 NB>> That looks like the right spelling... I've not really looked for
 NB>> them in a long while, so I don't know if they are still around...
 NB>> seems to me, though, that I've seen them relatively recently...
 NB>> maybe in one of the stores up nearer our camp....
 DS> I saw some cheese danish at the store the other day, but was short
 DS> on funds, and mainly looking for bread and lunch meat. Got 4 loaves of
 DS> bread for $1 each, and the "Buddig" brand lunch meat packs. 90
 DS> calories per pack, for under 70 cents each (bought 40 of them).

Is that 40 packs of lunch meat packs meant to be 4...?  I keep looking
at that to try to figure it out...   Or are they small packages...?

 DS> With 2 sandwiches at lunch, and 2 at dinner, it lasts me for 10 days.
 DS> Plus, I can do bread and butter for something else, until I can
 DS> grocery shop again in early April. But, my car is in the shop until
 DS> after April 3, so I'm stuck at home for 10 days.
 
Is that how long it'll take for the shop to be finished with it...?

 NB>> They've got various different coatings now, not just Teflon... I
 NB>> don't have any of them, though... I just use butter in my pan....

 DS> I used to...but it's too hard for me to stand in one spot for long
 DS> anymore.

I mostly don't stand at the stove any more... I can sit at the kitchen
table, close enough to the stove to reach over and grab the pan to do a
stir if needed, or just get up for a short time for a quick stir and
then sit again....

 NB>> Are you sure it wasn't lye soap....?

 DS> Might have been. When I worked at Burger King, we "soaked" the vent
 DS> hood screens in a lye based solution overnight, then rinsed them out
 DS> the next morning...for all the grease that had accumulated in them.
 DS> When I worked in silkscreen printing, to remove the "ghost image"
 DS> from a previous design, you had to use this lye based stuff...and you
 DS> had to have protective clothing on when using it.

Lye can be pretty corrosive... I think that the lye soap at least made
it safer to use... 
 
 NB>>... Don't insult the alligator until after you've crossed the river.

 DS> They can move pretty fast on land...but they're more at home in the
 DS> water. Their bite pressure is 4000 psi in closing their jaws, but
 DS> rather weak opening them.

All the more reason not to insult them...  period... <G>
