 JK> hahaha.. we have done that in the past.  I bet the worst was when Ron

 JK> food (laugh). I  don't know what got into us that week!

Comfort food from the past...?  I know... that was my first introduction
to chinese (sorta)... that's what I had growing up as a kid...  :)

 JK> That sounds like a very nice way to get sushi :)
 
Maybe.  I'm sure it really can't come close to any good comparison with
what Fu makes...  :)

 > If that weren't the only Wegmans in the Ithaca area, I'd be wondering

 JK> They were busy as all get out last night :)  Ron and I founnd shopping

Well, that should help keep them open anyway... ;)

 JK> there  last night quite the pia, as everyone seems to be ignorant of
 JK> others walking by  (you know, people who don't look where they're
 JK> going), and those  "hard-chargers" racing down aisles..

That's never fun... 

 JK> I did find a great sale on a large-sized sirloin steak 2-pack, and a
 JK> pork-rib  two pack.. so that was coo.  After getting the items on our
 JK> list, the two of us  said, "let's get out of here!" We figured we could
 JK> get anything I'd forgotten  to put on the list at the more local P&W
 JK> store.. like sauerkraut and rye bread  for the reubens I'll make with
 JK> the corned beef we fought through the crowds to  get :) :)

Well, at least you got some good goodies from your foray...  :)  The
small stuff is easier to get just about anywhere..  :)
 
 >> Yes indeed :) I was looking for sushi quality fresh fish online and of
 >> course  there are sites that provide that service.. I may try them one
 >> of these days...  when the budget recovers (grin).

 JK> Yes, that would be a concern of course.  One could freeze part of the
 JK> order as  well.  I'm not yet sold on the idea of ordering it though..

I've noticed that the local sushi restaurants often are using
fresh-frozen fish to keep some of it good longer... they end up having
to thaw to have their fresh...  :)

 JK> we'll see. It was  SO nice living in SE NY's Orange County.. When we
 JK> were living 45 minutes from  NYC back then the local fish stores always
 JK> had an abundance of excellent fresh  fish.  Seems like another
 JK> life-time, now (g).  I guess it was :) 

yeah...  life just keeps trudging along, and before you know it, things
you thought were yesterday are another lifetime ago...  ;)

ttyl         neb

... Fruit tags would be grapely apricoted.
