Ärende: C is for Cookie....
===========================
Hi Nancy,


 RH> Depends on the monster.  Cookie Monster, even tho he eats your
 RH> cookies, is actually a fairly friendly little guy.  I understand CTW
 RH> made him over into one who only has cookies as an occaisional treat
 RH> now, and emphasises healthier eating.  I guess that means a whole
 RH> generation or more of kids will grow up not really understanding why he
 RH> was called Cookie Monster.

 NB> Don't put it past the mothers and grandmothers (fathers and gfathers,

More likely dads and grand dads. (G)

 NB> too) to make sure they understand...  "Coooookiesssss!!!" [gobble,
 NB> gobble, stuffing in face, crumbs ALLL over the place...]  :)  Just
 NB> need a Veggie Monster, I guess, to balance it all out...  ;)

Well, there are some interesting looking characters in the Veggie Tales.
(G)  Ever seen those?


 NB>  NB>> Years ago, there was a seafood place in this area that had very
 NB> good  NB>> food, including lobsters, for reasonable prices.  We'd go
 NB> there every  NB>> so often... Got a good taste for lobster then... ;)
 NB> We don't get it  NB>> nearly so often any more, though...  For one
 NB> thing, we don't go to  NB>> seafood places that often anymore, mostly
 NB> various Asian places... ;)

 RH> And most seafood places that far inland serve most of it fried or use
 RH> the farm raised, frozen & imported.  You're better off going Asian and
 RH> saving the seafood for the coast.

 NB> Here in Rochester there actually are some fairly good sources of fresh
 NB> fish still, often flown in...  So there are places that restaurants
 NB> can get the good stuff, should they so desire...  Probably not
 NB> inexpensively though...

Definately not cheap, especially with the cost of flying it in.  I'd
still rather get my seafood down on the coast; they usually get it right
off the boat.

 RH> Any good German places in your area?

 NB> By reputation, yes.  :)  We haven't actually gone to them, so can't
 NB> give first hand report of them, though.  But there were some
 NB> substantial
 NB> German immigrations into the area in years past, so there are still
 NB> pockets of that influence, along with other immigrant groups...  :)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, have to get together and try some out.

 NB> shrimp...
 NB>  NB>> Not too terribly expensive, either, especially when they supply
 NB> a  NB>> coupon for it as well, and/or put it on sale...

 RH> Sounds like a good deal there.  As long as they keep the standards high
 RH> and price reasonable, it sounds like they would be worth buying.

 NB> Yup.  :)

Shrimp scampi, boiled shrimp, shrimp a la king..........................
