There were some pretty hateful (and personal) comments directed to the owner in there...</p> <p>Anyways, Like Joty, I decided I wanted to form my own opinion of the place. I braved the lunch rush today, with 3 kids in tow! &nbsp;Either the previous blog was overly harsh on them, or they have improved their food and service. I thought it was wonderful. They were busy, but seeing that I had 3 young children with me, the man there carried our food to our table for us and helped get lids on the drinks before they had a chance to spill! &nbsp;He was very kind and helpful.</p> <p>The kids ordered hotdogs and lemonade. I got a Frito boat (and a few bites of their hotdogs). I thought the food was great and the kids ate really well... for kids anyways! They were BIG hotdogs!</p> <p>So - I wanted to voice my opinion. I know I didn't give them good odds of making it, but after visiting, I think they'll do ok! &Aring;s for all the &quot;behind the scenes&quot; drama, firing, errands, etc... I'm not going to let one angry and disgruntled employee interfere with my next hotdog! &nbsp;LOL! I will be &nbsp;back :)</p> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/sunshine/28057 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/sunshine/28057 <p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; ">Kern County Clerk Ann Barnett has announced that her office&nbsp;<a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; " href="http://www.bakersfield.com/102/story/462592.html">will no longer&nbsp;perform or solemnize any marriages</a>.

What does your family spend per month on groceries?&nbsp; We have a family of 5 - baby is nursing and eating rice cereal only - and we're trying to eat on $300 a month. I never can quite stay in our budget. Am I crazy to think this should be enough?&nbsp; If you don't mind sharing, what do you spend? http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/sunshine/12704 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/sunshine/12704 It's been my experience that people just can't resist talking about their children! In an effort to change the mood around here, I thought I'd ask about the cute, funny, or embarassing things your kids have said! I know we ALL have a story or two!&nbsp; Don't have kids?&nbsp; How about niece or nephew... or maybe you've overheard something in a store or restaurant.<br /> <br /> My kids actually inspired this post during lunch today. I was nursing my 6 week old daughter, while my 2 and 4 year old were arguing over whether the baby was drinking milk or juice. My 4 year old very confidently walked over to me and pointed at my chest saying, &quot;She's having milk!!!! This side is for milk. This side is for juice.&quot; http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/sunshine/11554 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/sunshine/11554 Just wondering where's the best spots to see the fireworks tomorrow night? Do they still set them off in Capitol Hills? We're planning to go with 2 other families - we all have young kids (under 5) so we want to be just close enough to entertain them, not terrify them!&nbsp; Anyone suggestions?
