If they have Red Lager on special they probably have some of the other 
varieties - I was planning on Honey Weiss, Berry Weiss, straight 
Leinies, and whatever else struck my eye.

I am not big on flavoured or sweet brewskis. But, of all the honeyed 
beers that I have tried over the years Leinenkugel has got it right. 
Most brewers hit you over the head with the sweet. Leinies give you a 
hint. Same with their Berry Weiss - well done.

What I was going to do was a mixed case. As I will have most of Thursday 
free, I'll bet I can score what is needed without driving clear back to 
Ohio or something.   Bv)=

Leinenkugel do advertise in Gourmet, after all.

      Title: Avocado & Tofu Salad
 Categories: Salads, Fruit, Citrus
      Yield: 4 servings
 
MMMMM-----------------------AVOCADO & TOFU----------------------------
      8 oz Extra-firm tofu
      2    Avocados; about 6-8 ounces
           - each
           Rice vinegar or lemon juice

MMMMM------------------------VINAIGRETTE-----------------------------
    1/4 c  Rice vinegar
      2 tb Lemon juice
      1 ts Asian fish sauce
    1/4 ts Finely grated peeled ginger;
           - to taste
    1/4 ts Minced garlic
      3 tb Olive oil
    1/2 ts Toasted sesame oil
           Coarse salt & fresh pepper
        pn Sugar; as needed
        ds Hot sauce (opt)

MMMMM---------------------------SALAD--------------------------------
      1 sm Head butter lettuce
    1/2 c  Slivered almonds; toasted
      1 tb Chopped herb like chives, or
           - an herb mixture using
           - chives
 
  This salad combines creamy, rich avocado and firm, protein-rich tofu.
  The tofu picks up the dressing's flavors, which can be varied with the
  use of walnut, macadamia, pecan or hazelnut oil and the selection of
  nut for garnish.
  
  Drain the tofu well, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Place in a colander
  and let drain for at least 30 minutes. Cut the avocados in half
  lengthwise, then pit and peel them. Use paper towels to wipe the
  outside of each half until it is smooth. (This removes the thin soft
  part of flesh that tends to disintegrate into the vinaigrette and
  slightly discolors the salad.) Brush a little vinegar or lemon juice
  on each avocado half, and set aside until ready to assemble the salad.
  
  For the dressing: Mix together the vinegar, lemon juice, fish sauce,
  ginger and garlic. Whisk in the olive oil and sesame oil. Season with
  salt and pepper. Taste the dressing. If it is too tart, add a pinch of
  sugar to balance the flavors. Add hot sauce, if using.
  
  For the salad: Transfer the tofu to a bowl and toss with a little of
  the vinaigrette. (You can do this step up to 1 hour ahead.) Cut the
  avocado into cubes the same size as the tofu. Gently mix the avocado
  and tofu with half of the vinaigrette. Add more dressing as needed;
  adjust seasoning. Use whole leaves of butter lettuce nestled inside
  each other to construct 4 bowls. Drizzle a little vinaigrette over
  the lettuce then spoon in the avocado-tofu mixture. Top with the
  almonds and herb garnish.
  
  Serves 4 as a salad course
