Hi Dave,
DD> She was a "social worker" and attending my local branch of the
DD> University of Illinois to complete her Master's in Social Work when
DD> they dropped the bomb.
RH> Did she finish the Master's or just let it drop? My mom was told she
RH> had 5 years to get her Master's in Library Science, then the state said
RH> "you can't do it; you have a husband and 5 kids to take care of". She
RH> proved them wrong, pulling down A's and B's in all her course work.
DD> She 86ed the Masters. The three weekly trips between the campus and
DD> home (50 miles each way) would havehad he choosing between gas for the
DD> car and food for the tummy.
Sounds like she made the better choice in the long run.
DD> 8<----- CUT ----->8
RH> While travelling, we saw some place advertising chicken rings. Couldn't
RH> stop to investigate, figure it must have been chopped and formed
RH> chicken.
RH> Now that we are out of the OH/IL/IN (White Castle) territory, I'll
RH> probably not think about chicken rings again. It was unusual enough
RH> that Steve commented on it, something he usually doesn't do about fast
RH> food.
DD> I'm sure that White Castle isn't the only place doing them. I'd almost
DD> bet the Jack-In-The-Box would be guilty of them as well. And Tyson has
DD> them available in the freezers at you local stupormarkup.
I think I'll take a pass on them.
DD> Ground chicken is very versatile ......
I used to buy a lot of ground turkey but go with more ground beef now.
Probably should go back to at least some turkey.
