Hi Dave,
DD> Accordig to their on-line blurb: "Simmons Cancer Institute offers
DD> comprehensive cancer care, research and education at SIU School of
DD> Medicine." The doctor who did my gall bladder surgery is based there.
RH> Still, doesn't have a name I recognise.
DD> Itsa regional facility, unlike the Mayo Clinic or Cancer Centers of
DD> America.
Which is why I never heard of it. My sister that lived in Champaign for
several years probably knew the name, even tho she had no dealings (that
I know of) with them.
DD> 8<----- CLIP ----->8
DD> Popeyes spicy chicken is fairly mild. But if I want to get stupid they
DD> offer a Ghost Pepper spiced sandwich or wings.
RH> I go for the mild white; I like the taste of it better than spicy,
RH> dark. It's a few pennies more but worth it, IMO.
DD> Other than the "Tuesday Special" which is dark meat there is no price
DD> difference between the fron to the bird and back of the bird
DD> pieces...3
I've noticed some franchises do have a price differential between white
and dark. Probably a regional directive or something of that sort.
DD> They (Popeyes) have come up with another new "special" flavour for
DD> their chicken sandwiches .... according to their e-mail solicitation
DD> "Make it tangy too with our NEW Pickle Glaze." I'll give it a shot
Sweet pickle or dill? Neither one sounds appealing to me, tho I do like
the B&B pickles Chick-Fil-A puts on their sandwiches. Sometimes when I
order the tenders, I'll ask for a side of pickles for them. Some places
charge a (minimal) amount, other places, they're free. Those and a bit
of mayo give me a meal without the extra carbs of the bun.
DD> today or
DD> tomorrow. Doing two doctor appointments today - regular croaker in the
DD> morning then the pulmonologist this afternoon for a pro-op check
DD> before they remove something from my right lung.
I saw my primary care doctor today, had some blood work done last week
that she looked at. Saw some improvement in some numbers, always a good
thing.
DD> So, if I miss lunch today I'll do it tomorrow. Plus Popeyes is
DD> offering their chicken sandwiches for U$4.20 through April 20.
Sounds good, might be worth a trip to Raleigh.
