 CS> A Kroger store is next to the Home Depot now.  I went in after

  We do not have Kroger stores in our area, but have been where they
  were in the past.   I recall liking them.

 CS> Get this, the store clerk drew me a map on how to find where the Asian
 CS> Grocery moved to!  He also called the manager and they wrote down the

   That was nice -- all too often they do not realize that being helpful
   gives you a good impression about the store overall that helps more
   than losing the sale on one small item.

 CS> On to the fish section, we found the first place here with good
 CS> looking fish at a decent price.  We were *not* amused at the commisary
 CS> fish. Harris Teeter is not looking very good either and Food Lion didnt
 CS> have many choices nr did they look all that good.  BJs (a local SAMS
 CS> like place) had some that was so old, it scared us.

  Our BJs does not store fish well either.  It sits in an open counter
  in the middle of the aisle.   That sort of counter may be adequate for
  cheese, but not for fish.  Gail will not buy seafood from them.  We
  have been stung twice.  Once on huge shrimp that was so bad when we
  opened it that we drove back to complain and get a refund.  The second
  time was on farm salmon that had an off taste.   She says "never
  again".

 CS> Shrimp were quite reasonable with prices ranging on size.  The
 CS> customers here do not like them with the heads, so I asked the
 CS> 'fishmonger' (who is also the butcher) if i can get the heads for a
 CS> soup pot and he laughed and said yes.  That normally he has to throw
 CS> them out due to not enough people asking for them.  He didnt have any
 CS> just then but he gave me the number to back there and i can call ahead
 CS> and have him put some aside.  50cents a lb.  (he'd be happy to give
 CS> them free but it's not his option).

   A lot, if not all, of the shrimp for sale here is frozen -- or thawed
   from frozen.   The heads are long gone.

   Have you got your crock pots yet?   This might be good, but why throw
   away the flavor packet:-}}

      Title: Crock-Pot Fifteen-Bean Soup
 Categories: Soup, Vegetable, Meat, Crockpot
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 pk (20 oz) 15-bean soup mix
           -(throw away the flavor
           -packet!)
      1 lg Onion, chopped
      1 ts Garlic
      1 ts Celery salt
      2    Stalks chopped celery
      1    Bay leaf
      1 ds Cayenne pepper
           Ground pepper to taste
      1 pk Polska kielbasa, sliced
           -into coins
 
  Soak beans overnight, changing water frequently.  Drain.  In crock-
  pot, cover beans with 1 inch water.  Add all other ingredients except
  kielbasa. Cover and cook on high for one hour; turn to low and cook
  overnight. Stir once or twice during cooking.  One hour before
  serving, check the texture of the soup.  If it's too thin, mash some
  of the beans with a potato masher.  Add sliced kielbasa.  Cook for
  one hour.  Serve with Tabasco sauce and bread or rice.
  
  You can substitute turkey kielbasa, if you prefer, for the regular.
  
  Serves 4 generously.
  
  NOTE:  This soup freezes well.  Leftovers are excellent (usually
  thicker from reheating), and are delicious served over rice.
