Hi Dave,
DD> I've been known to "enhance" the McCormick pre-mixed with some rigani
DD> which I met for the 1st time on Dale Shipp's deck during the l;ast
DD> picnic there.
RH> I forget; is the rigani oregano or basil?
DD> It's the Greek version of oregano. Here's a link to where I buy my
DD> seed and which has a good descriptions, etc.

Thanks, now I know what to look for, for our herb bed.
DD> Chris is a pretty good cook. Which I can't blame on his dad = who can
DD> barely make his own breakfast without much weeping, wailing and
DD> gnasing of teeth.
RH> Steve is a pretty good cook too. Right now he's making up some
RH> sauerbraten; I was going to do it yesterday but ot hit by a bug in the
RH> wee small hours. The worst of it is past but I just don't feel like
RH> cooking. The sauerbraten will be cooked, but then put in the fridge
RH> until I feel better. (Steve had the bug earlier this week, has gotten
RH> over it faster.)
DD> I was a better cook than my wife. I think the Food Network show "How
DD> to Boil Water" was written with her in mind.
RH> We are both pretty good cooks. Steve's mom made sure he knew the basics
RH> before leaving home. Time, travel, exposure to the echo here, and some
RH> Food network have made us both better as well as expanding our culinary
RH> horizons.
DD> Funny how that works. When I managed the satellite shop we had a boob
DD> tube going all the time. I watched a lot of Food Network and the shows
DD> I liked best were the real cooking shows - like 2 Fat Ladies, or David
DD> Rosengarten.
Alton Brown was one of my all time Food Network favorites. We first got
it in HI, enjoyed watching "Iron Chef" in the original Japanes, without
subtitles.
DD> Emeril was the only "showman chef" that I paid much attention to as he
DD> taught techniques as well as described ot gushed over it. Jerks like
DD> that creepy, spiky hair Fieri duds ..... well, this is a family echo
DD> so I'll be quiet now. Bv)=
I half watched Emeril on nights Steve had school and I had no outside
committments. Ususally had a hand sewing project on my lap that got more
attention.
DD> I was idling away some time yesterday and reading one of the
DD> ubiquitous "Best of" list6s ... this one for fast-food burgers.
DD> Hardee's finished ahead of sister chain Carl's Jr. but the winner was
DD> Wendy's. I like Dave's Single. But I druther have a Baconator. Bv)=
RH> I'd rather go for a chicken something or other than a burger most of
RH> the time.
DD> There was a "Best of" on chicken, too. Popeyes, of course, won but to
DD> my surprise Chick Filly was mid-pack, behind Kanes, Shake Shack, and,
DD> of course, Popeye's. KFC, McD's and White Castle brought up the rear.
DD> Still, when I pass by the local Chick Fil A the dual drive-thru lanes
DD> wrap around the building and back out into the street for half a
DD> block. No way I'd wait that long for *anyone's* chicken sandwich.
It's just That popular! Good to see they're expanding out of the Deep
South, glad that they still remain closed on Sunday.
DD> More likely to park, go in, get my grub and be on my way before the
DD> third car on-line has placed its order. Bv)=
That's what we have to do, we've a high top on the back of our truck,
plus radio antennas. Also, when we're towing, no way can we take the
camper thru a drive thru. We usually have to find a parking spot off
premisis when towing to have room to park the rig.
