Subj : Mayo was: Commodity chees [1] To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Sun Dec 17 2023 19:43:34 Hi Dave, DD> That sent me to my Bing search engine. BhT is "Butylated DD> hydroxytoluene (BHT), also known as dibutylhydroxytoluene, is a DD> lipophilic organic compound ... DD> So, it's organic and not some laboratory "Frankenfood" RH> Try to convince Steve that it's safe for foods. DD> Maybe he'll come around. Remember how he was with pork after being DD> downwind of a pig sty or was that a factory farm?. It was a hog slop pond that had overflowed after a rain storm. He stayed off of pork for about 11 years. I'm not going to push the BhT issue as there are a lot of alternatives which there wasn't with pork. I'm glad he saw the light on that; makes my cooking so much easier. He still likes turkey bacon but doesn't insist that I eat it or use it in cooking; I can go "whole hog" (G) with real bacon. DD> I can get Duke's at a local Sav-A-Lot (el Cheapo discount) Grocery. RH> If DD> I can't find Ducke on the shelf I get Hellman's. Can't remember RH> the DD> last time I bought Kraft mayo. RH> First time we lived in NC, it was my "go to" mayo. Moved away when RH> Steve joined the Army and landed in TX about 15 months later. Thought RH> I'd be able to get it there but it was a no go. My neighbor, from RH> Georgia, brought back several jars when she went home for Christmas and RH> wouldn't take anything for it. 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. RH> I tried the Nu-Salt but went back to NaCl when I found that salt didn't RH> affect my blood pressure. At the time it didn't keep my potassium level RH> up either. DD> I found that if one uses too much Nu Salt it gets bitter. I wouldn't That was another reason I gave it up, even a little tasted too bitter for me. DD> use enough to affect my potassium levels. However the two potassium DD> sulphate caplets I used to take every night to replace the potassium DD> that was lost through use of Lasix (water pill) did cause my doctor to DD> tkae note. So now I just take a single caplet every other night. If I DD> start to have problems with muscle cramps again I'll increase thae DD> frequency. I probably should keep some potassium on hand for muscle cramps, have found that mustard or a shot of vinegar works just as well. I've a packet of yellow mustard on my nightstand. 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 never eat the Popeyes biscuit. But, Jasper likes them. If he's not DD> here then they become bird food. They're ok but not nearly as good as my homemade. 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. RH> I used to like most fish sandwiches; some were better than others but RH> never got one at Popeyes, usually McD's (hold the cheese!) or BK. Now, RH> most often, I'll go for some form of chicken. My usual side at Popeyes RH> is cole slaw. DD> Popeye's cole slaw is pretty good. As is Kentucky Fried Colonel's. We rarely go to KFC, just isn't as good as Popeyes. DD> I don't even notice the half slice of sheeze on the Mickey D's filet. DD> And Burger Whop's Whaler (fish sandwich) back in the 70s was much more DD> to my taste than the current offering. Used to be a whole slice of cheese, and since it's the "American cheese", it doesn't add anything to the sandwich. But, I agree, the 70s sandwiches were much better so I usually go with chicken. DD> 8<----- CUT ----->8 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)= RH> Tasted pretty good on a hot day too. Our ice cream intake definately RH> goes up during the summer but not as much as it did when we were first RH> married. We'd get a $.15 double scoop cone every week after doing RH> laundry, occaisionally going for the 4 scoops for $.25. I think once or RH> twice we got the 6 scoops for $.35--that impressed my sister so much RH> when she came to visit once that she went back the next night for RH> another 6 scoop cone. DD> That was, no doubt, some years ago. My local B-R brags about their U$1 DD> single scoop cones. That was in the mid 70s. We don't have a B-R nearby but do have a great home made ice cream place, took folks from the 2019 picnic there. A single (generous) scoop is $5. but Steve gets his free for being retired military. He usually has them add a couple of dollars to the "cop card" which pays for the free cones for military & first responders of all branches. I like to split my single scoop into 2 smaller; last week I had chocolate on the bottom and cinnamon (real, not the red candy) on the top. DD> 8<----- EDIT ----->8 DD> Still, reinstalling the webbing around my head after having to whizz DD> is a genuine PITA. I've gone to a ersatz urinal to keep from having to DD> "make the trek". Amazing how inventive we can get when needed. Bv)= Whatever works. I hang the cannula hose on the upper part of my nightstand & make sure the hosing is out of my path of travel.
