Subj : Mayo was: Commodity cheese-Un [1] To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Fri Dec 15 2023 15:47:48 Hi Dave, DD> toppings are Tomato, Mayonnaise (never Miracle Wimp) and Onion. Oh. DD> and bacon. RH> Never Miracle Whip; don't even let the stuff come into my house. For RH> the past few years we've been using an all natural avocado oil based RH> mayo, bought at either Sam's Club or Wegman's. I still like Duke's but RH> they started adding BhT to their mayo a while ago so found this as an RH> alternative. DD> That sent me to my Bing search engine. BhT is "Butylated DD> hydroxytoluene (BHT), also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, is a DD> lipophilic organic DD> compound ... ^^^^^^^ DD> So, it's organic and not some laboratory "Frankenfood" Try to convince Steve that it's safe for foods. DD> I can get Duke's at a local Sav-A-Lot (el Cheapo discount) Grocery. If DD> I can't find Ducke on the shelf I get Hellman's. Can't remember the DD> last time I bought Kraft mayo. First time we lived in NC, it was my "go to" mayo. Moved away when Steve joined the Army and landed in TX about 15 months later. Thought I'd be able to get it there but it was a no go. My neighbor, from Georgia, brought back several jars when she went home for Christmas and wouldn't take anything for it. DD> Mustard if fine on other things but not my burger. And ketchup is RH> Agreed, mustard doesn't belong on a burger. DD> for rench fries that are badly done when there's no Tartar Sauce DD> to be had. RH> I prefer my fries with a bit of salt or malt vinegar. DD> Salt is a must - either the real stuff or the Nu-Salt (potassium based DD> rather than sodium based). I stock malt vineger in my cupboards but DD> it's mostly used on fish reather than fries. I tried the Nu-Salt but went back to NaCl when I found that salt didn't affect my blood pressure. At the time it didn't keep my potassium level up either. DD> I was referencing Popeyes (no apostrophe) when asking about flounder DD> as that is featured as its fish sandwich and they have several shrimp DD> offerings. RH> No, we go there for the chicken. Steve had some Bojangles chicken RH> recently and said that Popeyes is much better but the BoBerry biscuit RH> is better than the Popeyes plain biscuit. DD> I'm not a fan of Popeyes fish sandwich. And I leave the shrimp with DD> them unless it's a *very* special offering. And I leave their fries DD> behind as well - opting instead for mashed potatoes w/Cajun gravy. But DD> mostly I keep to the chicken (dark meat preferred) offerings. I used to like most fish sandwiches; some were better than others but never got one at Popeyes, usually McD's (hold the cheese!) or BK. Now, most often, I'll go for some form of chicken. My usual side at Popeyes is cole slaw. DD> 8<----- CUT ----->8 DD> Wendy's ain't my place for shakes. The "Frosty" is too thick to DD> drink (like DQ's "Blizzard") so it's hard to manage whilst driving. RH> True, but we either go in and sit down or just sit in the vehicle until RH> done. My favorite Blizzard is the mint M&M. DD> I think Dairy Queen has their shakes almot "right" for drinking and DD> driving . When I was working out of town last summer I'd stop at the DD> local DQ for a medium chocolate shake to make the 30 mile drive home DD> more tolerable. It would last me city limits to city limits unless I DD> was risking "brain-freeze". Bv)= Tasted pretty good on a hot day too. Our ice cream intake definately goes up during the summer but not as much as it did when we were first married. We'd get a $.15 double scoop cone every week after doing laundry, occaisionally going for the 4 scoops for $.25. I think once or twice we got the 6 scoops for $.35--that impressed my sister so much when she came to visit once that she went back the next night for another 6 scoop cone. DD> 8<----- EDIT ----->8 DD> My main problem with the C-PAP is getting untangled when it's time for DD> a potty break. Bv)= RH> I can see that; I've got a 20' tube (mostly rolled up, about 8' of RH> actual length) on my home machine. Since it's so noisy, we keep it RH> outside the bedroom and just run the long tubing to my side of the bed. RH> My travel machine is quieter so we just put an 8' tube on that. It RH> rides mostly in the camper but has gone on other trips (Alaska, Utah, RH> New York) with us. DD> My C-PAP is pretty quiet. So that's not a worry. The whole thing came DD> in "travel bag" packaging so I assume I could take it on the road DD> should the need arise. >> CONTINUED IN NEXT MESSAGE << --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
