Hi Dave,
DD> My favourtie Asian buffet is the lunch buffet at Flavour of India.
DD> They don't have abominations like strawberry-rhubarb pie (not my
DD> favourite) but they do have mango ice cream AYCE. I have to pull
DD> a gun on my self to keep from doing stupid amounts.
RH> I'd probably take some of that. The pie is a treat for me; I grew up
RH> with my dad growing a patch of rhubarb every spring and mom making pies
RH> from it. One summer I worked at a camp and during our training week or
RH> so, somebody had donated some strawberry shubarb pies. I like both
RH> strawberries and rhubarb, both together and separatly--those pies were
RH> yummy!
DD> That's why there are choice. I've eaten S/R pie and find it overly
DD> sweet for my taste. I prefer my rhubarb (and gooseberries) slightly
DD> tart. Not "puckery" but not tooth-achingly sweet either.
I like rhubarb both with and without strawberries. Just depends on if
the berries are available or not as to which way I'll get it. They're
usually available around the same time in the spring here, tho finding
the rhubarb can be a bit of a challenge sometimes.
RH> It does look good. We went to Costco after my doctor's appointment
RH> today, had lunch before starting to shop. They have a new item out, an
RH> Italian calzone with basically the same meats as on their meat lover's
DD> I try to never go to the grocery store hungry. That certainly helps
DD> keep mr from committing wretched excess. Bv)=
RH> That's why we ate lunch before doing any shopping. Lots of folks out
RH> for pre Labor day shopping so there were a lot of "try it" stands
RH> scattered thruout the store. Of the different things we tried, we
RH> brought home some strawberry granola and a triple pack (3 different
RH> kinds) of Kind granola bars. We didn't try a lot of stuff as we were
RH> full from lunch but those were something we might have bought without
RH> trying anyways.
DD> I avoided the Labor Day shoppers by ordering my groceries on-line and
DD> picking them up at Hy-Vee. With my "Perks+" membership I can do either
DD> pick-up or delvery if I order more than U$25 worth. And given today's
DD> $$$ getting to U$25 is very easy. I only order staples this way.
DD> Non-packaged meat and fresh produce I select in person. Bv)=
I'm still doing all my shopping in person. We were down in Raleigh, near
the Costco so decided to pick up a few things. And, since it was lunch
time..................(G)
