 JK> Yes, the yolks are very good in duck eggs noticeably (to me at least).
 JK> Creamier maybe?  I guess that makes sense as well given we know how

You'll need to get them close enough to the picnic not to eat them all
up, too, before we get there... ;)  Or exercise much will power... (G)

I've been avoiding even apple cider vinegar, on general principles... I
don't KNOW that it causes the problems, but I'd rather not find out the
hard way.  I think that the german potato salad I get canned uses
regular vinegar, not apple cider vinegar.
 
 >>> At least pears and grapes are ok,
 >>> and they make good substitutes for most things between them...
 >> hehe yes, non-obtrusive.. grapes are great that way, aren't they?
 > Grape juice is the second most common added juice...

 JK> Yes, you always see grape juice and pear juice listed in many juices.
 
Mostly the grape, if it isn't apple...  Sometimes there will be pear
along with the other juices, but not so often as the primary sweetening
juice... after all, it's more expensive than either apple or grape...

 JK> Bananas are safe for her so that's something (g).  She isn't supposed

 JK> bother me either..

At least she gets cherries.  :)

 JK> Yep.. His allergies were the worst I'd heard of when I was growing up,
 JK> until I had my daughter.. she got the worst of it. :(

I forget, are there allergies on Ron's side of the family, too?  That
could be how she got the double-whammy...  

 JK> Got it, thanks :)  Good to know we can use netmail should we need to
 JK> do so. 

Yup.  As long as Mike has TG set up, it's easy enough.  :)

ttyl       neb

... I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid you're just a mirage.
