Hi Dave,

RH> So step out of your comfort zone and try something different. The
RH> bagged mixes are good when the combination of fresh ingredients is
RH> either expensive or you know you won't use them all before they go bad.
RH> We usually get about 4 salads (2 meals) out of a bag, YMMV.

DD> Oh, I do. And I usually get the low-end bags and tart them up to my
DD> taste. And I will usually, if doinf bagged salad - make that my meal
DD> so I don't have to worry about the remainder becong a "science
DD> experiment" in the reefer.  Bv)=

RH> Understandable. Wegman's does a lemon sweet kale salad that's basically
RH> the same as the sweet kale we get at Sam's. Wegman's says that it's
RH> only 3 servings so I'll either make 4 small salads or 2 larger ones,
RH> depending on the what else is being served.

DD> The only timees I do a "side salad" involve restaurant settigs. Lately
DD> if I do salad at home it is the whole meal. Somepeople think I'm crazy
DD> for doing as I do. I tell them "Works for me. So I'm NOT crazy - just
DD> eccentric." This is one of my made up on the fly recipes that worked
DD> out very well. Had it for swupper last night.


DD>       Title: Can Opener Corn Chowder
DD>  Categories: Five, Vegetables, Chilies, Dairy
DD>       Yield: 3 Servings

It's a no can (no pun intended) do around here because of the corn.
Don't think peas or beans would work as well and I don't want Steve to
have a migraine.
