And leftovers for dinner.

Large casserole dish of scalloped potatoes in the oven and almost
done. Then I'll add some stroganoff noodles (Knorr's package)
cooked with extra broccoli crowns (frozen) and last half of a
large sweet potato that I had yesterday. No animals this time
although a small chicken thigh would be nice. Will add a piece or
two of buttered bread.

That's all for me today. I'm hanging up the internet.

I had a can of Orange Crush at about 4:00 AM and a Choco Pie at 8:00 AM. What I really want is some coffee.

My sister in law makes a salad with broccoli, cauliflower and onion that
is served cold and it is wonderful. And that is coming from someone who
would not eat either of them raw.

Yes, a weird dinner: potatoes plus prefab noodles plus... let me
think... what would go nice with that... I know, a large sweet potato!

Knorr Pasta Sides, Stroganoff, Fettuccini? Just your cup of tea, but
no chunks of feral dog, unfortunately:

"Enriched Macaroni Product [Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamin

Since I'm a Detroiter I grew up with Faygo. Their red
cream soda is called simply "redpop". Looks like the
"red" implies "strawberry". I liked it when I was a kid,
but it's much too sweet for me now. In fact, I stopped
drinking Coke a few years ago and when I last tried it,
it tasted just awful.

I have always felt Rock and Rye was Faygo's equivalent to a cream
soda. I prefer Faygo's cream to Dr.Brown's, just like I prefer
Vernor's over anyone else's ginger ale. Detroit does that.

Not much for soda any more in any flavor.

Isn't Vernor's Ginger Ale a Michigan "thing"...it is fairly widely distributed here in the Chicagoland area...

We had Thanksgiving at my SIL's in Michigan and stopped to get
soda to bring with the wine. No problem grabbing Cokes but no
ginger ale to be seen, so we asked at the counter.

The clerks didn't even know what ginger ale was, it was like we'd
asked for some exotic ingredient from Thailand. Finally one offered
We have Vernor's? and it was our turn to say What?

I'm pretty sure we found the only two American people who had never even
heard of ginger ale or Canada Dry.

Yep. Most people who grew up outside of Michigan hate it.
I think liking it depends on whether it was fed to you
in your baby bottle.

I've met a very few out-staters who've liked it. Very few.

Canada Dry is often kept separate from other sodas, near the
mixers like tonic and club soda.

It is available in a lot of places around here, but it is not very
popular. It's pretty sweet stuff.

I'm surprised they'd not heard of Canada Dry ginger ale as they
advertise nationally, not just regionally. Television and
billboards.

I would have expected everyone to be familiar with all those brands
aside from Vernors, being nationally distributed. I have never seen
Vernors here, never would have heard of it.

But those clerks didn't even know ginger ale, we got the blank
stare.

Soft drink preference vary from one region to another. Someone
mentioned in the thread about ginger ale being with mixers. While rye
and ginger is a popular drink here, it is also quite popular on its own.

Oddly enough we are able to get Big Red soda over here. Beats me how that happened. I guess they figure us to be just another Southern state. Ha ha. I really dig Big Blue myself.
