 RH> Same here. Our local Pizza Hut downsized into a drive thru during the

We went to a Caribbean restaurant a long time ago.  Our opinion is about
the same as yours -- plentiful good food.  The one we went to was quite a
drive from our Columbia house or we would have made repeat visits.

We use one of those regularly for cheeses and sandwich meats.  The one we
had sort of gave up the ghost a while back.  It could barely reseal one
bag before its charge gave out.  The new one we bought claims to be able
to do sixty bags on a charge.

Same here.  We also like a "cheese food" spread that has a pretty good
cheddar flavor.
