Hi Dave,

 DD> impressed enough to return for a third go. I like Kentucky Fried
 DD> Colonel's cole slaw pretty well.

 RH> I like the KFC cole slaw as well but I also appreciate the business
 RH> policies of C-F-A. We've both in the area, as well as Bojangles and
 RH> PDQ, so no lack of places to get chicken. To get Popeye's, the nearest
 RH> one is in Raleigh, in an area we don't go to very often.

 DD> Popeyes (no apostrophe) sells excellent chicken at a good price. The
 DD> Indian owners of the local franchise hire local workers, pay a decent
 DD> wage, offer scholarships to their workers, pay their taxes and
 DD> contribute to the community. IOW, my favourite business model.

Sounds like the owners know what to do, and do it well. Steve stopped at
the local Hardee's tonight to pick up some supper--asked about a
military discount but no go there. He forgot to ask about a senior
discount but what we ordered wasn't that much so no great loss there.


 DD>   +++ CUT +++

 RH> It probably wouldn't make the bean counters happy but it would make
 RH> those of us that prefer whole grains over white flour happy.

 DD> You do realise that y'all are a minority, do you not?   Bv)=

 RH> Yes, but we can be a pretty vocal minority, should the need to be so
 RH> arise.

 DD> So are the Islamic Jihadists   Bv)=


They might prefer a whole wheat biscuit over a white one, actually.


 DD>   +++ MORE TRIMS +++

 DD> Wilkesboro, NC. The nearest Menard's to you is, I think Raliegh ---
 DD> ooops. Went to get the address and that "Menard's" turns out to be Bob
 DD> Menard's Gourmet Popcorn Shop.   Bv)= Menards is, I think, a North

 RH> OOPS! We've never checked out the popcorn shop. There used to be
 RH> another one, closer to us, but it folded a while ago. I had some of

 DD> I got nothing against white flour.  Bv)= If I need to up my whole
 DD> grain/bran intake I'll have a bowl of Grape Nuts (if it's still being
 DD> made).

 RH> It is still being made; I've bought it from time to time. I've also got
 RH> a recipe in my "More With Less" cookbook for home made "grape nuts".
 RH> BTW, the Pillsbury rye bread is the one I remember; it is close to (but
 RH> not quite) a pumpernickel. Now I'll try some of the others, to find a
 RH> lighter, "Jewish" rye. The rye I made yesterday had a nice texture,
 RH> good taste, again, thanks for hunting it down.

 DD> That's good. Glad to h'ep

 DD> Is this the same Grape-Nutz recipe? I got mine from Taste of Home

 DD> MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

 DD>       Title: Grape Nuts Cereal
 DD>  Categories: Grains, Dairy
 DD>       Yield: 5 quarts

 DD>       7 c  Whole wheat flour
 DD>       3 c  (packed) brown sugar
 DD>   2 1/4 ts Baking soda
 DD>       1 ts Salt
 DD>   2 1/2 c  Buttermilk
 DD>       6 tb Butter; melted
 DD>       2 ts Vanilla extract
 DD>     1/2 ts Maple flavouring; opt *

Looks similar but I don't have the cook book in front of me. I'll have
to get back to you on that.

 DD>   * NOT at my house - UDD

You don't like maple, or don't like maple extract? I'd probably cut some
of the sugar and sub in the Stevia for baking with a bit of molasses to
give it the brown sugar taste. Save me some carbs and calories.


 DD>   1 serving (3/4 cup) equals 238 calories, 3 g fat (2 g

That's a good sized serving for Grape Nuts; I think the commercial one
suggests a 1/4 cup serving.
