Hi Ben,

RH> Other than water (still or sparkling), my
RH> choice of drink it either Diet Coke or Ale 8 Zero, a soda I found at one
RH> of our camper rallies in Kentucky some years ago.

 BC> This is the first time i have heard of Ale 8 Zero.
 BC> Is it gingery?

Lightly so. It's the diet version of Ale 8 1 (pronounced a late one in
parts of Kentucky). Makes for a nice change off from diet Coke.


RH> Taco Bell will satisfy a craving for something
RH> quick and kinda sorta but it ain't nothing like the real thing.

 BC> I totally agree.  There used to be another local Mexican fast food
 BC> chain called Taco Time and i thought it was a great deal better than
 BC> Taco Bell but unfortunately they went out of business.  These days
 BC> when eating out i'll go to a "California Style" tacqueria.  There's a
 BC> local chain i like called Muchas Gracias.  Some time ago they replaced
 BC> McDonald's inside of Walmart.

Sounds good. There's also Del Taco which we found in AZ, UT and NV, a
step above Taco Bell but who wants french fries with tacos? I would go
for something like nachos instead of the fries.

 BC> I can make decent Mexican food, so i'd just as soon eat in.

I make kinda sorta Mexican food, since Steve can't eat corn. We'll do
burritos or fajitas on flour (if we can find them, whole wheat)
tortillas. Last week we did deconstructed fajitas, the meat, pepper and
onions served over mixed rices with cheese, (plain) yogurt--instead of
sour cream--and salsa. It's a lot neater to eat than a tortilla with all
the fillings trying to spill out all over you. (G)
