Hi Dave,

 DD> cream, melt- in-your-mouth Moose Tracks Fudge-filled cups, and
 DD> Famous Moose Tracks Fudge!"

 RH> Now that one sounds like one I'd order. Last night's cone was chocolate
 RH> on the bottom, raspberry on the top. The young lady that works
 RH> Wednesday nights knows my regular is chocolate bottom, something else
 RH> on top. She was training in a new worker last night.

 DD> Most of my breakfast places know my "regular" order so if I want
 DD> something a bit different I have to flag my server down before the
 DD> order is sent to the galley.

Can you call ahead and let them know you're coming but wanting something
other than the usual? Or are there other ways to let them know, should
the server be otherwise tied up, sees you and puts in "the usual"?

 DD>      8<----- EXCISION ----->8

 DD> the heat just enough to screw things up. At my previous place I
 DD> had electric coils so it worked just fine.

 RH> I've got both cast iron and stainless steel dutch ovens. The place we
 RH> I'd ruther have a gas stove but Steve has nixed that because of my
 RH> asthma. BTW, the fall RV/radio net rally will be in Pigeon Forge, TN so
 RH> I've already told Steve that we're going to visit the Lodge outlet.

 DD> Been there, done that. At the original in South Pittsburg - just off
 DD> of I-24 pn the way to Chatanooga. Scored a really nice 12" ridged
 DD> skillet
 DD> and an oval griddle which sees a lot of use.

We saw a nice looking fry pan (looked to be about 7") at Bass Pro Shops
the other day in their Lodge display. Thought about it but figured we'd
wait until we go to the outlet--might get it at a better price. While we
were living in Savannah, we got a round griddle (about 9" diameter) that
gets a lot of use. I've got a lot of other cast iron, including a small
pot/cover we found at ReStore--made in Mexico--that also gets a lot of
use.


 DD> I also found that they do enamelled cast iron. so if I need to replace
 DD> any of the uber-expensive LeCreuset stuff I bargain shopped on eBay I
 DD> can get it at Lodge for much more reasonable (and Made-In-America)
 DD> cost.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, do I replace the regular cast iron with enamel clad or
not? Tempting, but probably not. May pick up a piece or two but I've a
good variety of pots/pans already so it would have to be something I
don't have but could use.
