WAWA means the lead goose in the V- it's an Indian word. it's the one leading the flock.
Anyway- it's a convenience station- started out a little like 7/11- just foods- coffee etc- but about 6-8 years ago they started building super wawas- made to order food and 24 hour fuel- safe- clean- always a super reliable place to stop. I will go out of my way to stop at a wawa esp if I'm travelling by myself- double especially on my bike. And yes- heavenly goodness.
I effing love WaWa
I knew there was a reason i liked you.
Outside of all the awesome advice.

If I do this first part the 2nd part doesn't happen...I just wanna sleep..he can have all the wild monkey sex he wants I just wont be participating much.
Hahaha ditto to that! I really don't understand the concept of getting drunk to get some.0 -

huzzah!!!
I used to help build WaWa's - so I got to learn some cool things- it's also why their little logo that you probably never pay attention to (I never did LMAO) is a single flying goose).
I also really truly genuinely love wawa- they provide a much needed service and I love that they FEEL safe- it NEVER EVER feels like a sketchy gas station- I used to work nights as an inspector- and finding a safe place to stop and get coffee- fuel up and go pee was critical. gas stations are such a security issue- so it's one of the reasons I truly love them.
Plus we do a lot of bike trips- and we have a lot of happy memories eating food and drinking gatorade on the curb of a wawa.0 -

I would add a step before step 1.
Use the internet.
There's no reason to find oneself at a restaurant only to frown at the menu choices. Most menus are online and good restaurants are often happy to answer questions about meal content on the phone. Are you sensitive to gluten? Allergic to saffron or cinnamon? Call and ask!
My wife was UNBEARABLE when dining out. In her defense, certain ingredients triggered sensitivities such as bloat or swelling in hands and feet. She narrowed them down by process of elimination but in doing so unscientifically she resembled a hypochondriac navigating an ingredient mine field while declaring "this makes me itch, that causes bloat", and it would happen with the poor server during the dinner rush. Painful.
Now she takes the time to research and call ahead at a calmer hour and has a few places she trusts.
While this is an extreme case it highlights that sometimes eating out can be complex, but it doesn't have to be.

I don't have an SO …so the last part of that sentence or me is usually:
a) find some random and go back home for wild monkey sex
or
b) pass out on couch with lights and tv on ….

Sorry for the off topic but are you from near Philly? There arent many people that i know who call it a hoagie.
I'm 10 minutes from Center City (on the Jersey side of the Delaware) and can hear the stadium fireworks from my front yard. You nearby?
Was it from Wawa?
I love my Wawa!!!
The biggest news in my area is the city approved a plan for a wawa. I had tears of joy.
I see your wawa, and I raise you a Chick Fil A.
Seriously, there is one under construction 5 minutes from my house that is set to open on DH's birthday, August 7th. He's already said that's where we're going to eat. I'm just excited I won't have to drive 30 minutes away just for a damned chicken sandwich or salad (depending on my mood) anymore! :laugh:
And, what exactly is a "wawa"? I'm in SC, haven't seen one of those.

If I google Wawa it's a city in North Western Ontario famous for having a big wooden goose...hehe0

Chickfilas are a dime a dozen in my area. I literally have 8 or 9 in a 10 mile radius. But they are awesome.
Wawa, is a convenience store with great food. And even better they are in the mfp database!

Rubbish.
You can't see a wawa and raise us a chain story.
You don't even know what wawa is!!!
Chick Fil - A is meh- it's fast food and that's about it. WaWa is a convience store but they make custom order food as well. There is absolutely no way in any world a chik-fil-a that is better than a wawa. just not happening.0 -

Ok ok, point taken, recanting my statement 0 -
I found it helpful to order dressingu/sauces/cheese on the side, eg. When i go for chicken cesar salad I ask for cheese and dressing on the side. Then I can decide how much of that I eat if any.0

@JoRocka I'm throwing this one out there....Krauszers Food Store.
OP...I like your way of thinking. Why over complicate it. You give a solid simple solution. Thank you.

Did that to a Walmart All American sub - once. Now I have the recipe and just weigh what I got. Boy was the database off by about 300 calories.
This is an excellent idea. I should double check my Subway sandwich next time.
Yeah, the schwarma I like is a good 200 calories more than most related entries in the database, by my reckoning.
It takes a lot of time and effort to learn how to eyeball this stuff, though. Especially for people new to counting.
Dude I can't even guess chicken schwarma- I don't bother. I'm pretty sure I have a "*kitten* it I ate to much" entry LOL
Also- I'm totally a translate- I grew up saying sub- now all I say is hoagie.
and a Trenton Pork Roll. yeah- that's totally a thing.
What else would you call pork roll?0 -
