Hi Dave,

 RH> Whatever works. I have Italian seasoning on hand but for making sauce,
 RH> I prefer the individual herbs/spices. Made up a jar of the various ones
 RH> for the camper so I don't have to carry as many jars. It's basically
 RH> equal amounts of parsley, basil and oregano, then I also add (from
 RH> separate jars) garlic granules, salt and pepper.

 DD> I've been known to "enhance" the McCormick pre-mixed with some rigani
 DD> which I met for the 1st time on Dale Shipp's deck during the l;ast
 DD> picnic there.

I forget; is the rigani oregano or basil?

 DD> Chris is a pretty good cook. Which I can't blame on his dad = who can
 DD> barely make his own breakfast without much weeping, wailing and
 DD> gnasing of teeth.

 RH> Steve is a pretty good cook too. Right now he's making up some
 RH> sauerbraten; I was going to do it yesterday but ot hit by a bug in the
 RH> wee small hours. The worst of it is past but I just don't feel like
 RH> cooking. The sauerbraten will be cooked, but then put in the fridge
 RH> until I feel better. (Steve had the bug earlier this week, has gotten
 RH> over it faster.)

 DD> I was a better cook than my wife. I think the Food Network show "How
 DD> to Boil Water" was written with her in mind.

We are both pretty good cooks. Steve's mom made sure he knew the basics
before leaving home. Time, travel, exposure to the echo here, and some
Food network have made us both better as well as expanding our culinary
horizons.

 DD> You'll know better next time. If you have a Hardee's/Carl's Junior
 DD> near you I can recommend their hand-breaded chicken sandwich. Or, of
 DD> course, the King of Chicken sandwiches - Popeyes.

 RH> Closest Hardee's is probably down in Raleigh now. Had one in town but
 RH> it closed without warning several years ago. Building has stood there,
 RH> still signage on it. Good location but so far, nobody has done anything
 RH> with it yet.

 DD> Who knows why stuff like that happens. When Carl's Jr bought Hardee's
 DD> they changed the signage on all of the Herdee's around here ... but
 DD> soon changed it back - even though the menus are the same.

 DD> I was idling away some time yesterday and reading one of the
 DD> ubiquitous "Best of" list6s ... this one for fast-food burgers.
 DD> Hardee's finished ahead of sister chain Carl's Jr. but the winner was
 DD> Wendy's. I like Dave's Single. But I druther have a Baconator.  Bv)=

I'd rather go for a chicken something or other than a burger most of the
time.
