Hey… guess who finally located her camera USB cord? Right after she remembered her desktop had a camera card reader?

Let’s start off with this pretty picture of the Miss Albany Diner in Albany, N.Y. Wasn’t it a beautiful day? It wasn’t raining for a change. Ahh the memories…

I’ve actually been postponing this restaurant review, because I feel weird that they don’t have a decent web site. Look at it. Pathetic. It’s part of their charm, I suppose. It’s a dinky, old diner located in the warehouse section of the city. It was once used as a set for the utterly depressing film, Ironweed, which starred some folks you may have heard of: Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, me… Okay, so maybe my part was smaller than theirs. I’ve never actually seen the whole thing you know. I read the book and so was flattened by it, that I couldn’t bring myself to watch the whole movie. Just the first ten minutes, until I show up waaay in the background. Anyhoo, if you’ve seen the movie, the diner still looks like that.

The Miss Albany Diner is a complete greasy spoon. No doubt about it.

And it tastes just like a greasy spoon should! Delicious!!

I think the sunshine went to my head, though, because I didn’t so much grasp the concept when I ordered the lean sausage. Yeah, lean. Non-fatty. A few herbs instead of fat. At a diner. Not good enough. Despite it being made in their kitchen, I wouldn’t recommend it.

My boyfriend, however, has excellent taste. He ordered the Mad Irish Toast. It has pecan cream cheese between the french toast slices, and is drowned in a butterscotch whiskey sauce.

Uhh, yeah. Get that. Definitely get that. I snuck a bite or two, and it was delicious.

It is a shame the website doesn’t have their menu on it though. There is really a lot of interesting, different stuff on there. If you live in the area, or ever visit, you should check it out.
