    DD> C'mon over to the cooking echo - maybe we'll inspire you to expand your   
    DD> menu. (See recipe below)   
      
     I went to Kroger today, but because of prices and funding, I was limited   
   on my choices. I got 3 bags of Tyson chicken nuggets, 2 dozen of the 3   
   minute pizzas, 2 dozen packets of Buddig Lunch Meat, and 2 dozen slices   
   of Kroger cheese (it was $1.50 cheaper than Kraft)...still $75. With the   
   survey and fuel point bonus I got, the next time I fill up, I can get 20   
   cents a gallon off. That's little consolation the way the gas prices are   
   now...they jumped 70 cents a gallon in the last week...much of that in   
   just 1 day. I put $46 in my 2013 Chevy Cruze at $4.20 a gallon...the most   
   I've ever paid for gasoline. I thought of the meme that noted "I got gas   
   for 99 cents the other day...but, it was at Taco Bell".    
      
    DD> Eating out is a social occasion. I am an excellent cook - but unless I   
    DD> am cooking to share with someone I prefer to hit the restaurants. Even   
    DD> if my "social" interaction is limited to the wait staff and the   
    DD> cashier.   
      
     There is a franchise in central Arkansas called "David's Burgers". Their   
   main selections are burgers, grilled chicken, and grilled cheese sandwiches.   
   If you order a combo, and "dine in", you get unlimited french fries. I can't   
   eat there every day, but try to at least once a week. That's likely where I   
   will go on my birthday later this month. Even though Golden Corral sent me   
   a coupon for a free birthday buffet, it required the purchase of another   
   buffet to get the free one. Since I have no one to go with me, I see no   
   reason to worry about that at all. Plus, the "happy birthday" deals are   
   so hokey and embarrassing.   
        
    DD> And, *no* clean-up.   Bv)=   
      
     That's the best part. :)   
      
    DD> 99 of 100 Legionnaires who have tried Camels prefer women.  Bv)=   
      
     Sounds like a composer who, in the same day, had his first kiss of a   
   woman...and his first cigarette. He said "ever since that day, I've had   
   no desire for tobacco".    
      
    DD> That's the difference between (mis) management and labour.   
      
     Exactly. Never mind "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is   
   going". Hmmm...sounds like Washington, DC. :P   
      
    DD> I'm fortunate in being what my croaker terms "well controlled". I only   
    DD> poke my "signalling" finger once a week - and then only for my peace of   
    DD> mind. Still have to take that blasted pill every morning, though.   
      
     The way the insurance is, I have to wait until July to get a full   
   physical and full blood work again.   
      
    DD> Kind of like his "feud" with Fred Allen. In life they were great   
    DD> friends.   
      
     It seemed that way with Edgar Bergen and W.C. Fields...he and   
   Charlie McCarthy always got into it.   
      
    DD> Many letters are near homophones. In my job I often used phonetics to   
    DD> give part numbers over the Alexander. B - C - D - E - G - P - T and V   
    DD> all sound similar over a telephone headset. Phonetics takes the worry   
    DD> out of transcription.   
      
     Exactly.   
      
    DD> Women never leave the seat up - and sometimes if I am operating under   
    DD> extreme hydraulic pressure it's going to get wet. Too bad, so sad.   
      
     Well, in living alone, I don't have to worry. But, I grew up with a   
   brother...I didn't know women had to "sit for everything", and it took   
   them forever and a day to get ready.   
      
    DD>       Title: Sour Cream Apple Pie   
      
     I've shied away from cookies and desserts lately.
