A diner after a curmudgeon's heart


As Mrs. Curmudgeon can tell you, I hate to read "homemade" as an adjective for a restaurant's fare, since said fare was actually prepared in said restaurant, not a home. Apparently, someone at Gunther Toody's corporate offices agrees: they now offer "dinermade" soups with their blue plate specials.

Unfortunately, this wonderful new adjective is trademarked, and so can't be used more widely. Every silver lining has a dark cloud, it seems.
