Fewer of those here.. at least not that I've seen...

 NB>> I had a minor double-take there... we rarely get much (if any) rice

 NB>> If we do sit-down, yes, rice comes with the entrees... but I don't

Some sauces are more obviously sugary than others... and one can
minimize how much sauce one actually puts on the plate..  :)  I gave up
on the "duck sauce" after discovering that it usually was made with
applesauce... no wonder it was triggering the apple allergy..  ;0  I use
mustard instead, for noodles, or eggrolls, or for dipping the chicken
bits from sweet and sour chicken in (instead of using the red sauce).

 NB>> That sounds quite nice..  :)

 RH> It was; ever since I was a kid, I've enjoyed shrimp, scallops, fish,
 RH> and other seafood. Living on the coast of NC and GA, and in HI, it was
 RH> nice to get it fresh. We'd not had any seafood in a while so the
 RH> seafood delight was indeed, delightful.

I like seafood, too... and quite right, absence makes it even more
delightful when finally you get some...  :)
 
 RH>> Tonight we used up the last of the propane in this tank grilling
 RH>> chicken and eggplant for supper but we'll refill it--still some good
 RH>> grilling weather yet before it turns cold. (G)
 NB>> Probably a good two-three months for you...  ;)

 RH> At least a couple of months, depending on how mild/cold the winter
 RH> gets. Since we had no gas, we did an omelette for supper last night,
 RH> with fried green tomatoes and sausage patties on the side. The
 RH> tomatoes, sausage, yellow squash and red tomatoes (latter two, with
 RH> onion were part of filling) were all from the farmer's market.

Very nice.  :)

... Don't eat that. Studies prove it is hazardous to your health.
