Dave,

 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.
