I tend to do the same thing, unless I hit something interesting.  My father
trained me well.:-)

Oh well.  Fast food Mickey D's style isn't that great for anyone anyway.

-> But at least they got supplies (sort of regularly). I've told you about

Sort of.  They ate a lot of horse, and once memorably got a batch of
nothing but flour, oil, and powdered sugar.  Fortunately grandpa was a
baker before he was a dogface. Cruellers here we come!

the salads look better than they taste.

I think it's controlled from New Jersey, so fat chance ... and people buy
