it at times!

Thanks for the heads up on the exchange rate.

....and this is why I love the TOTV!

More like an icehouse on a glacier. And no central heat, but plenty of cold air.

Cornell chicken & salt potatoes

[rubicon]

Corn and Hanover tomatoes

My home in Central New York was surrounded by good rich farmland and truck farmers abound. There was a time (1960's) when I could drive over to Cherry Hill Road just minutes away from my home and ask Mr. Dennis for corn. Mr. Dennis obligingly would go out into his fields and pick me a bushel of corn for $1.00...corn that still had dew settling it and would be divided three ways my parents, my wife's parent and she and me

and because there were so many truck farmers produce stands along country roads were plentiful. Syracuse had a wonderful farmers market

Ice fishing is huge in Minnesota. a Saturday morning local T V sport show (1990's) featured a ice shack that was built for $100,000. It had every comfort feature a person could want ( refrig, stove, couch, etc) and seven ice fishing holes along it interior perimeter
Now that's devotion :D

Our tomatoes in Virginia are just plain perfect at this time of year!

Unfortunately, there are only 3 or 4 of these stands left. Some of them got together and opened a "store" at Rt. 20 and Half Acre Rd. The Auburn farmer's market pales in comparison to Syracuse's

[Carla B]

A good southern cafeteria with "home-cooked" food, like Luby's. Alas, they seem to belong to a bygone era.

True. And I am reminded of the godly aroma that permeates the air in mid September when they are harvesting grapes.

[rubicon]

My cousin lived in a little town named Cohocton. It had one stop light. As kids we wait by that stop light for the truck farmers to stop. run behind the truck and unload as much produce as we could. The memory of the taste of those sweet peas on the curbside still is as fresh as the sweetness of those peas. Can't find that either

[sallybowron]

Silver Queen Corn, Beefsteak tomatoes, good watermelon and Skyline Chili. Yummy, Yummy

[rubicon]

The boss (wife) says beefsteak tomatoes can be found at Winn Dixie at $1.29 a pound...at least that's what they are calling them

I've been buying them the past couple of weeks. They are from Canada. Nice sized tomatoes but they just don't taste like the beefsteaks I had growing up. Could be my taste buds are not the same either!

No shot at you, I get your drift. When the Diamonds prevent the entry doors from the house from opening its time to bust a move southward. :mademyday: I Love It Here! :clap2:

Yes! Good egg foo young (or yung, depending on which google result one uses.:p)

The good stuff should be called egg foo yum.

[vinsonowen]

Oops, I actually meant 'yong'! I'll blame auto-correct ;)

But agree it should be YUM :)

[CFrance]

I wasn't meaning to correct you! I was surprised how many different ways it's spelled on Google, including wikipedia who spelled it "young."

So yum it is!

When my daughter visits she and my wife drive off there to pick up kielbasa and they have to get the kielbasa with extra garlic. stinks up my car . I will have to drive over and pick up some knockwurst and have my wife make some capusta (sp?) love capusta

In my view egg & olive sandwich or a tuna sandwich always hit the spot

In my home town we had a bakery (Cato's) that made the best Italian and Sicilian breads. Their Sicilian bread ( they were Silicians) had a hard crust and the center of the bread was the texture of creamy cake. Loved it. Can't find Sicilian bread either

[l2ridehd]

Pizza, good Chinese take out, decent hot dog like Ted's in Buffalo, beef on weck, corn where you start the water boiling before you go pick it, good fresh tomatoes of any kind, a real flea market vs the re-sellers markets they have at Markets of Marion, Rennigers and Webster, a real bakery, a really good philly cheese steak, a crisp apple picked fresh from the tree and the juice just bursts out when you bite into it, and some others.

It seems to me that most of the local grown fruits and vegetables in Florida lack flavor. It must be the limestone soil or something. Just take a fresh grown strawberry from here and California and taste the difference. And I use California only as an example because you can get them at the same time. But could also compare to anywhere North of the mason dixon line except the seasons don't match. And because the population of Florida has a high percentage of transplants, many things are brought here from other places but the transition doesn't seem to quite make it as good as the original.

Now the warm weather, sunshine and no snow do make it a great place to live and I can travel and get all those things I miss.

An original Western Pa. Millers Hoagie. I have yet to find a sub/hoagie that compares to the Original Miller.
