Mama’s Dinner Review

425 Sidney St Trenton ON



Waitress was a tad slow to bring menus to table with little customers in place, but wasn't too bad a wait time. Seemed a little upset. Heard her saying she can’t wait to "get outta here". 

Food was the worst it has ever been. Ordered steak medium it came well done and burnt. Eggs were ordered over easy but came as a hard yolk. Ordered a side of bacon it was crispy and burnt. Home fries and toast were the only things that weren’t burnt. (Me and my father ordered the same thing).  

Waitress never came to table to offer refills on coffee or water. 

When we were leaving the waitress was very rude because she wanted us to pay for both at once and not separate. When my dad went up to counter to pay for himself he told her he was paying for 1 breakfast, and she put in both. He told her that he was only paying for his and that I would be paying for my own, to which she yelled (I heard her while i was at the table on the other end of the place) "well you always pay together" and that is in fact a complete lie, since me and my father have ALWAYS gotten separate bills. Then she started ramming the draw of the cash register in, smashing the buttons and rudely asking what all he had, did he have a coffee, did he have the side of bacon. He calmly stated that he was the one with coffee but I had the bacon. Dad was going to order a meal to go for the girlfriend but they changed their menu and don't sell the Corned beef on rye, so he paid and left to call and see if there was something else she wanted.

I went up next so I could get a take out container for my burnt meat I didn't like and couldn't eat and the potatoes. I paid for mine and asked for a to go container, she actually said "oh did he finally figure out what else he wanted?". I replied nicely (even though I wasn't feeling nice at all) "I am asking for a container for the potatoes I didn't want and the burnt steak that I can't eat". She gave me a container and asked what steak was burnt, I said well mine and my dads but I won't eat burnt stuff. She muttered saying we should have called her over and said something. I said nothing in return, packed up my stuff and left.

Me and my dad normally leave a 10-20% tip depending on service we get, we left nothing at all. It was too horrible an experience all around to give something for.

 

Never going there again. We all went there quite often but no more.  

She lost the place 3+ clients. Me, my dad and his girlfriend, and any people that my dad sometimes takes there with them us.. 

Stories I Can’t Show My Mother

Written by:Ann Tinkham



Definitely adult type stories. Good quick tales that will leave you laughing at some of the things written. It's a great read for all women, things that you don't normally talk about on a day to day basis. I loved this book of short stories, it had so many quirks in each story, twists that you don't really see coming, some you guess at come but not always in the way that you think that they will.

These stories are not overly wordy, they do not overly describe things. They give you enough that you can just picture what's going on in the situations which is great, reading too much details detracts from the overall story.

Will definitely be on the lookout for more of this kind of book.

I received a free copy of this e-book free and am giving it an honest review, of my thoughts.

Through the Psyche of Ambrosia: Part I : Worlds Beyond Scripture: Book 1

Written by: Byron Fortin
Narrated by: John Joseph Rogers
Series: Worlds Beyond Scripture, Book 1
Length: 6 hrs and 59 mins
Unabridged Audiobook
Release date: 06-09-18
Language: English
Publisher: James Byron Boyd



So I got both the audio-book and the written book, and they are both one in the same as it's the same story, but I will try to remember to put both read/listen in even though I listened to it.

So when you read or listen to this book the story actually starts on chapter three which is actually done on purpose. The author describes many things in the book, which can help you visualize what you are listening/reading even better There is so many twists and turns in the book you never know what will be around the next corner as you read/listen to the book. I personally think it was a well written book, though some of the descriptions could be cut a bit.

Ambrosia who is a male gets a chance to experience a whole new world that he has never seen before. The book follows his journey into the modern era. New clothes was one of the first things he got introduced to, and the description was quite funny as to what he thought of it. As he is trying to cope with this life he is living, he feels haunted by things in his past and has to think what can be done to cope.

The narrator was great, he pronounced everything at a good pace, never rushing through or drawing out the scenes. He put voices into each of the characters, even making it seem like each one had the proper emotions (example sadness). His voice rose and fell in all the right areas. He does a great job on this book.

Publisher's Summary

Meet Ambrosia as he is invited by a wealthy philanthropist to leave behind his life of general obscurity, safely sheltered from society, to enter a world of intriguing characters in the city of Hartland. But if he only knew what was to come, he may have never stepped onto that plane.

He soon becomes terrorized in a dream so intensely real his mind cannot seem to let go of it and is plagued by disturbing images of infatuation from another time and place. Afraid he is spiraling into madness, Ambrosia seeks out the help of those around him. Yet he has no idea what he is about to uncover. There may be more mystery and magic in his new home than he ever cares to admit.

Brooklyn Bitters

Written by:Sally Saylor De Smet



Please note that this has some "spoilers" from the first bit of the book, but in no way is a huge amount that will ruin your experience to read the book for the first time.

Kate feels so guilty all the time because of how her sister's ( Stacy ) husband died. She goes to the cemetery often to talk to the grave. She had changed colleges to stay at home and be with her ailing mother. Her boss took her off of her fiction and put her onto cookbooks. Forces her to go to a conference and when she asked her sister to look in on their mother, their sister said they would phone but couldn't go over there for ________ reason (I'm not saying why, you can read that "excuse" for yourself lol). Thankfully the neighbor (a friend of her mother) said she would pop in from time to time.

Kate goes the conference in New York and meets a stranger named Gunner. He tries to learn every single thing that he can about her. They get to know each other over the next few hours, mostly him learning about her, but she did get some information about him, he says that they are destined to be together. Whether that was true or not you will have to read for yourself.

