Cheap topic ideas during the dark time

This was RtSO's brilliant idea posted under some entry for the week I'm on the road trip:
 
Cheap topic ideas during the Dark Time: link to those old little commented upon posts.

Columnists do it, right? They go on vacation; their paper runs the best of the old columns.

Now my plan is to start the day with some post relevant to Maryland restaurants. Later in the day to...

...have not a link, because that might discourage some dilettante readers, but an actual copy of an early Dining@Large post that I liked and was sad that it didn't get much discussion. Top Tens, though, are probably already outdated.

And then for those readers who want to suffer with us on the road trip, when I have internet access (I sound as if I'm going to darkest Africa), posts about the journey.

From you I need a great title for this series of repeat posts. You know, Postcards From the Past. (OK, gag.) Let's get to work here.

How about...
"Elizabeth's Largesse!"

RE: VIEWS or Re-Views?

Hmm ... "Blast from the (not-so-distant) Past"?

New Looks at Old Treads?

Or, Comments - Part Deux?

Second Helpings

I know its Your sandbox, but its not clear from above, will you include the old posts or just the topic?

I'll include the whole post. In fact, I'll post one now to give you the idea. Then before I'm committed to the presentation, you can make suggestions.

Encore!

Leftovers

Leftovers, of course.

Reflux at Large?

I like Second Helpings, RtSO.

This may be asking a lot of the Blogware (no snide remarks, this time) but can they vary the typeface and or the colour of the original post? That would allow the more doltish of us to understand what's old and what's new (at least by the end of the Dark Time.)

I think given its limitations, we would have to rely on the posted on: date. I could put the whole thing in italics or bold, but that's about it. (Or strike through, but that might be a little hard to read.)

Flaccid Reflux

Now that just sounds to me like a personal problem.

Don't ask me for a reason but I really like 'Leftovers'.

Time to stuff the ballot box. Not so much because I suggested it (okay, I do think its clever and better than the two I was going to submit before it hit me), but Leftovers are old and crusty. Whilst Second Helpings are taking another bite of the apple; coming back again, because we want to, not to finish off the blue moldy stuff (that's all my leftovers. Who knew there was so much blue food in the world. And it all tastes the same.)

Second helpings, for all the reasons given above, especially Singular Robert's.

Second Helpings is my favorite.

I like Second Helpings or Second Servings, only because "Leftovers for Breakfast" probably sends the wrong connotation.

For a change, my D@L reading was current and the weather map was not that interesting, so I went back to the beginning (I admit, I was somewhat late to the sandbox.) Your second and third posts introduced the idea of TTT (which you mused would only continue until you got bored [always be careful what you wish for]) and good take away meals. I'm still laughing from the number and tone of responses. For all current readers: go back to the beginning. Even with repeats coming during the Time of Darkness, the early days look to be a hoot, given where the blog is now.

Pictured is a blog conducted over water cress sandwiches and tea. What we have now is a food fight in the finest tradition of the Drones Club. It makes for a full life.

Hello.
