==================
 NB> Most Wegmans stores do have at least a small "natural foods" section

 NB> But I have seen that some chains don't seem to bother with such

I was really surprised about the lack of these things in the
Stop & Shop, which is in a yuppifying neighborhood.

Okay, speaking of which, how does right before or after the
picnic sound? Either that or Septemeber 18 to 24.

 ML> The wetness of the spinach would change the texture of the bacon.
 ML> Otherwise a good idea.
 NB> Nuking tends to make things softer anyway... hard to get crisp in
 NB> there. 

Once all the water evaporates out, crisping is possible,
even burning. Microwaved bacon is not horrible.

Part of the point of oral medicine is that a therapeutic
dose passes into the bloodstream intact (or anyway in an
effective form).

 SH>> Title: Truffes Au Chocolat (Chocolate Truffles)
 ML>> That's pretty much it. I don't think the cream is necessary;
 ML>> my sister used a little brandy or liqueur instead, as I recall
 NB>> That would give a different taste aspect... :)   So one does need a
 NB>> little liquid beyond the chocolate and butter...?
 ML> Not really.
 NB> But a little liquid for additional taste doesn't hurt either, then.

Chocolate and liquid have a vexed relationship, that's
important to remember.

 NB> ... I guess it takes more than birthdays to get maturity!

Heck, why even bother trying?

 -=> Nancy Backus said to Jim Weller <=-

I've been in some jurisdictions that actually have prohibited
the distribution of single-use bags and others that levy a
5 or 10c tax on them.

 JW> "green" line of cleaning products, 
 NB> We have that... and now one finds them on the same aisle as the
 NB> "regular" lines of cleaning products...

I've discovered that the non-phosphated ones tend not to work
as well, so you have to use way too much, which yields a nice
dilemma.

 JW> a "blue" line of reduced fat,
 JW> reduced salt, MSG free processed foods that all carry the Health
 JW> Canada Heart and Stroke Checkmark, 
 NB> Comparable to Wegmans Food You Feel Good About (FYFGA) lines...
 
Which had its rocky road as well, as some of the things were
found to be not so feel-goodish as the claim; I believe that
the company faced these challenges, though, and reformulated
the products in question.

 JW> It is ranked the #1 ranked publicly traded company on the 2010
 JW> Corporate Knights Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada list and the
 JW> Globe and Mail's Corporate Social Responsibility Rankings for

 NB> Dunno if we have such a thing here... but if we did, I wouldn't be
 NB> surprised to find that Wegmans ranked well, for all that it isn't the
 NB> largest USA food chain...

There are such rating systems, but they come and go like the
spring breezes, speaking of which we are supposed to get record
high temperatures today, and there are so many conflicting ideas
here about what's good citizenship and social responsibility
that any such rating system is bound to be flawed.
