Subj : Mayo [1] To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Tue Dec 19 2023 14:40:01 Hi Dave, 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?. RH> It was a hog slop pond that had overflowed after a rain storm. He RH> stayed off of pork for about 11 years. I'm not going to push the BhT RH> issue as there are a lot of alternatives which there wasn't with pork. RH> I'm glad he saw the light on that; makes my cooking so much easier. He RH> still likes turkey bacon but doesn't insist that I eat it or use it in RH> cooking; I can go "whole hog" (G) with real bacon. DD> Turkey Bacon is salty and smoky but not very porky. It doesn't have the mouth feel of 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. DD> 8<----- WHACK ----->8 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 D> to tkae note. So now I just take a single caplet every other night. If DD> I start to have problems with muscle cramps again I'll increase tha DD> frequency. RH> I probably should keep some potassium on hand for muscle cramps, have RH> found that mustard or a shot of vinegar works just as well. I've a RH> packet of yellow mustard on my nightstand. DD> I sometimes get cramps in my arms unrelated (I think) to the low DD> potassium woes. I'll gulp down three coated, regular-sized (325 mg) DD> aspirin and the cramp subsides in about five minutes. Most often I get them in the legs, usually after a lot of running up and down the front steps while loading or unloading the camper. DD> 8<----- SNIP ----->8 DD> Popeye's cole slaw is pretty good. As is Kentucky Fried Colonel's. RH> We rarely go to KFC, just isn't as good as Popeyes. DD> Few chicken places are. The Colonel's former partner started a thing DD> called "Lee's Famous Chicken" and their chicken was *much* better that DD> KFC. But, they were out-marketed and have shrunk back to a regional DD> mini-chain. Never saw a Lee's, guess we were in the wrong region. DD> I don't even notice the half slice of sheeze on the Mickey D's DD> filet And Burger Whop's Whaler (fish sandwich) back in the 70s DD> was much more to my taste than the current offering. RH> Used to be a whole slice of cheese, and since it's the "American RH> cheese", it doesn't add anything to the sandwich. But, I agree, the 70s RH> sandwiches were much better so I usually go with chicken. DD> I don't remember that. We've had McDuck's here since the early 60s. My DD> Lenten season go-to was their "Filet Meal" with a fish sandwich, DD> fries, and hot chocolate. And the cheese even back then was the DD> half-slice. I DD> asked the manager of my nearby store "Why the cheese?" and he shrugged DD> and replied "Company Rules". And a manager told me to ask for no cheese if that's what I wanted, then the sandwich would be made up fresh and hot. 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. RH> That was in the mid 70s. We don't have a B-R nearby but do have a great RH> home made ice cream place, took folks from the 2019 picnic there. A RH> single (generous) scoop is $5. but Steve gets his free for being RH> retired military. He usually has them add a couple of dollars to the RH> "cop card" which pays for the free cones for military & first RH> responders of all branches. I like to split my single scoop into 2 RH> smaller; last week I had chocolate on the bottom and cinnamon (real, RH> not the red candy) on the top. DD> We've got more than Baskin-Robbins. Heck we used to have aHoward DD> Johnsons I Scream store. These days you'd be hard pressed to find DD> anything Ho-Jo's I see them every once in a while in our travels but haven't eaten at one since I was a kid. --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
