Today I was in the Caldwell area--long story--and drove out Cleveland Blvd (Nampa/Caldwell highway) towards Nampa. When I passed Midway Lunch I slowed a bit. It is still Midway Lunch, although the building looks newly painted. I figure the interior is much the same as it used to be. I let my mind go back and saw us sitting in that second room at a big table or in two booths. I don't suppose the woman who always asked us, "You likey fly lice?" is still there. After we figured out what she was saying, we always did likey. I loved their pork and seeds. I remember a hamburger or two served up, Richard. I also remember their restroom. How about you, Ann?
Midway Lunch. I think it's where we learned to like Chinese food. I know Dad always thought Chinese food fixed him after he'd been sick.

It's certainly where I learned to like pork and seeds. They served the pork with mustard, seeds, and ketchup, and before I could handle the mustard I used the ketchup to make the seeds stick. Yum. I also remember chow mein was very green. Was it slimey, too? Maybe, but not slimey in a bad way. Yes, let's go back to those big family dinners, just for a bit.
let's go to midway lunch when i bring ben home to meet the family. the pork and seeds are the best. has anyone found them anywhere else?
