You've mentioned that before. I believe (IIRC) the store owner's name
was Lowe and so long as they didn't try to duplicate the signage ot the
logotypes there was bugger-all that Lowe's corporate could do about it.
From their web page: In the late 1940s E.M. "Bud" Lowe started selling
candy and sundries from a single truck in Littlefield, Texas. In 1963,
the Lowe family purchased their first grocery store in Olton, Texas,
establishing a business founded on faith, community care, and hard work.
The regional chain is heaqdquartered in Littlefield, TX.

I pretty much cook to please myself these days. If I were cooking in a

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro but I do use it in some things or they
simply don't taste "right". However, it's very easy to overload and get
that Ivory soap taste/feel. And one tablespoon of fresh is very minimal.
Even chopped.
