===================
Hi Dave,


RH>  DD> chips --- all from Pennsylvania. And, truth be told, I'd have
RH>  DD> to try some Utz again just to be sure that time and distance
RH>  DD> haven't caused my rememberey to gild the lily, as it were.

RH> Could be time and distance has skewed your memory. It's a common
RH> enough happening. Remember all the sugar sweetened Kool Ade you
RH> drank as a kid? Would you drink it now? Probably not, as your tastes
RH> have grown beyond that but you've got fond memories of it.

 DD> Actually the only version of that which I like was the "Bug Juice" we
 DD> got at sleep-away camp

I drank it, in various iterations, at home and camp--both as a camper as
a kid and the various camps I worked at over the years. Never was
impressed with it. My folks tended to get the Fla-vor-ade that was a
nickelper pack instead of paying a dime per pack for Kool Ade. Always
tasted like colored sugar water with a nondescript flavor, IMO.

RH> RH> But they're not as sweet as a sweet potato, thankfully. I can
RH> RH> eat carrots but I can't eat sweet potatoes.

RH>  DD> Read more at http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com

RH>  DD> Some things are apparent to me from this - raw for raw there is
RH>  DD> not a lot of difference (.5%) between carrots and sweet
RH>  DD> potatoes. And carrots lose sugar when cooked whilst sweet
RH>  DD> potatoes seemingly gain sugar - by a substantial percentage.
RH>  DD> And I (in my mind anyway) had made the common
RH>  DD> error of many in confusing yams and sweet potatoes - hence the
RH>  DD> cites for yams - which are almost devoid of sugar.

RH> I generally buy the sweet potatoes for Steve, regular for me and
RH> carrots for both of us. The bulk of those are eaten raw, unless I'm
RH> making beef stew or something like that. They also get cut up into
RH> pea soup if I've got any hanging around.

 DD> I put carrot in chicken soup, bean soup, and stews of nearly any meat.
 DD> Seldom make split pea soup these days - but, I've not used carrot when
 DD> I did make it. Just the split peas and a smoked hock or pig foot.

I put them in other soups too, and use the somewhat over the hill ones
when I make veggie stock. Got a couple of bags of that kind of veggie in
the freezer so guess I ought to make more stock. A couple of years ago
when I was making some, Steve thought I was making soup--until he saw
the veggies--but it smelled that good. (G)
