I guess the quotation marks in this one, sent by Waldo, are to denote that "Homeade" isn't a real word. My guess it's a sauce/juice made from homes - like lemonade or limeade. Mmmm nothing like an icecold glass of homeade...
Is it just me, or do mom-and-pop restaurant menus seem to be especially prone to overquotation? Especially words like "delicious" and "famous", as if to say "WE aren't claiming this food is delicious, but we once heard someone say it was".
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Sandwhiches is even worse!
Yet "biscuits," a more difficult word to spell than either "sandwiches" or "homemade," is spelled correctly.
Hahaha! Your commentary on this picture made me laugh. :)
Better than "ho-made", at any rate.

Actually, homeade is a lovely, spiced alcoholic beverage that streetwalked have been known to enjoy in colder climes.
