I do occasionally make salad dressings from scratch, but the ones at the
store are very good and very inexpensive and make _great_ quick
marinades.

I just objected to the way she came across. Really snotty like the rest
of us were not worthy of her royal presence if we _dared_ ta take a
short cut once in awhile!

The subject of canned soups only comes up once in awhile. I don't know

has no clu'.

Man, what an ugly way to introduce yourself!
