Hi Michael,

 RH> Probably because you lived in TX; Sean says it's better there.
 ML> Could well be. At the time I attributed my change to a
 ML> maturation of taste buds, not a different formulation.
 RH> And now.....?

 ML> Now I tend to attribute to a different formulation, having been
 ML> made aware of how frequent different formulations occur.

Some drink makers like to experiment and it turns out OK. OTOH, remember
the New Coke?  That was a a royal disaster! BTW, found out we can get
Mexican Coke in bottles at the local Wal-Mart.

 ML> to meet friends for an Austin bbq crawl in I think April.
 RH> Really planning ahead, aren't you? The bbq sounds good but I'd
 RH> probably order a diet Coke to go with it, or iced tea (and add
 RH> sweetener).

 ML> This is planned by the customer service director at the
 ML> Starwood call center, a very large and generous gentleman
 ML> who puts on a good party (as well as getting Sheratons and
 ML> Westins to do our bidding in almost miraculous fashion).
 ML> It's a third annual, and though I don't get good miles out
 ML> of it, I get hotel points and to visit up with Lilli in a
 ML> public setting.

Sounds like it will be fun. In April I will be winding up my school
work, not only for the year, but for the diploma (which I will receive
in May, if all goes according to plan). Still, the thought of taking a
few days to eat bbq and visit friends sounds like fun.

 RH> I've not tried any Dr. P. since then and will avoid it at all costs.
 RH> I'll even drink pepsi if I have to, but please, no more dr.p.

 ML> I ate half a half gallon of Pepsi recently, sharing with the
 ML> Shipps. It's a bit too sweet, though I got used to it, as it
 ML> cut the saltiness of my chicken pretty well.

I'll drink it if there's no other decent choice available.

 ML> How about Mr. Pibb, which as I recall was the Coca-Cola
 ML> corporation's answer to Dr. Pepper? I had one in 2008 and
 ML> it seemed less Pepperlike and more Cokelike.
 RH> It's too close to dr. p for me.

 ML> Mm. Really don't care for the Doctor, do we.

Not at all! That one experience was enough to turn me off forever.

BTW, the Hawaiian bread was made before we left here in late July. I'd
frozen it, then Gail had it in her freezer until the picnic time. That
could account for some of the dryness. Being whole wheat, it's naturally
a different taste/texture than a white version of the same. We milled
the wheat--some Montanna stuff we got thru a grains co-op we belong to.