I loved the little twists that this Romance book took me too. There is many things to take in with this book and I loved every minute of it.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am giving it an honest review of what I thought of it.

The naughty Naughty Chair

Illustrator: Margaret Anne



The book is about a couple children name Lucy and Robert, and of course their mom. Robert does a naughty thing and is told to sit in the chair for a certain amount of time.

Cute and fast read for children of a young age. It shows that a child shouldn't misbehave and that wishes might come true but not always in the way you would expect. Pictures are cute and depict what is happening in the story they are reading. Many details in them to take in.

Jerkwater

Written by: Jamie Zerndt



Ok so the first thing I will talk about is the cover itself. To be completely honest, this cover would never grab my attention nor make me think that the contents would be anything that I would like to read. Its just pink with a fishing lure on it. I know the age old saying don't judge a book by its cover, but it's human nature to do so, and if the cover doesn't grab your attention then the group you are targeting the book towards could be lost.

Definitely has some adult-ish content, the first one you will read will make you laugh, which is a description of a turtle that is sunning itself.

Each chapter is about a different persona and what is going on in their life, There is Shawna, Kay, Douglas, and Paris. I will say some chapters start slow and there are times I had to re-read something because of how it drags a scene out and I lose track, but it was still worth the read. I think many could enjoy this book.

Book Description (from Amazon):

Set in Mercer, Wisconsin, where tensions over Native American fishing rights are escalating, JERKWATER is told from three alternating points-of-view:

Shawna Reynolds, a young Ojibwa woman who doesn’t much care for white people to begin with, and who is quickly being pulled in a direction she may no longer have a desire to resist;

Kay O’Brien, Shawna’s 64-year-old, usually drunk, neighbor who is still grieving the loss of her husband;

And Kay’s son, Douglas, who now finds himself in charge of running the family’s auto repair shop while dealing with his own feelings of guilt.

JERKWATER is a story about the racial tensions churning just beneath the surface of what often appears to be placid, everyday American life.

Rescue 12 Responding

By: Faye Hamilton
Narrated by: Charles Fowler
Length: 8 hrs and 1 min
Unabridged Audiobook
Release date: 07-02-19
Language: English
Publisher: River Crossing International



This book starts out talking of a girl and follows her a little, then it starts to follow along the 2 paramedics, who meet this young girl and sparks their belief in God. These paramedics are a team called Rescue 12. It follows along as Rescue 12 go to many calls and the book discuses the issues of what is happening, what is going on in the area (for example someone who was mad, it talks of anger talking to this person making them go off). There is so much more to this story as you read/listen.

The narrator was great, he pronounced words properly, and put voices to the characters. His voice rose and fell in all the right areas.

Between the great book and the great narrator it was great to listen to, Especially as I had a migraine so the soothing voice and being able to sit in a dark-ish cool room and just listen was a nice experience.

I loved this book, it is really moving. All the mini scene stories along with the main story really go together. It shows the spiritual battle of good versus evil going on behind the scenes that you don't see.





I received a free copy of this audio-book free and am giving it an honest review of my thoughts.

Faye Hamilton has also said that she has more promo codes for audible and should you wish to have this awesome book your more than welcome to send her a message and if she has an extra you can have for an honest review.

Publisher's Summary

What if the voices we hear in our heads are actual eternal beings that grow in strength by the choices we make?

David and Jonathan are paramedics that deal with life and death and the consequences of human choice. On Rescue 12, they respond to the tragic drug overdose of a group of teenagers at a high school party. One girl survives to tell what she witnessed in her near-death experience. This encounter results in the spiritual awakening of David and forces Jonathan to confront his own Christian faith which he abandoned when he came out as gay to his father.

What happens when the ambulance arrives? What happens when a patient dies? Why do so many things seem outside our human control? Why does God allow for sin, death, and suffering? What’s the point of trying?

These questions are answered, the emergency rescue calls are shared, and the lives of the two paramedics are forever changed by the spiritual warfare that they encounter.

You Don't Belong Here

By:Sean O'Toole



Cute children story good for all ages.

There aren't too many words to most of the pages which helps the kids to focus on whats going on in the picture and to listen to the story without getting bored and distracted (but there is some with too many when kids start to get antsy to look at a new picture) . Cute childlike drawings draw the kids in to look more closely at whats going on and remark on it.

The book is about a pair of muskrat brothers, and even describes what a muskrat is so that the parent or teacher doesn't have to stop the story and explain. Marty and Manny get separated when Marty gets caught and is brought to a new place with animals he has never seen before and who have never seen anyone like him before.

The book shows some good team work and the acceptance of differences in each other.

I just wanna say that the ending is very cute and all kids will enjoy it in my opinion.

__________________________________________________________________________________



Two muskrat brothers become displaced due to a storm and end up in a lady's backyard. They make a big mess back there, and the lady decides it's time for them to go. She calls an exterminator who comes and sets traps to catch them. He catches one of the muskrats and relocates him in a forest near a pond. He and his brother had never been apart before, and now he was all alone in an unfamiliar place. Some other animals approached him while he was drinking from the pond. They had never seen a muskrat before and were not as welcoming as he would have liked-until the muskrat proved himself worthy of living there by helping the animals defeat a dangerous foe. The other animals realized that he had some unique qualities and skills and did in fact belong at the pond, and they became friends. And someone special may have rejoined the muskrat to make for a happy ending.
