Hi Dave,
DD> I also had one of the "racks"
RH> I know, we each have certain cookware we like, others, we'd just as
RH> soon rehome. I like my cast iron fry pans but Steve has a lighter
RH> weight non stick one that he usually grabs. The cast iron is just as
RH> non stick; it just weighs a bit more. (G)
DD> (
https://tinyurl.com/E-BAIT-IT) But I donated it to the Goodwill
DD> because it spattered bacon grease around the interior of the
RH> Probably a rack thing that you drape the bacon over? I could never see
RH> the sense of that one either.
DD> That's wot I sayed, wasn't it?
That's what I deduced without looking up the https. (G)
RH> BTW, we found Ale 8 One in KY; I try to get a 6 pack of the diet
RH> version (Ale 8 Zero) when we're going thru the state. Either RH>
they've RH> reduced the caffiene or I don't notice it but I've not RH>
been aware of any great amounts.
DD> I am told part of the effect comes from ginger. That may be. But I've
DD> had ginger ales and Vernor's Ginger Soda with tastable amounts of
DD> ginger in them and never got the "speed" like reaction I got from Ale
DD> - 8
RH> Maybe a combination of ginger and caffiene? I gave Nancy a can of it
RH> when she came down for the picnic we hosted in 2019; I don't think it
RH> had enough ginger for her tastes. (G)
DD> Was that an Echo Picnic? Did I sleep through one?
That was the last official one. Out of town attendees were Nancy,
Michael, Dale & Gail and Mark Lewis. Haven't heard much out of Mark
these days, hopefully it's work keeping him busy.

Back in 2012 Steve and I were delegates to the Southern Baptist
Convention's Annual Meeting, held in NOLA. He ordered allegator "bites"
one night for supper; got a generous portion of breaded/fried allegator
pieces. While they were hot they were pretty good; after they cooled off
they were rather rubbery. I don't think we'll ever order them again, but
we can say that we've tried it. The next night we went to a place called
Mother's for supper and I had probably the best boiled shrimp I've ever
had, and an even more generous portion than Steve's alligator. He had to
help me finish them. (G)
