I usually prefer the green in cooked stuff but I have some freeze dried red
ones that I am trying to use up. They work quite well in a red sauce
because they blend right in.

I have never tasted Ranch. Not that I could because it contains both eggs
and dairy. It just smells awful to me so I was never tempted. Never had
blue cheese either. Not even when I ate cheese. Angela likes them both but
I don't think the Ranch would be allowed on the South Beach diet. Perhaps
she could just use guacamole.

Oh joy! Another wacko storm rolling through here. This is the third time
we've had lightning and thunder this summer. But no hail this time. Just a
brief rain shower. I did lose my Internet briefly though.
