Hi Dave,
DD> I can buy Duke's at my local Sav-A-Lot. Never seen it in any of the
DD> other grocery stores. Which is sorta kinda odd as Sav-A-Lot is a
DD> no-frills "budget priced" place.
RH> Interesting. I can get Duke's at most any of the local grocery stores
RH> now that I'm back in the south. Our older daughter's husband is from GA
RH> and a few years ago they requested that we bring some Duke's when we
RH> come to visit. He got her hooked on it; I think they usually get it via
RH> Amazon now.
DD> This just in. Hy-Vee carries Duke's in both regular and light. I was
DD> there picking up stuff for tonight's supper when I stumbled across it.
And picked up a jar, I presume.
DD> The writer credit on this recipe has got to be a pseudonym.
DD> Title: Lazy Girl Pizza Margherita
DD> Recipe by: Alexis Trebeck
RH> Most likely but it could be a Canadian relative.
DD> Alex' twin sister? That could be a Jeopardy question if true.
RH> AFAIK, he wasn't a twin; I'm 99% sure it's not a daughter. Niece or
RH> cousin, maybe.
DD> Or no shared DNA at all. Just the same surname.
True, don't know how common the name is in Canada. I still miss him
hosting "Jeoparday"; Ken Jennings is an ok replacement but not Alex.
Some of the guest hosts they had after Alex passed away were really bad
but I can tolerate Ken.
DD> Last year our terrific pal Tommy (who was such a delight
DD> to hang out with this Christmas, btw) brought his nice
DD> friend Ethan over for dinner and Catchphrase; we ate
DD> this soup and Ethan went on to be a guest on Jeopardy!.
RH> One of these days I may try out again. Did, and made the contestant
RH> pool when we were in HI but they only took folks that wore uniforms
RH> from that pool. Since I wasn't in the military, a doctor, fireman or
RH> whatever, they didn't call me. The in person tryout was fun, don't know
RH> if it would be so with it done on Zoom now.
DD> Good luck. This is what I needed parts from the grocery store to make.
Looks good; I did the traditional corned beef and cabbage, with boiled
potatoes, carrots and parsnips yesterday. We also have a couple of
corned beef cuts currently on the smoker turning into pastrami.
