Hi Michael,

 ML> bring along some DEET or picaridin insect repellant? That's
 ML> something else that I think the TSA might get a bit shirty
 ML> about.
 RH> Steve may have some; certain bugs seem to be quite attracted to him.

 ML> So you guys understand. I am told that there will be
 ML> some available; otherwise, I am also told, there are
 ML> stores in the vicinity.

We should be well supplied. Most of the time they don't bother me but
every so often, I'll get nailed.


 ML> That makes perfect sense to me. Not completely sure about
 ML> Thousand Islands, though.
 RH> If I really want some at home, I'll do a cheat of a bit of mayo, less
 RH> ketchup and a blob of pickle relish. But, that's not done very often,
 RH> more often the oil and vinegar.

 ML> Aside from ignoring a few optional ingredients, that's not
 ML> really a cheat.

Tastes close enough to the real thing to keep me happy. Most of the time
the pickle relish is my home made.


 ML> I've not compared scratch-made vs. factory-made Worcestershire
 ML> and wonder if there might be an esthetic advantage. Of course,
 ML> "scratch" in this case really isn't scratch.
 RH> Sometimes it's just as easy to buy a bottle than to try to make
 RH> everything. Even in our days of making (almost) everything from
 RH> scratch, there were some things that I bought, worcestershire sauce
 RH> being one of them.

 ML> Easy is most often not the main issue. Cost, ability, time
 ML> tend to be more important. Also the pleasure of do-it-yourself.

At the time we we living on next to nothing and had 2 little girls. I
did a lot of "make your own" kind of stuff, canning, freezing, etc but
had to draw the line somewhere. It wasn't worth my time or (lack of)
money to buy the ingredients to make my own mustard, ketchup or
worchestershire sauce. Did do mayo at times but also bought Duke's.
