PErhaps the one in Hagerstown has also taken the gas pipe. My search was
Papa Murphy Maryland - and it brought up a map with the three locations
listed. We have two locations here - northwest side and southwest side.
Nothing on my side of twon - but I Have Gabatoni's near enough for dine-in
and Antonio's and Casey's for take away or delivery ..... And, as I
mentioned earlier, I am not likely to be baking my own.

Probably a function of me seldom shopping the canned veg aisle. I get most
of my non-fresh veg from the freezer cases.

I don'r necessarily use Liptons as I have several "store" brands
available which show the exact same USDA establishment number as the
Liptons --- at 50% to 60% the price.   Bv)=

 DS> MMMMM

Pretty close to mine except I'd not use kidney beans (it's a texture thing)
.... do you boil the pulses before adding to the crockpot? I find that the
15 or so minutes on the stove can cut the crockpot time by half.
