I've not had a Mickey D's hot chocolate for years. And it's easy
enough to make my own.
Title: Quick Hot Chocolate
1 1/2 c Water
3 oz Unsweetened baking chocolate
1/3 c White sugar
pn Salt

I doubt very much if the real Amish in Lancaster go
to town to buy packages of frozen spinach, envelopes of onion soup mix
No, they call up on their cell phones for Instacart delivery. Bv)=
Lint ... My dryer vents [get] an annual cleaning ... if it was
ignored for too long it would become a fire hazard.

5% "cash back"
those "rewards" are paid for by the processing fees that the
various companies charge the merchants to process credit card
purchases.
Many of the smaller restaurants that I *used* to visit have begin
charging a "convenience fee" of 4% to 5% for paying w/plastic.

I like to make a large batch of chocolate syrup periodically and keep
it handy: bring a mixture of equal parts by volume water, cocoa and
sugar to a boil, stirring constantly. Let cool and decant into a
lidded jar. Later on, small portions can be flavoured separately
with vanilla, mint or one of the brown liquors if desired.

Indeed. There was a house fire here last year from just that very
thing.

Peameal bacon is a regional Ontario thing; it's hard to find in
Alberta or up here.
Title: St. Augustine Breakfast Enchiladas
2 c Diced ham
They are all tasty choices but I think for an egg stuffed breakfast enchilada or burrito I'd go with ham and save the other things for
other dishes.

Some of my local cafes have jacked the price of a cuppa north of
U$2.50
And the fancy places have offerings over $6! I have one cup at home
and a second one at work. We keep good quality freshly ground coffee
at both places and never go to coffee shops. On the rare occasion
when I have a fine meal out at night I generally indulge in coffee
with a liqueur in lieu of dessert but I don't worry about the price
of the coffee then.
And coffee is increasing in price.
Yep. Brazil has rainfall problems this year and people in both China
and India have learned to like it. I suggest buying several pounds of whole beans before things get worse.

Title: Sausage & Shrimp Panzanella Skillet
RECIPE FROM: https://www.mrfood.com
Panzanella is a bread and fresh tomato salad. It doesn't have
sausage or seafood in it and it certainly is not fried in a skillet!
The original Mr. Food, Art Ginsburg, has passed away. I don't know
who is running that website but they sure have some goofy ideas.
Subj: credit cards
5% "cash back"
Your credit card companies sure do offer more incentives than ours.
The best I can do is get 2% towards flights (along with other travel perks) rather than just 1% but I'm tied to a single airline and the
card has an $80 per year fee attached to it.
those "rewards" are paid for by the processing fees that the
various companies charge the merchants to process credit card
purchases.
And ultimately by consumers who are all forced to pay jacked up
prices as a result.
Many of the smaller restaurants that I *used* to visit have begin
charging a "convenience fee" of 4% to 5% for paying w/plastic.
I don't blame the ones who are already on slim margins. But the
practice is illegal in Canada and rarely done here.

anything.

The common "wisdom" in this area is that a Mennonite is an Amish with
a telephone. And a Hutterite is an Amish with both a telephone and an automobile. Bv)=

A few years ago, Gail and I did a coach tour of the Ohio Amish country. The guide was very familar with the local Amish since she had been a driver for them for many years. She took us to different homes, and
let us know ahead of time what, if any, restrictions they had. The
range was extensive, going from "no photographs, traditional clothing"
to quite open, come in for dinner. Most of them were farmers and obviously fairly well off financially. Many of them had three houses
on their property. There was the main house for the family, a granny house for the retired grandparents, and a "case" house for "just in
case" functions such as a wedding or church meetings. Some had a telephone booth on the street, not connected to the house. I don't
think that any were connected to the power grid, although some had electric power from generators. We also visited a factory where farm equipment was made for the Amish, i.e. horse powered. They powered the factory with a couple of monster generators.

Reminds me of when Michael was visiting with us and we wanted to go to
an Ethiopian restaurant. He opened Trip Advisor (surprise since he has often denigrated them). When he came across a restaurant with a very
bad review which stated something like "we hated this place, it was crowded with people who did not speak English, and the food was too
spicy hot". He immediately said "that is where we are going". Name of the place was Lucy and we were all quite pleased with what we had.
