So maybe just smoke some Boston butts and have appropriate sides would
be more in the range of practicality for the size groups we've had the last few years. We've got the smoker; cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, hush puppies (or corn bread) and 'nanner puddin' for dessert.

That is about the only time we smoke things anymore. Even a single pork shoulder is way too much for us. We have some in the freezer that has
been there for a couple of years. I enjoy doing it, but reserve for
groups.

Hi Dale,

So maybe just smoke some Boston butts and have appropriate sides would
be more in the range of practicality for the size groups we've had the last few years. We've got the smoker; cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, hush puppies (or corn bread) and 'nanner puddin' for dessert.

That is about the only time we smoke things anymore. Even a single
pork shoulder is way too much for us. We have some in the freezer
that has
been there for a couple of years. I enjoy doing it, but reserve for groups.

We have some in our freezer also. There's an assortment of various
meats, some pre cooked, some easy do (like Italian sausage) in the freezer--some time in March, Steve will have surgery on his left thumb
(the one he wears the brace on) for the arthritis. We'll need easy to
fix meals with both of us somewhat handicapped. (G)

Since tomorrow is to be quite cold, we bought some cheese (Publix had a
sale) for Steve to put on the smoker. I think there are 3 or 4 types of
Cabot cheddar and some Swiss this time.

I hope that you have better luck than we once did. We bought a

I cut them into more manageable sizes and smoked them. When we did the
taste test, they all tasted like plastic. We'd used Safeway brand
cheeses before, but these were just awful. Dumped the whole lot and got cheeses from Wegman. Those turned out just fine.

This is just another example of Safeway going down hill. They have

orange marmalade that I (and Nancy) like. Gail was out of strawberry
and so got a jar of their ordinary preserves. It was not nearly as
good. The store manager says that they are replacing the Select with
something else, but we have not yet seen nor tasted it.

I'm not surprised on that point. Publix used to carry Bama brand
mayo--an all natural one. Went to get some the other day and found
another brand on the shelf in its place. Last year at the picnic, we
went in to the Wegman's in Canandaigua; I got some all natural Wegman's

good thing they're expanding locally. (G)

Tortilla Or Corn Chips

I got an air fryer for Christmas, and besides being awesome for making any frozen appetizer you'd make in the oven, but in half the time, I've had fun making my own corn and flour tortilla chips.

Flour tortilla chips are fragile, but with a much different flavor, and slightly fluffy.

Definitely worth a shot.

I got an air fryer for Christmas, and besides being awesome for making
any frozen appetizer you'd make in the oven, but in half the time, I've had fun making my own corn and flour tortilla chips.

We got one a little bit before that . My wife was looking at them on
Amazon, and getting information overload on sizes, materials etc. Some
sounded quite good until you read some of the negative reviews -- many
of which said something like "after a month the teflon coating started
peeling off". The prices were also all over the map, up to $300 or
more. Then a local store had a sale which offered a small model for
$49.99 and we scooped it up. It has done quite well for small things,
like tater tots, french fries, frozen fish portions. But to make
something like chicken parm, she had to do two batches -- and that is
not really ideal. Sooner or later a decent deal on a larger one will
happen and we will get that, and will be glad to have learned on this
smaller model. We think that the footprint size of the basket is more important than the quart measure. Having a higher container will not do
us as much good as having a larger diameter basket.

OK, today's N&O had a couple of articles about Wegman's today. One was basically "What's so great about Wegman's?', other was listing all the
other places that have committed to a spot in the plaza where the
Raleigh Wegman's is being built. Anything from a couple of work out
places to a spa to Starbucks to a Mediterranian fast casual rstaurant to
an eye doctor and others. Oh, and the Wegman's will include a Burger

I checked last Friday when we did our shopping... no Dundee's
ginger, but there was a different brand (which I'd bought
previously), Wilkin & Sons, from Tiptree UK... similar to
Dundee's, in a glass jar rather than the pottery one...

We'll have to give it a try. Have to remember to look for it
next time we're in Wegman's.

It is in the British foods section, at least in our store... :)

OK, today's N&O had a couple of articles about Wegman's today. One was basically "What's so great about Wegman's?', other was listing all the other places that have committed to a spot in the plaza where the
Raleigh Wegman's is being built. Anything from a couple of work out
places to a spa to Starbucks to a Mediterranian fast casual rstaurant
to an eye doctor and others.

Some relatively free advertising for them, ahead of their Grand
Opening... But as we well know, the hoopla is totally justified... (G)
Sounds like a few stores worth checking out in their plaza, too... :)

Oh, and the Wegman's will include a Burger Bar. Should be interesting.

That's one of their nice innovations... we've been to the one in the
Pittsford store a few times.... decent food, not too overpriced... and
the TV screens are showing food shows.... ;)

Saw surveyors out today in WF along the road where the Wegman's
is supposed to be built--don't know if they were surveying for
that or something else.

Coulda been for the Wegmans... :) Eventually things will be
happening there, too... :)

Sooner or later we'll see the signage, then construction, and
eventually a Grand Opening.

Yup.... :)

Now wondering if this one will be as big as the Raleigh one.

Guess you'll find out closer to the time.... The big fancy stores seem
to be what they are building nowadays, especially away from the home
market area.... ;)

Trying to build up a new (and then repeat) customer base? We already
know that they will be one of our regular shopping places. (G) Still
haven't seen the signage for the WF store yet, but they keep talking
about it. Also saw recently that they're going to build one in another
town in NC; I think that will make a total of 6 in the first venture
into the state.

It's part of their market plan, I guess... having something bigger and
better to compete in the new market, the better to draw in new
customers... and probably expecting any people that have moved into the
area from areas that already have a Wegmans (or who have shopped at one
when visiting those areas) to be overjoyed at finally having one
locally.... ;)

That sounds about like what Sallye was saying the plans were... I don't remember the details any more now.... and can't check with her... she's
retired from working at our Wegmans.... ;)
