Hi Dave,
DD> toppings are Tomato, Mayonnaise (never Miracle Wimp) and Onion. Oh.
DD> and bacon.
RH> Never Miracle Whip; don't even let the stuff come into my house. For
RH> the past few years we've been using an all natural avocado oil based
RH> mayo, bought at either Sam's Club or Wegman's. I still like Duke's but
RH> they started adding BhT to their mayo a while ago so found this as an
RH> alternative.
DD> That sent me to my Bing search engine. BhT is "Butylated
DD> hydroxytoluene (BHT), also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, is a
DD> lipophilic organic
DD> compound ... ^^^^^^^
DD> So, it's organic and not some laboratory "Frankenfood"
Try to convince Steve that it's safe for foods.
DD> I can get Duke's at a local Sav-A-Lot (el Cheapo discount) Grocery.
If DD> I can't find Ducke on the shelf I get Hellman's. Can't remember
the DD> last time I bought Kraft mayo.
First time we lived in NC, it was my "go to" mayo. Moved away when Steve
joined the Army and landed in TX about 15 months later. Thought I'd be
able to get it there but it was a no go. My neighbor, from Georgia,
brought back several jars when she went home for Christmas and wouldn't
take anything for it.
DD> Mustard if fine on other things but not my burger. And ketchup is
RH> Agreed, mustard doesn't belong on a burger.
DD> for rench fries that are badly done when there's no Tartar Sauce
DD> to be had.
RH> I prefer my fries with a bit of salt or malt vinegar.
DD> Salt is a must - either the real stuff or the Nu-Salt (potassium based
DD> rather than sodium based). I stock malt vineger in my cupboards but
DD> it's mostly used on fish reather than fries.
I tried the Nu-Salt but went back to NaCl when I found that salt didn't
affect my blood pressure. At the time it didn't keep my potassium level
up either.
DD> I was referencing Popeyes (no apostrophe) when asking about flounder
DD> as that is featured as its fish sandwich and they have several shrimp
DD> offerings.
RH> No, we go there for the chicken. Steve had some Bojangles chicken
RH> recently and said that Popeyes is much better but the BoBerry biscuit
RH> is better than the Popeyes plain biscuit.
DD> I'm not a fan of Popeyes fish sandwich. And I leave the shrimp with
DD> them unless it's a *very* special offering. And I leave their fries
DD> behind as well - opting instead for mashed potatoes w/Cajun gravy. But
DD> mostly I keep to the chicken (dark meat preferred) offerings.
I used to like most fish sandwiches; some were better than others but
never got one at Popeyes, usually McD's (hold the cheese!) or BK. Now,
most often, I'll go for some form of chicken. My usual side at Popeyes
is cole slaw.
DD> 8<----- CUT ----->8
DD> Wendy's ain't my place for shakes. The "Frosty" is too thick to
DD> drink (like DQ's "Blizzard") so it's hard to manage whilst driving.
RH> True, but we either go in and sit down or just sit in the vehicle until
RH> done. My favorite Blizzard is the mint M&M.
DD> I think Dairy Queen has their shakes almot "right" for drinking and
DD> driving . When I was working out of town last summer I'd stop at the
DD> local DQ for a medium chocolate shake to make the 30 mile drive home
DD> more tolerable. It would last me city limits to city limits unless I
DD> was risking "brain-freeze". Bv)=
Tasted pretty good on a hot day too. Our ice cream intake definately
goes up during the summer but not as much as it did when we were first
married. We'd get a $.15 double scoop cone every week after doing
laundry, occaisionally going for the 4 scoops for $.25. I think once or
twice we got the 6 scoops for $.35--that impressed my sister so much
when she came to visit once that she went back the next night for
another 6 scoop cone.
DD> 8<----- EDIT ----->8
DD> My main problem with the C-PAP is getting untangled when it's time for
DD> a potty break. Bv)=
RH> I can see that; I've got a 20' tube (mostly rolled up, about 8' of
RH> actual length) on my home machine. Since it's so noisy, we keep it
RH> outside the bedroom and just run the long tubing to my side of the bed.
RH> My travel machine is quieter so we just put an 8' tube on that. It
RH> rides mostly in the camper but has gone on other trips (Alaska, Utah,
RH> New York) with us.
DD> My C-PAP is pretty quiet. So that's not a worry. The whole thing came
DD> in "travel bag" packaging so I assume I could take it on the road
DD> should the need arise.
