Hi Dave,
On <Mon, 24 Nov 24>, you wrote me:

That's an idea.  The whole black friday thing is still new to me, so
I'm not used to it yet.  It's the only aspect of the US thanksgiving
Canaduh has adopted.

It's pretty much the same, I saw that as well.  In fact I lied to you,
it's the Morton's I have here now.  I had to go look when I read this.

I honestly don't care about my BP.  It's under control with the meds so
I'm not going to worry about it.  I've abused my body beyond what is
normal so when it kicks me in the ass I accept it. :)

Well I'm gonna have to buy some now.

I did know that from the various copycat recipes out there.  I've got the
fried chicken recipe that my family likes down pat, and there's no pepper
in it.  (I wish there was - but it's too spicy ;( )
