Exactly... these are mostly high, above line-of-sight, so less
distracting than they might otherwise be...  ;)

 RH>> reasonable carb level.
 NB>> That's what I figured... :)  Maybe we could try it out sometime
 NB>> you're in the area for long enough...  ;)

 RH> That's the $64. question--when will we be in the area long enough to

Dunno...  but we did manage two this last time...  ;)  Of course, you
were at Steve's sister's for over a week... :)
 
 RH>>> Could you get the zuchinni fries with the Tuscan seasoning?
 NB>>> That I don't know...  Probably depends on how much of the prep
 RH>> Doesn't hurt to ask.
 NB>> True... :)

 RH> Might be pleasantly surprised, or, the worst they could say is "no".

Indeed.  :)
 
 NB>>> actually gets that...  ;)  There's a lot of things that I might
 NB>>> want to try out for a next time...  ;)

As I said, especially after the first thing was good..  :)  They can
sound as appealing as they like, if the first choice was a major
disappointment, not likely one would take a chance again, unless someone
else talked them into going there again...  ;)

 RH>> Water free, with a slice of lemon? Otherwise, my usual Diet Coke
 RH>> or for Steve, unsweetened ice tea.
 NB>> Dunno about the slice of lemon... there's water available in the
 NB>> computerized Coke dispensers... they might have lemons available
 NB>> for the asking...

 RH> Usually lemon is available, if nowhere else, then in the kitchen.

That would be a decent possibility..  :)  As you said about the Tuscan
seasoning on the zucchini fries, worth an ask, worst thing they could
say is no...  ;)
 
 NB>>> as I said, was more of a relish... chopped onions in a sauce...
 NB>>> and since part of a sandwich, a little hard to be sure of the
 NB>>> taste, even when carefully deconstructed...  :)
 RH>> From your description, I'd say they used a lighter grade of maple
 RH>> syrup. The darker (some think they're lesser) grades have more
 RH>> lasting flavor. They're not a lesser grade, just not as pretty as
 RH>> the light amber.
 NB>> I'd like to think they used real maple syrup in the jam...  :)  It
 NB>> was a lighter color, so, yes, likely a lighter grade of syrup as
 NB>> long as it was indeed syrup...  :)

 RH> Have to ask, on your next visit.
 
If I remember... :)
