Hi Dave,

Somehow the internal working of either my terminal program or the BBS software mangaled a pert of my post to you titled "Smoking"

Guess computer gremlins get busy in warm weather. I don't know why but I
had several days of no mail last week. It fetched but didn't go beyond
that; I just let it ride and it staightened out on Friday.

Here's the corrected (I hope) for clarity and accuracy version

RETRY BELOW

Casey's has their own discount. And thery are affiliated with
Hy-Vee's cash back program. Both companies are headquartered in the
same town
(Ankeny, IA)

I'm a member of Hy-Vee's Perks+ club and get cents per gallon
discount on some of their grocery items or, like the current offer (today) spend U$50 and get 25c per gallon discount at Hy-Vee's pumps
or any Caseys.

Sounds like a good deal. Harris Teeter is heavily promoting their
rewards program on tv--so many gas points for shopping and quadruple
points on Fridays. Good if you shop there regularly but if we go, we try
to go on Thursdays, their senior discount day. I guess you can get up to
a dollar off per gallon.

Since both my brother and I have MotoMart WAND cards that feature
50c/gallon off the price on the sign. I let my room-mate use my
Hy-Vee perks. Bv)=

I'm sure he appreciates it. Most often we get our gas locally at Sam's
Club or if in Raleigh, Costco. When we were in Hawaii over July 4 week
end, we rented a car, gassed it up at the Scofield Barracks gas station
Monday morning. Then we drove (almost) around the island, topped it off
at the Pearl Harbor gas station. Didn't even take a gallon the 2nd time.

let diners add more to their own taste.

Before MotoMart began their 50c off program I was an assiduous user of

them. Plus there was a "Spend U$75 and get a 75c per gallon perk. I got
over U$1 per gallon on that trip, which added to the previously earned

The other thing to take into account is where the fuel savings my be

Hi Sean,

We've had Wegman's here for 4 years now and we'll still
go to one in NY if we're up there and need something. (G)

When I was driving to Williamsport, PA for work, I'd stay at the
downtown Holiday Inn. There was a huge Wegman's right net to it. The Wegman's was always busy but I went there specifically for their deli
and its prepared meals. I enjoyed getting settled into my room after
a long drive, driving next dfoor to Wegmans and getting a meal. I'd
eat it in my hotel room a=nd get to bed as I had to be at woek by

7 AM the next morning.

That's bright and early! My mom used to say it was "getting up before breakfast" which didn't make sense then or now. (G) Did you ever take
time to fully explore a Wegman's store? The one near Dale and Gale Shipp
in MD was huge; I think much bigger than the one in Brockport (NY) where
we usually shop at when up that way and somewhat bigger than the one we
have locally. But, maybe it's because I shop those 2, especially the
latter, so I'm familiar with the layout. There's all sorts of goodies to
be found in the store. And yes, we've seen the Williamsport store, from
the highway, as we're headed north to see family or south from visiting
family.

It was a Mitsubishi Mirage.

I'm going to test drive one of those next week.

We found it to be quite loud inside, lots of road noise. But, we're used
to a Ford F-150 which sits higher up and less road noise. Steve said the
trunk space was quite roomy--we each had a roller bag, my concentrator
(with battery bag) and Steve's C-Pap machine. I think he was able to get
it all in the trunk.

Title: Shrimp and Rice Stir Fry
Categories: Dinner, Low fat, Main meal, Mom's recip
Yield: 4 Servings

Looks good; I just finished off my left overs from going out to one of
my favorite Mexican places the other day. I usually (and did this time)
get Tierra y Mar--it has shrimp, scallops, chicken, zuchinni and yellow
squash, tomato, mushrooms, onions and green pepper served on yellow rice
with cheese sauce. I used to be able to eat the whole thing for one meal
but now I split it over 2 or 3, with extra cheese sauce. The seafood is
cooked until just done so its almost melt in your mouth; reheating on a
lower microwave setting doesn't toughen it.

1 lb Shrimp; Cooked

Make sure the shrimp are peeled and deveined before adding. This may be
done before or after cooking them.

Decades of being a sysop have taught me the signs of a fading hard
drive. It happens. Thankfully I have excellent software that can help
me diagnose issues as well as friends who can give me advice.

An aside to the current convo: when I have a car, I usually will get
gas at Sam's Club or Murphy USA. They're both the cheapest in town
and not too far away from me. Using Murphy USA's loyalty program, I
can often get a lower price than Sam's if I get enough gas for the
month. Usually between 10 cents to 20 cents cheaper than Sam's Club.

There is another program I am a member of for the local Shell stations
around here but they are usually rather pricey--sometimes as much as
50 cents higher than other places--so I don't use them.

There is a single Weigel's gas station in my area. They have decent
prices and offer non-ethanol gas for a slightly highet price.

As for groceries, I tend to watch ads online and go to multiple stores
to get what I need. Drives everyone else crazy so I haven't been able
to shop like that since I had a car.

I have a variety of discount grocers available to me. Sav-A-Lot, Ruler
(a Kroger brand), and 3 Aldi locations.

There's a regional grocery chain called Ingles that has a discount store
in Greeneville. Never been there but know where it's at. Big Lots
sometimes has good deals on canned stuff. There used to be a "scratch
and dent" grocery store here but it went under years ago, sadly.

