There is a law in my state that prohibits different pricing for credit
or for ca$h. So they do a "wotk around" in most places by offering a
"discount for cash" usually <5% which cover the processing fees for the
plastic. The smart places build the cost of processing into their price
structure. Then if they get ca$h it's a bonus toward the annual Holiday
Party.  Bv)=

 Categories: Five, Vegetables, Cheese, Herbs, Salads
      Yield: 3 Servings
 
      1 lg (or 2) heirloom tomatoes *
           Fresh basil
      1    Ear steamed sweet corn
           Bonnieview Farm Coomersdale;
           - semi-hard sheep cheese
           Olive oil
           White wine vinegar
           Salt & pepper
 
  Slice tomatoes about a half inch in thickness and arrange
  on a platter. Cut the corn from the cob and sprinkle on
  top of the tomatoes. Chop the basil and layer on the
  tomatoes and corn. Grate or shave the cheese on top and
  drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Season with salt and
  pepper and enjoy.
  
  It's best served with all ingredients at room temperature.
  
  * Mortgage Lifter Tomato was perfect, but I've had this
  salad made with three or four different heirlooms on one
  plate.
