Small town restaurants...

I'm on a mission to point out the good, the bad and the downright yucky of small town Alberta restaurants.

Starlite Diner Car, Bowden

It looks super-cool from the highway, so I thought I'd give it a try!  The first time I tried, though, it was about 7 or 8pm and it was closed!  I found it a bit ironic that the "Starlite Diner" was CLOSED when the stars were lit up.

Anyways, I was able to stop by for lunch one day.  Inside, it was done all up in an old-school kind of way.  The benches are white and red leather/vinyl and it has an overall aura of the authentic 1950s/60s diner complete with milkshake machines.

The food though - not much variety and kind of bland/boring.
I'd go again maybe, just for the atmosphere.

Too Busy, Too Cheap

Step 1: Get husband off the rigs.
Of course, this requires him taking non-oil/gas work.  Which of course, pays way less.

Step 2: Work my butt off so he can STAY off the rigs.

Step 3: Save all of our hard-earned cash.
Of course, this means not eating out at restaurants as much.
