 BS>> Now I'm off until Monday...except to go to the thrift store and look at
 BS>> Hawaiian shirts and shorts.  All mine shrunk while they were in storage. 
 NB>> Strange how they do that, eh...?  Did you have any success....?
 BS> 
 BS> All's swell.  I found a shirt, I already had 2, and a pair of shorts,
 BS> I already had 3, so I'm set when I add in a pair of socks,
 BS> undergarments, for traveling and a T-Shirt or two.

So you're all set for your trip... when do you leave...?
 
 NB>> It can take a little while to get there.... ;)  The soup sounds
 NB>> like a nice idea.... did you find your white potatoes, or can you
 NB>> substitute the fancier sorts....?
 BS> 
 BS> Found some at a store.  But!  I suspect that at least one of them had
 BS> been stored at to cold of a temperature.  I detected a hint of
 BS> sweetness, I covered mine with EXTRA SALT.  I've substituted the gold
 BS> spuds in the past...just peeved me that something as simple as a white
 BS> one didn't seem to be sold, and when I mentioned it to the people in
 BS> the produce department I could see them mentally shrug.

Even Wegmans, with all their pushings towards the fancier levels of
things, carries (and advertises) white potatoes... loose, and in 5lb
bags... probably in 10lb bags, too...  :)

 BS> Not as bad as when I wanted plain old yellow onions the guy told me
 BS> to just buy the Vidalia onions since they're yellow too. 

That IS bad... and blatently ignorant...  ;0

 BS> This popped out of my random .signature file the other night:
 BS> The only easy way to tell a hamster from a gerbil is that the gerbil
 BS> has more dark meat.

Hmmmm...   And have you ever tried proving that....??  ;)

ttyl        neb

... I got a job at a bakery because I kneaded dough.