Errrrmmmmm gasoline and water do NOT mix. No matter what the urban
legens say. Really.

They eventually got caught. I looked on Google Maps and that gas
station is still there thirty years later.

My local GFS is 8 miles acrosdsd town. And they have recently begun offering freshly cooked chicken, including U$3 rotisserie chickens from
4 PM until they close. I buy 'em 4 at a time, shred the meat, put the carcasses into a stock pot and the meat I don't use right away into sucky-bags for the freezer. Heck of a deal.

I'd do the same thing if it wasn't such a trip.

Yield: 16 Servings

1 1/2 Lb Loaf:; (1 Lb Loaf:)
1 1/8 c Buttermilk; To 1 1/4 C,
-(3/4 - 7/8 C)
3 c Bread Flour; (2 C)
1 1/2 ts Salt; (1 Tsp)

This is an outstanding bread! It has a delicate, cake-like texture
and combines the orange and caraway flavors which are popular in so
many Scandinavian breads. It's also good toasted.

Place all ingredients in bread pan, select a light crust setting, and
press "start".

After the baking cycle ends, remove bread from pan, place on cake
rack, and allow to cool 1 hour before slicing.

Too bad Menard's (lumber/home improvement) hasn't gotten south of
Kentucky yet. They often have food bargains on staple/non-perishable
item in bozes or cans.

Looking at t he weekly flyer for your local Ingles I see they have some reasonably decent prices - but definitely not "discount". And they have
a fuel rewards program.

Having a car is a huge advantage. If I didn't have the Beemer or my old
(now a memory) Foo-Rod Ranger I'd be stuck with Hy-Vee's delivery. That's
not to say it's a bad deal. If I buy U$25 worth of stuff - which ain't
hard to do at today's prices ... Hy-Vee will pick the order, lolad it in
my wheels or deliver it to my door for no more $$$. Tipping the driver
is extra.

Lowe's food stores is a sorta=kinda local to you chain being head quartered in Cigaretteville (Winston-Salem). Lowe's Home Improverment
is somewhat more to the west in Mooresville ... and has spread much further than the grocery stores/

We actually found a Lowe's (grocery) out in Tucumcari, NM. They said they'd no affiliation with the chain but we saw several items that had
the house brand name that the store uses so...........

You've mentioned that before. I believe (IIRC) the store owner's name
was Lowe and so long as they didn't try to duplicate the signage ot
the logotypes there was bugger-all that Lowe's corporate could do
about it.

Still, it was interesting to find a local to us store so far away from their concentration.

Once the sharks .... errrmmm lawyers had finished with it there was/is
a truce in place.

The regional chain is heaqdquartered in Littlefield, TX.

So we might find some more in our western wanderings.

They're in West Texas and South Texas and throughout New Mexico. The
company also operates stores in Colorado, Arizona and Kansas.

Title: Strip Steak Tacos
Categories: Beef, Bread, Fruits, Chilies, Citrus
Yield: 6 servings

MMMMM--------------------QUICK MANGO SALSA---------------------------
1 c Fresh mango
2 tb Chopped red onions
2 tb Chopped red bell pepper
1 tb Fresh cilantro
1 tb Fresh lime juice
1 tb Fresh jalapeno

Looks good but for the cilantro; that's not allowed in the house. (G)

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro but I do use it in some things or they simply don't taste "right". However, it's very easy to overload and
get that Ivory soap taste/feel. And one tablespoon of fresh is very minimal. Even chopped.

Steve can taste the "soap" in even small amounts so it's best left out
of our cooking. I'll tolerate some, but then reach a point where I
don't want any more. That point seems to be resetting lower, the older
I get.

Gotta cook to suit yourself.

Hi Sean,

Steve can taste the "soap" in even small amounts so it's best left out
of our cooking. I'll tolerate some, but then reach a point where I
don't want any more. That point seems to be resetting lower, the older
I get.

I love cilantro. I guess I am in the minority of people where
cilantro doesn't taste like soap. I especially like it in salsa.

There's a lot of you folks out there. I didn't mind it until we were
stationed in Hawaii. Our favorite Mexican restaurant was on the North
Shore; we'd go there and often I'd order a burro, easy on the cilantro.
I think the wait staff didn't convey the latter part to the kitchen; I'd
start eating it and after a few bites, start to pull out leaf after leaf
after leaf after leaf........of that stuff. Somehow they would get
Steve's "no cilantro" order correct.

Title: Corn, Black Bean and Rice Burritos
Categories: Vegetarian, Mexican, Tortillas, Mcrecipe
Yield: 4 Servings

That's another thing rarely in our house thanks to Steve's corn allergy.
I'll (rarely) buy an ear or two of fresh corn on the cob during the
summer but I don't like to eat it in front of Steve, knowing how much he
likes it (but not the migraine that follows). If I'm making my family
friendly chili for a pot luck, I'll put some corn in it, left overs are
either given away or taken home for me to eat.

Which we do. When we get a steak to grill, Steve will split it in half,
start my half a few minutes before putting his on the grill. Neither of
us like the shoe leather we grew up with but a rare (for him) to medium
(for me), seasoned and grilled just right is so good..........
