As far as the Club goes, I've pretty much decided, except for an

Buying a bottle of wine or two each month, it wouldn't take much to use
up that assessment. I'd be stashing away wine to cook with.

Yep And if you advertise your wine cellar, imagine all the visitors you
can expect ;-)

I don't get the association between club meals and a Kohls wine
rack... I'm sure you can buy all those wines for less than half the
Club price at a local package store... yeah, like you'll be stashing
away all that wine for cooking. hehe

The only association is I'd be buying wine towards the assessment and
would need a way to store it.

The Kohl's wine rack was merely an example I found online. I've never
shopped at Khol's. It wasn't an endorsement. That one looked rather
sturdy.

>I'm sure you can buy all those wines for less than half the

Package store? Wow. Sorry, no package stores around here.

Yes, I could buy the wine for less. But then I'd still owe the Club
money for the dining assessment. You really don't grasp this, do you?

Hehe yourself. I like to cook with wine. The idea of having wine
stashed on a rack which also helps me meet the dining assessment is a
good thing.

Exactly, and let's face it, if you don't spend that assessment on something,
it is money lost to you! At least this way you are seeing something for it.

You could even turn it into a piece of furniture, like an end table by

Hmmm be interesting to know just how expensive. If you could afford it, it
is a nice piece of furniture and you can get plenty in it.

Except if you are storing wine, putting it in your living space is the LAST
thing you'd want to do. Wine should be stored in stable temperature and cool
conditions at around 14C.

Did they happen to mention what 'choice of side' was on offer (and if
said 'side' might have contained truffles or caviar - or some such)?

I ask this because my two children made 9 grilled ham, cheese *and* tomato
sandwiches today for the family (all of which were served on wheat bread)
- and the ingredients cost USD7.28

LOL No truffles or caviar.

Sandwiches are usually served with russet or sweet potato "french
fries". The problem is, their "fries" are awful.

Why does that not surprise me? <g>

But talking about fries - I'm fairly sure (our local) McDonald's potato
fries must be preserved/processed with formaldehyde - or something really
close...

I came to this conclusion because my son sometimes goes to one of the McDs
outlets here and buys a burger and fries for lunch... And one time - when
he was doing his weekly cleaning out of his car - he found a half a packet
of fries he didn't finish under his seat (guess it slipped down there
somehow and must have been there for at least three or four days...)

Anyway, he came to show these fries to me (shaking his head in amazement)
because there was no mold and/or other 'furry' stuff growing on them; in
fact they didn't look (or smell) any different from when one buys them
'fresh'. I guess I'm a sucker for punishment, because I still buy and eat
them sometimes myself. ;-)

I like their fries, but I stopped order their milkshakes the day I
didn't finish one and a few hours later (sitting at room temperature)
it looked exactly the same.

The fries are good, but those horrible "shakes" are *not* milkshakes.
They don't call them milkshakes. Carl's Jr. (Hardee's) sells milk
shakes. McD's, BK and Wendy's do not.

No, unfortunately - my daughter planted some tomatoes, but the birds got
to them before they were fully ripe - sigh. However we can buy decent
tomatoes (grown locally) at very reasonable prices. The potatoes and
'mielies' (corn) she planted are coming along nicely, so I'm looking
forward to eating those <g>
