Hi Nancy,

We don't know; since it's an international tournament, there could be
folks looking for all sorts of places to eat. Speaking of which, we went
to Giuseppe's in Spencerport (Gates) today with Steve's folks. I know
you have the reflux problem but this was really (!!) good Italian food,
and generous servings. Steve had the ravioli (2 big ones), with Italian
sausage; I had chicken parmisan with ziti and brought half of it home.
We brought home cannolis for dessert. Every bit as good as the Italian I
make or we can get in WF.

 RH> Sounds interesting. We popped into the Brockport store on our way in
 RH> the other day, will stop over again some time this week for a few

Sounds like it would be a good one to check out. I understand one of the
Harris Teeter stores has a cafe in their North Raleigh store; a friend
wants me to go with her for prime rib some night. Haven't gotten there
yet.

 NB> bread and bagels  NB>> and muffins, but we go through them pretty
 NB> slowly... Fresh made might  NB>> go stale faster on us... :)

 RH> Basically show our face at the market, tell some of our favorite

 NB> Convenient for you, and didn't want them worrying when you didn't show

Yes, and I suspect some of them would wonder.

 NB>  NB>> companies...

 RH> I'd not looked at pasta boxes to see where they were made. My family
 RH> didn't eat as much of it as Steve's did, and Mom always got the A&P or
 RH> Victory store brand, or Muellers. Never anything else, always cheap,
 RH> white mushy stuff.

 NB> And, I guess, that was all that the kid was finding when he went

Until Mom came to his rescue................(G)

 NB> ;)
 NB>  RH>> And students live off of pasta. (G)
 NB>  NB>> Quick, easy and filling...  :)   And cheap...  :)

 RH> Yes, we ate a lot of it, especially when the girls were home. We've

 NB> I did more grains back when we needed quick, easy, filling and cheap

We didn't get into millet but lots of kasha, brown rice, couscous (whole
wheat) and others.
