Mom always bought Velveeta for her Mac & Cheese, even when we lived in New
Jersey. Rotel, no, but then she didn't make dip and probably couldn't think
of any reason to purchase it..

Not fast.

That stuff causes you to bleed to death at a later date.

Takes most rats here about 5 days to start dying once they have consumed
it.

The topic of discussion was the availability of Rotel Tomatoes, not
about Velveeta. I'm sure Velveeta has always been pretty easy to find
anyplace in the US?

I was trying to recall before you wrote this that when we (tried) to smoke
corn silk, it was rolled up in something, was it the corn husks that we
rolled it up in? I don't remember. But it did not become any kind of
habit -- once was enough.

Nicotine in it? I have no idea. But some would try it if left to needing a
smoke, I'll bet.

My cousins, Patsy & JonBenet.
Patsy, as you perhaps recall was Miss WV, so I suppose that is the main
reason to get JonBenet involved, but I don't know.

Sorry, but baby beauty contests are a pet peeve of mine.

And the fact that all the pics that I saw of that poor little girl
showed her wearing more makeup than most adults wear!

She was only 5.

Little girls should be allowed to be little girls, not dressup dolls!
That whole situation was so wrong...

Her mother should have been horsewhipped.

Ps, Dee Dee, I did not know you had a cousin that was Miss WV, nor a
cousin named the same as the murdered child...

for what it's worth, rotel can be found in maryland (or at least the

rotel is a lot cheaper, unless you're getting really cruddy salsa.

here's some dope on ro*tel:

evidently it's produced by con-agra, so i would guess that effectively
it's everywhere.

It's not bad at all. To me, the Velveeta and canned chili is even
better. Someone brought in a crockpot full of that to the holiday feed
last year, along with some of the scooper corn chips, and people were
snarfing it down. Me included.

Rotel and cream cheese is better...

Heh :-)

I've heard it said that it's hard to figure out whether Romney is
pro-choice, or Mr Multiple Choice, depending on which group of supporters
he's courting at the moment.

If you every buy tamales that are too hot to eat, you can make a dip,
using chopped up tamales, Velveeta and a couple of cans of diced
tomatoes. People seem to love it, but the only time I made it, was when
the tamales were too hot to eat.

35 yrs ago as a kid my mom bought Rotel at Giant in Maryland. I don't
recall many Hispanic folks then but... I could have easily missed it?

Not unlike trying to keep up with Hillary's religion or sports team
preferences? LOL

I would never vote for anyone who confessed to actually following sports
enough to have a favorite team. It's an indication of a lazy mind.

Patsy and her child JonBenet are both my cousins. I didn't know either one
of them. I've only got information about them from other cousins who do.

I was giving what I thought was the reason that I thought JonBenet was
doing it, and that was because her mother was Miss WV and probably liked it
and wanted the same attention for her child, and probably for herself as
well. I think most people agree with your point of view.

This sounds a little ***. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm wondering if the guy that was found in the restroom touching his twinkie
toes with the cop's twinkie toes and is in big trouble -- is this illegal?
I don't know if he was on government time, but evidently it is not a crime
to do sexual acts on government time.

But is the mere fact that he was touching toes, illegal? Or even, is it
illegal if he was actually "doin' it"? I didn't think doing a *** thing was
a crime.
Does anyone know?

As far as I got with him was, he's a Republican, so I am delighted that he
is being humiliated. Not my finest moment, but I am still avenging Bill.

For some reason, the episodes of "No Reservations" where Bourdain
travels to distant places -- especially Asian countries -- are
fantastic; while the US-based ones are often uninteresting. Well, the
Seattle & Portland one was good. But the LA one? I love LA and I
hated that episode. I didn't like the Texas/Mexico one either. I
hated Las Vegas, and the Cleveland episode seemed uninspired too.
Women might find Ruhlman attractive, and he's written some respected
books, but he's not interesting on the camera to me at all.
