Yes, it would be that spelling for the sausage type.  We get more philipeno
types (think a cross of Spanish and possibly a touch of greek with a faint
oriental attitude).

I'm kinda like Jim Wellers area.  We can both get an amazing assortment but
it's seasonal and some of the things you would think of as 'normal' just arent
here, yet we have stuff you dont see.

RH> Not a bad trade! 

Yes, except I had a hankering for them 'fake ribs'.  Oh well, the sliver thin
cut pork shoulder did well.

Lots of other things too.

Probably have.  Comes to mind now there's also the name 'smelt' and pretty much
the same thing.

When you are deep out at sea, now and again, your ship goes through a school of
them and you hear little 'pings' as they hit the sides of the ship if you are
low enough down and along the exterior bulkheads.  Now and again you may hear
a bigger 'whump' when the thing that was chasing them gets clumsy <g>.  Thats
where my line 'BeeBoppin to da beat of the Breem' comes from.

Well, I dont like those either but then I am not into sweets and my fats are
mostly natural ones.

RH> Garbage soup.  Or do you fancy it up - as Compost Soup?

Hehehe scrap soup we call it but yes, garbage can would be as good of a name. 
It's peelings you'd otherwise toss out (and i do after making a broth of
them).

For me that would be chiles.  Not a good thing.

The blender I use rarely and not all the stuff above was from me (I kinda
listed which were).  I added other stuff to the pile today like extra towels
(they may be a little ratty, but not too bad to use).  The loaner blender was
from another and a big unit that also does fancy stuff.  My own blender is a
baby unit just right for our needs when I need to puree a soup or Don wants to
make his 'sloppy joes'.
