Hi Dave,
DD> Maybe he'll come around. Remember how he was with pork after being
DD> downwind of a pig sty or was that a factory farm?.
RH> It was a hog slop pond that had overflowed after a rain storm. He
RH> stayed off of pork for about 11 years. I'm not going to push the BhT
RH> issue as there are a lot of alternatives which there wasn't with pork.
RH> I'm glad he saw the light on that; makes my cooking so much easier. He
RH> still likes turkey bacon but doesn't insist that I eat it or use it in
RH> cooking; I can go "whole hog" (G) with real bacon.
DD> Turkey Bacon is salty and smoky but not very porky.
It doesn't have the mouth feel of real bacon.
DD> I can get Duke's at a local Sav-A-Lot (el Cheapo discount) Grocery.
RH> If DD> I can't find Ducke on the shelf I get Hellman's. Can't
remember RH> the DD> last time I bought Kraft mayo.
DD> 8<----- WHACK ----->8
DD> use enough to affect my potassium levels. However the two potassium
DD> sulphate caplets I used to take every night to replace the potassium
DD> that was lost through use of Lasix (water pill) did cause my doctor
D> to tkae note. So now I just take a single caplet every other night. If
DD> I start to have problems with muscle cramps again I'll increase tha
DD> frequency.
RH> I probably should keep some potassium on hand for muscle cramps, have
RH> found that mustard or a shot of vinegar works just as well. I've a
RH> packet of yellow mustard on my nightstand.
DD> I sometimes get cramps in my arms unrelated (I think) to the low
DD> potassium woes. I'll gulp down three coated, regular-sized (325 mg)
DD> aspirin and the cramp subsides in about five minutes.
Most often I get them in the legs, usually after a lot of running up and
down the front steps while loading or unloading the camper.
DD> 8<----- SNIP ----->8
DD> Popeye's cole slaw is pretty good. As is Kentucky Fried Colonel's.
RH> We rarely go to KFC, just isn't as good as Popeyes.
DD> Few chicken places are. The Colonel's former partner started a thing
DD> called "Lee's Famous Chicken" and their chicken was *much* better that
DD> KFC. But, they were out-marketed and have shrunk back to a regional
DD> mini-chain.
Never saw a Lee's, guess we were in the wrong region.
DD> I don't even notice the half slice of sheeze on the Mickey D's
DD> filet And Burger Whop's Whaler (fish sandwich) back in the 70s
DD> was much more to my taste than the current offering.
RH> Used to be a whole slice of cheese, and since it's the "American
RH> cheese", it doesn't add anything to the sandwich. But, I agree, the 70s
RH> sandwiches were much better so I usually go with chicken.
DD> I don't remember that. We've had McDuck's here since the early 60s. My
DD> Lenten season go-to was their "Filet Meal" with a fish sandwich,
DD> fries, and hot chocolate. And the cheese even back then was the
DD> half-slice. I
DD> asked the manager of my nearby store "Why the cheese?" and he shrugged
DD> and replied "Company Rules".
And a manager told me to ask for no cheese if that's what I wanted, then
the sandwich would be made up fresh and hot.
DD> 8<----- CUT ----->8
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)=
RH> Tasted pretty good on a hot day too. Our ice cream intake definately
RH> goes up during the summer but not as much as it did when we were first
RH> married. We'd get a $.15 double scoop cone every week after doing
RH> laundry, occaisionally going for the 4 scoops for $.25. I think once or
RH> twice we got the 6 scoops for $.35--that impressed my sister so much
RH> when she came to visit once that she went back the next night for
RH> another 6 scoop cone.
DD> That was, no doubt, some years ago. My local B-R brags about their U$1
DD> single scoop cones.
RH> That was in the mid 70s. We don't have a B-R nearby but do have a great
RH> home made ice cream place, took folks from the 2019 picnic there. A
RH> single (generous) scoop is $5. but Steve gets his free for being
RH> retired military. He usually has them add a couple of dollars to the
RH> "cop card" which pays for the free cones for military & first
RH> responders of all branches. I like to split my single scoop into 2
RH> smaller; last week I had chocolate on the bottom and cinnamon (real,
RH> not the red candy) on the top.
DD> We've got more than Baskin-Robbins. Heck we used to have aHoward
DD> Johnsons I Scream store. These days you'd be hard pressed to find
DD> anything Ho-Jo's
I see them every once in a while in our travels but haven't eaten at one
since I was a kid.
