 JK> Yes, that's the plan :)  The problem of course is that you can't

You did mention that they are thicker shelled so presumably might last
longer... so you could get them sooner... but of course, they'd not be
so fresh that way...  :) 

 JK> What I plan to do when we get a bit closer to the picnic is to call

That's nice to have... a working relationship with the vendors, not just
seeing them at the market once in a while..  :)

 JK> That's possible.. I've made it with plain white vinegar as well hehe

The bacon, along with the vinegar/sugar tang... :)

 JK> Yep.. I really used to love welch's white grape juice.. I haven't

 JK> Now I want to find it at our next trip to wegmans (g).  The other

Wegmans has a nice white grape juice, too.  Also a nice white
grape/peach blend... no apple there, either.. :)  It's one of the juices
I get when I'll be having a clear liquids diet in prep for a procedure.
It tastes good, so I don't mind that that's all I'm having..  ;)

 JK> thing I use as a sub for white wine (in order of perference (g) is
 JK> white wine vinegar diluted with a little water, or lemon juice. 

I can see how those would work too.  :)

True, but it's still something that could transmit (and transform
perhaps) genetically... 

We have a number of people in the family that have migraine problems...
not so much food allergies, except that I have one nephew with severe
nut allergies who has other food allergies as well.  My cousin's husband
had allergies to just about every food, he'd go in cycles of eating only
one or two foods for a month or so, and then they'd start to bother him,
too, so he'd trade off for something he hadn't had in a while, that was
ok again.  I think he may have finally gotten past that... it's been
quite a while..  :)
