Kroger has that sort of deal with Shell - get the card, buy grub from Kroger
and get 5c/gallon off your gas at Shell. The local Meijer superstore
(Wally-world w/wider aisles, better food, friendlier staff, etc) has its own
gazolina station out front - sort of like your Lowe's. I have a card from
Moto-Mart which gives me 6c/gal off the posted price of fuel ... it's a direct
debit from one of my bank accounts. Guess where I buy most of my gas? And, on
Sundays they have a deal that if you buy 10 gallons of gas you get a free car
wash. Guess which day I try to buy my gas?

 RH> (G)

When I've had egg salad in that style - it is made with banana, Hungarian Hot
Wax, Cherry and other mild chilies, pickled in vinegar and diced up. Curry's
egg salad has a little bit of zip in what is usually a bland/sweetish mixture.

      Title: Grilled Sweet-Potato Salad
 Categories: Salads, Potatoes, Herbs, Citrus
      Yield: 6 servings

  2 1/2 lb Sweet potatoes
    1/4 c  Olive oil
      1 ts Salt
      1 ts Ground cumin
      1    Scallion; sliced thin
      2 ts Fresh lime juice 
           Lime wedges
    1/4 c  Fresh coriander leaves
 
  Boil (simmer) potatoes 15-30 minutes in salted water, and
  rinse under cold water to cool. With a sharp knife peel
  potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
 
  While potatoes are boiling, prepare grill. In a small bowl
  whisk together oil, salt, and cumin and brush some onto both
  sides of potato slices, reserving remaining cumin oil. Grill
  slices on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals
  until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side, and
  transfer with tongs to a platter.

  Thinly slice scallion diagonally and sprinkle over potatoes.
  Whisk lime juice into remaining cumin oil with salt and
  pepper to taste and drizzle over potatoes.

  Serve potato salad with lime wedges and sprinkled with
  coriander.

  Serves 6.
 
  Suggested additions: toasted pecans, cooked sausage, or, to
  dressing, chopped chipotle chili in adobo sauce.
