 ->  -> Remember we were talking expensive (and theoretically tasty) cheeses

 ->  RH> And knowing I'll never be able to afford it again.:-)
 -> Unless it gets put back on SELL-IT-NOW pricing... ;)  Wegmans Organic
 -> chicken and pork sausages are somewhat in that category... but

We do pretty well shopping on Friday early evening...  Things seem to
get marked down before the weekend...  :)

So as long as they aren't on a restricted diet, the packaged mixes (just
add water, or better yet, just microwave) can work out well for them...

 ->  -> Where was that one from...?  It does sound intriguingly interesting. 
 ->  RH> These are German.  They're pretty good.  Then again, anything
 ->  RH> dunked in dark chocolate is going to be pretty good.
 -> True.  :)   The description reminded me a bit of the chocolate backed
 -> digestives from England... they are a favorite here... ;)

 RH> Here too when I can find some.  Chocolate-dipped oatmeal cookies are
 RH> even better.

Yum... :)
 
 ->  -> Is that going to be real crab, or Krab...?  But you are correct, 
 ->  -> enough cheese can camoflauge almost anything...  :)
 ->  RH> Canned real crab.  The other stuff is tasteless fake fish.  It's
 ->  RH> protein, but not much more.
 -> Ah, that's good, then... :)  Real crab should make the mac&cheese pretty
 -> nice...  ;)  Krab can be partly real crab, but mostly white fish made to
 -> somewhat resemble... it can be ok in some settings, but not in the same
 -> category as real crab...  :)  

 RH> Krab is best reserved for kid food.  I ended up skipping it, which was
 RH> fine since we hae too much food as it was.  

Not even kids always like it...  :)  Nice to have the abundance, too... :)

 ->  -> Exactly...  once upon a time, one knew where the food came from, and
 ->  -> did a lot of that "gruesome" prep work without a second thought.. ;)
 ->  RH> It might be enough to make me into a vegetarian. :-)
 -> That's a lot of work at the source, too... ;)

 RH> True, but at least soybeans don't have stinky guts.

Just stinky pods...?   ;)
