Hi Carol,

RH> actually, I'm surprised they haven't.  Right now the alternative kid's
RH> menu (chicken fingers and apple dippers) and the $1. value menu items
RH> are getting the biggest push from McDs.

 CS> It takes time to make these up though.  Nort much time, but it does a
 CS> bit. Fries are cheaper but the kids want the good stuff.

Probably because it is so sifferent from the norm of fries.

 CS> pepper is just 'pepper stuffed with noodle' so part of the fun is
 CS> finding out what it;s really gonna look like.  It's a deliberate humor

RH> And it helps kids develop their adult humor as they realise the double
RH> meaning of some of the names.  It stretches their creativity to come u
RH> with their own names that border on gross but don't actually cross the

 CS> Yes.  Works for us all, adults and kids.

Word play is good for sharpening up the brain.  I kill a lot of wait
time doing cross word puzzles (in ink); they can be stuffed into a bag
quicker when the doctor calls you than needlework.  I do that too, but
only if I knw I'm going to be waiting long enough to make it worthwhile.


 CS> Sara found a really cute one.  'Egg Salad' was the name.  It was a
 CS> thick egg salad with green food coloring, shaped to look like a

RH> As a friend would say, "too cute!".  I pesume you're tying to discover
RH> the whole realm of their creations, a bit (or is it bite?) at a time?

 CS> There is a version of that one the kids call 'smished caterpillar
 CS> samwich' (its set on a slice of bread, with another to the side and
 CS> you top it with that then smish it and eat).

That kind of "violence" is much more tolerable than some things they
could smish.


 CS> I'll never discover all the variations here.  I just enjoy the fad
 CS> while it lasts and check out the ones we hear about! No new ones today
 CS> but I have my ears out for them.


Keep us posted.  Between getting ready for the packers to come and a
wive's welcome party tonight for the new battalion commander's wife, I'm
running late on my reading.  I sort of don't think I'll get a chance to
get on at all Thursday and Friday, don't know about tomorrow or Saturday
yet.

RH> falsetto "worm voice" and come up with "Oooh, she bit off my head!" an
RH> "Now she's going for my tail, OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!" as she ate hers--as

 CS> Grin, I always laugh when you tell that one!  It's so much like

RH> It's just so typical of that girl!  She's always been good with younge
RH> kids, even when she was a preschooler. I suspect she would have a floc
RH> around her every time she went out over there.

 CS> Oh for sure!  She'd be 'flock leader' of one of the sets!

Chronlogically she's 26 years old but acts like a kid if she's around
them.  But, she's a veteran of OIF and has worked (week end volunteer)
at a juvenile facility for troubled teens where they've really respected
her.  She may look like a push over, but don't try to push her over.

 CS> somethng Charlotte would do!  Then again, she's apt to demo that on
 CS> our version of a 'fish stick'.

RH> Which the uninitiated would gross out on if they were kids; adults wou
RH> not come out and say they were but be thinking along the same lines.

 CS> Snicker.

We've GOT to get together some time! (G)
