McDonaldses that don't look like McDonaldses
Hilton Head Island is a master of disguising the outside of fast food
places so they don't look like what's seen off island.
I've seen several such attempts, like the one with the
blue arches (in or around Sedona, I think) and what was
at one time reputed to be the only one in the world
with no arches at all (I forget where).

The one in Whistler Village, which has really tight architectural controls, has a relatively modest little arch (about 24 inches
high) on its fairly discrete signage on the side of the building
which blends in with all the other buildings on the street. You can
see it on Google Streetscape: 4370 Lorimer Rd, Whistler, B.C.

Actually, the Sedona arch is said to be turquoise, although the text
about it uses the word blue. Gail noticed it when we drove by on a
coach tour several years ago.

That sounds pretty much like the McDonalds near us. Look up 5495
Harpers Farm road. The M in McDonalds is a small arch. There is also
a slightly bigger arch in the window, but the typical large arch
outside is not there. Our town (Columbia) has restrictions about what signs can be allowed.
This recipe calls for boneless chicken breasts. It might also be quite good with boneless chicken thighs or duck breasts.

Especially at 5495 Harpers Farm. That's an office building. I think
you might have fat fingered the address. I don't often catch you out on numbers. Bing found the McD's for me at 5485 - at the end of a strip
of various commercial enterprises. Bv)=

It would go well with thighs. It's been a bit since I've gone duck
hunting so I can't comment there. Why use "cooking sherry"? Why not
honest wine?

The sherry that we use is drinking sherry. I think that the reason for various "cooking" wines is that they are loaded with salt so that they don't turn to vinegar or worse. OTOH, our drinking sherry does just
fine sitting on the hall closet shelf for quite a long time. And it is not adultrated with salt. I expect that most people using that recipe would probably use the same sort of sherry that we have.
Let me thank you publically for arranging for that bulk magnetic eraser which turned up on our door step. I have yet to put it into use, but
will soon. After all, the disks I need to deguass have been sitting around for five to ten years waiting for me to get a round tuit.
I'd never thought of putting basil into our mashed potatoes, but it
sounds good. I'm not as certain about the use of olive oil instead of milk though.

I *think* that "cooking" wines are a hold-over from the Volstead Act
days - so adulterated with salt as to be non-potable and therefore
legal to sell without ticking off Elliot Ness and Carrie Nation.

Another feature of cooking wines, related to your statement, is that
they can be sold in Maryland grocery stores -- whereas drinkable wines cannot be sold there (only in stores dedicated to alcoholic beverages).

Tennessee recently allowed wine to be sold in grocery
stores and created a law
that allows liquor stores to be open on Sundays. That's
strange to see in the
land of the blue laws.
