Hi Dave,


 RH> No, it's generally a supermarket or health food store. (G)

 DD> That 'splains that. I haven't looked for Zevia at either of those.

 RH> We found it in a 'regular" supermarket in AZ; I think Harris Teeter
 RH> sells it also. Just keep your eyes open when you go down the soda
 RH> aisle.

 DD> I am reasonably happy with my Coke Zero - so, other than trying a test
 DD> sample to see what it's all about ......

OK, but just letting you know of an alternative on the market, made with
stevia. Maybe some day you'll encounter a taste test station and get to
try it.

 RH> Cola wars from the 2 big guns but RC has a good sized following in its
 RH> own right.

 DD> Especially in the south where they call it "Ar Uh Cee Co Cola" .... at
 DD> least the southerners I know did/do.

 RH> Just "RC" is enough to describe it, anything else is co-cola.

 DD> It's just the "suthren" drawl that stretches the pronunciation of "R"
 DD> to two syllables that's unique. All the southerners I used to hang out
 DD> with (mostly in Tennessee) said the full "Ar Uh Cee Co Cola" and when
 DD> speaking of Coca Cola nearly always called it "dope" - stemming, I
 DD> suppose, from the original days when it truly had coca (cocaine) as
 DD> part of the formula.

Different parts of the south. It doesn't seem to be as stretched out
here. But yes, I've also read about the original Coke having cocaine in
it and being called "dope". That was before my time tho.


 DD> Around here (and perhaps nationwide) Hardee's and Burger King offer
 DD> Coke Zero. None of the McDonalds - but the soft drink offerings are a
 DD> franchisee choice so long as they are in the Coke family.

 RH> We most often go to C-F-A; they have Coke and Diet Coke, but not the
 RH> Zero. BK and Hardees's are lower down on the places we'd pick, so can't
 RH> speak for the local one's choices on drinks.

 DD> I went to Chick Fil A exactly one time - I had to be in the local mall
 DD> for something and they were handy. I didn't cry 15 years ago when they
 DD> folded up their tent and crept off into the gathering twilight.

They're still going strong here. PDQ is giving them a run for the money
here in WF; they're less than a mile apart.


 RH> We like them and what the founder & family stand for. Only complaint
 RH> (almost said beef) we've had with them is that they took the
 RH> carrot/raisin salad off the menu a couple of years ago.

 DD> I don't give two hoots in h3!! what the owners of any food
 DD> establishment stand for politically or religiously - so long as the
 DD> food is decent. I only went to Chick Fil A the one time as I deemed
 DD> the grub to be low average and not worth the trouble when there are so
 DD> many place with better food at the same price point. One of my

Your money, your choice. Same with us, we pay, we choose. And we think
C-F-A is better eating than some of the burger joints.

 DD> favourite casual restaurants (Sgt. Pepper's Cafe) is owned by a
 DD> Palestinian named Ziyad Samara. And other than twitting him about
 DD> being an Israeli (he is from Jerusalem) I have never enquired as to
 DD> his religion and whether worships (if he does) at a mosque or a
 DD> chapel.

I'd probably enjoy a meal there, especially if he cooks authentic to the
area where he came from.


 DD>       Title: Meurav Yerushalmi (Mixed meat, Jerusalem style)
 DD>  Categories: Meats, Israeli
 DD>       Yield: 1 Recipe

 DD> MMMMM----------------------------MEAT---------------------------------
 DD>            Spleen; [Tchol]
 DD>            Turkey's eggs;[Beitzey hodu]
 DD>            Liver; [Kaved]
 DD>            Egg yolks; [Helmonim]
 DD>            Hearts; [Levavot]
 DD>            Beef kidneys; [Klayot bakar]
 DD>            Chicken breasts; [Hazze off]
 DD>            Calve's hearts; [Lev egel]
 DD>            Flank steak; [Steak ayn]

Guess I'd have to go to a butcher to get all of these meats, if I really
wanted to try this.

 DD> MMMMM---------------------------SPICES--------------------------------
 DD>            Turmeric; [Kurkum]
 DD>            Cardamom; [Hel]
 DD>            Cloves; [Tziporen]
 DD>            Curry powder
 DD>            Salt & Black pepper
 DD>            Ground coriander; [Cusbara]
 DD>            Sumac
 DD>            Garlic
 DD>            Baharat; a spice mixture
 DD>            Cumin

OTOH, I've got just about all of these, I think all but the baharat, on
hand.

 DD> MMMMM--------------------ADDITIONAL STUFFING-------------------------
 DD>            Amba (mango chutney) - NOT
 DD>            - the sweet type!
 DD>            Fried onion
 DD>            Dill cucumbers
 DD>            Pickled hot peppers
 DD>            Radish slices

Don't have all of these but they're easier to get hold of than the
meats.


 DD> MMMMM-----------------------PUT IT ALL IN----------------------------
 DD>            Pita bread


Got some pitas in both the firdge and big freezer right now.
