Hi Michael,

 RH> Emergency rations.  I was going to make sure some chocolate was going
 RH> to be with our hurricane evacuation rations but didn't need to,

 ML> Glad of that. Now I'm wondering about former echo people on
 ML> the Texas Gulf coast. No current ones that I can think of.
 ML> The 'canes are coming fast and furious these days.

As far as I know, Kathy Pitts and Henry Kastan (?) were the only ones in
TX. Teri passed away but does her family still live there? IIRC, they
were around San Antonio which is probably quite wet about now.

 RH> On top of it all, you like the taste of beer over drugs. (G)

 ML> Indeed, though it is a drug of sorts. I did acquire my fondness
 ML> for it because of its taste rather than for the intoxication factor.

And it's the taste that is a big deterrant for us.  As far as
intoxication goes................I can think of much better things to
spend my time and money on just to get a buzz followed by a hang over.
(G)

 ML> The other solution, of course, is chocolate.
 RH> That is a "given" with me; if I don't have any on hand, then I'm
 RH> either really sick or we're out of money to buy any. (G)

 ML> When I'm poor, Hershey's Special Dark is a lifesaver, which
 ML> Lifesavers aren't. I was very pleased to find Lindt 70 for less
 ML> than the price of HSD. They were also advertising various

Sometimes you can catch the specials if you're in the right place at the
right time. Dove dark is the one we keep on hand as much as possible,
supplimented by others from time to time.


 ML> Ghirardellis for the same amount, but I didn't find the dark.

Probably already sold out.  We were in one of the local quilt stores a
couple of hours ago; at the register there was a box of World's Finest
Chocolate  (in whose opinion?) bars for a school fund raiser.  All milk
chocolate--either with almonds or "crispies".  Steve bought one of each
and has eaten the almond bar.  There's a BOGO for Chick-Fil-A on the
wrapper.

 RH> There are some like that.  The one chain here in the southeast cooks
 RH> their pork and beef (not sure, but I think the chicken  as well)
 RH> without any sauce but has several sauces on the table.

 ML> I have been to Maurice's Piggy Park, does that count as a chain?
 ML> There, as I recall, the Q came with mustard sauce.

We saw signs for them in SC which would explain the mustard sauce. I
think I saw signs in several locations so I guess it's a small chain.
The one I was thinking of, tho, is Sonny's.

 ML> I asked for a side order
 ML> of fat, which eventually came out and almost redeemed the meat.
 RH> Now that must have been a sight! How was it rung up on your bill?

 ML> It didn't appear on the bill. If it had, and it wasn't n/c, I'd
 ML> have kicked up a major stink. I think the waitress knew that.

Smart thinking on her part.  Probably increased her tip too. (G)

 ML> Shrimp sandwiches with chili mayonnaise
 ML> cat: lunch
 ML> servings: 4

 ML> Whisk together first 4 ingredients. Spread half the toast
 ML> slices with chili mayo; layer shrimp, arugula, and then
 ML> avocado. Top with remaining toast; press lightly. Slice
 ML> on diagonal.

Looks good on this end.

 ML> Honolulu Advertiser 9/10/08

That paper has a much better food section than the Savannah Morning
News.
