 ML> In some ways, I long for them. The old Friendly's double
 ML> chocolate ice cream was a wonderful product, though one that
 ML> I couldn't indulge in too often.

My favorite was their Cherry Orchard... different sorts of cherries in
a cherry ice cream.  Long been a thing of the past, along with Richard's
favorite, Fudge Swirl, which was real fudge swirled in vanilla ice
cream...

 ML>> As West Virginia (I found out) doesn't allow them, no West
 ML>> Virginia for me. It's a pretty godforsaken place anyhow.
 NB>> Indeed.  ;0
 ML> In order to maintain my privileges on US Air (soon to be
 ML> diluted by American Airlines) I need to schedule a whopping
 ML> 32 more flights this year, so I was casting about for cheap
 ML> trips to random locations, because I need to be on a plane
 ML> at every opportunity to get my quota. Over July 4 weekend
 ML> the only decent fares (under $50 a flight) were to
 ML> Clarksburg with a stop in Morgantown. I decided to pass.

Some things aren't worth it even when free, eh...?
 
 ML>> are much more cost-efficient, but for a taste of cheese doodles
 ML>> or crackers or whatever I use a quarter or a half a pill, the
 ML>> result being that I occasionally find a partly eaten pill in a
 ML>> pocket, or worse, some white residue after laundry time.
 NB>> Oh what fun... ;)   Guess you need a designated container to keep the
 NB>> partial pills in...  ;)
 ML> I used to have one, but I lost it. In fact, the CVS brand used
 ML> to supply little rectangular pill boxes for free with their
 ML> giant economy size packages, only I tossed them all (they
 ML> seemed worthless) years ago, and I no longer buy that brand.
 
I forget just what the dimensions of your pills are... I have a little
box that used to hold soft-picks, it might be the right size... 

 ML>> Doesn't sound bad, and one really doesn't expect beefy flavor
 ML>> in a cracker. Even the Chicken in a Biscuit, which had chicken
 ML>> powder, didn't taste meaty, except for the umami from the MSG,
 ML>> of which it contained plenty.
 NB>> The chicken powder in the ingredients was there to spark the
 NB>> imagination, I suppose...  ;)
 ML> I don't know why they put it in, as to my knowledge the package
 ML> doesn't trumpet CONTAINS REAL CHICKEN or anything like that.

Except, perhaps, by implication...

 ML> The ingredients:
 ML> Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron,
 ML> Thiamine Mononitrate {Vitamin B1}, Riboflavin
 ML> {Vitamin B2}, Folic Acid), Soybean and/or Palm Oil,
 ML> Sugar, Salt, Dextrose, Monoglycerides, Monosodium
 ML> Glutamate (Flavor Enhancer), Onion Powder, Baking
 ML> Soda, Soy Lecithin (Emulsifier), Natural Flavor,
 ML> Dehydrated Cooked Chicken, Cornstarch.

Hmmm... that IS rather far down the list...  but, being dehydrated,
perhaps it would count for a bit more with hydration...?

 ML> Super Easy Chicken in a Biscuit Recipe
 ML> cat: snack, sandwich, slightly dubious
 ML> servings: 8
 ML> 1/4 lb cream cheese
 ML> 2 Tb butter
 ML> 2 c chicken, diced
 ML> 1/4 ts salt
 ML> 1/8 ts pepper
 ML> garlic powder to taste
 ML> 2 Tb milk
 ML> 1 Tb finely diced onion
 ML> 1 pk refrigerated crescent rolls
 ML> 1 Tb melted butter
 ML> 1/4 c Italian style bread crumbs
 ML> 1/4 c parmesan cheese (optional)

 ML> Mix first 8 ingredients and spoon into crescent rolls
 ML> (approximately one heaping tablespoon per roll) and
 ML> press edges together to seal closed.
 ML> Place completed rolls on lightly oiled cookie sheet at
 ML> least 2" apart. Brush rolls with melted butter and
 ML> sprinkle with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
 ML> Bake at 350F for 20-25 min or until lightly browned.
 ML> Let cool 5 min before serving.

Basically a filled biscuit...  ;)   I see some resemblance to filled
pasta, filled wontons, and such... ;)   I trust, however, that that
isn't intended as a main dish... :)
