Hi Dave,
RH> tire me out--lingering effects of the radiation?
DD> I wasn't tired, as such. Just lazy. And those Healty Choice deals are
DD> the trifecta, esay, tasty, inexpensive.
RH> Probably still a bit wiped out from your time in the hospital. Lying
RH> around doing a lot of nothing interspersed with bursts of activity can
RH> be tiring.
DD> I went last night and really enjoyed the broccoli-cheese soup. But
DD> didn't wolf down as much fish as I had thought I would. Even ignoring
DD> the French fries that came with. Still I was filled and happy.
DD> I see I've already posted this one. Have to find a different "Burton".
DD> Gordon's has two locations in North Carolina. Concord and Kannapolis.
DD> Probably neither is convenient to you. My Gordon's is just across
DD> town.
RH> Concord is over by Charlotte, about 3 hours away. Kannapolis is a bit
RH> north of that, not sure how much so but out of the local weather
RH> forecaster's range. Need to find something closer.
DD> Or find out if your Legion/VFW post buys from GFS (their main schtick
DD> is as a restaurant food supplier) and tack a bacon norder on to their
DD> regular delivery. Bv)=
Our Legion/VFW doesn't operate that way. They have a nice commercial
kitchen (they rent it out during the week) but for meeting nights a
member (they volunteer, Steve did the Legion meeting meal in March) that
gets a good bit of use. It's also a dry post and a non smoking (in the
building) one.
DD> Plus they've taken to selling rotisserie chickens after 4 in the
DD> afternoon for just U$3 each. And they have Minor's soup bases (branded
DD> GFS but the USDA number tells the tale)
RH> Good deal! The advantages of living in a bigger city! Wake Forest is
RH> nice but doesn't have (but in pockets) the small town feel it had when
RH> we first moved here. Raleigh keeps encroaching and more & more trees
RH> are being cut down for housing. Town may have to change its name to
RH> Wake Deforested soon.
DD> That sort of sucks rocks. My grandparent's town, Carlinville, IL is
DD> home to Blackburn College which has a program of planting walnut trees
DD> evet
DD> year along county roads - with the permission and knowledge of the
DD> land owners/farmers. Students gather the fallen black walnuts in
DD> season and
DD> receive tuition credit for their labour. And there is some arrangement
DD> with a tree service company and sawmill to "thin" the stands of trees
DD> from time to time.
Sounds like a great idea, keeps the black walnut trees going. Some years
ago Steve was able to get a couple of nice pieces of black walnut from
his brother. We knew a local woodworker who turned them into bowls, kept
one, gave the other to sister in law (brother had passed away before the
bowls were ready).
