Years ago I was in a sports store looking for a sand wedge for my
husband. It's a golf club, for those that don't know.

When I asked for help, the clerk asked me if the store looked like a
restaurant.
My next stop was the manager.

I think "sammich" may be regional or slang.

When I was in college in Maine, there was an enterprising guy who came
around the dorms about 10:00 (well, 10:00 my floor of my dorm) every
week night with a hamper of sandwiches and cold drinks. He announced
his presence by shouting down the corridor, "Sammy Man!" and that's how
we knew him. He had a pretty steep markup on those fairly slim sammies,
but some nights that thin layer of tuna-flavored mayo on Wonderbread
with one slim slice of iceberg lettuce tasted *so* good. Dinner was
from 4:45 to 6:00, and that left a long time until bedtime.

You may be right. The TV gal is from Rhode Island, IIRC. She uses the
term "sammy", too.

Down where I live in Mexico, Texas, they mostly eat stuff wrapped in
tortillas and call them "tacos" No hard shells. I think one has to go
to a national chain to find a sandwich, like a Denny's or Applebees.

We vacationed there when I was a girl. Went back a few years ago and
it's changed quite a bit since the Interstate made it easier to get
there than the endless trip on US 9.

Right now we are in Plymouth, MA for a couple of days of sightseeing.
Then on to Boston. We sold our motorhome and are traveling by car. DH
is doing so well even with the eating out. Very proud of him.

Yikes! I worked at a golf course and I do know what it is.

In fact the golf pro got quite a kick out of me when I was taking lessons.
One day the other students were running late so he decided to take me and
the other guy who was there and show us how to get out of the sand traps.
The two of us spent about an hour doing nothing but hitting from the trap.
I got very good at it. But do you think I could land in the trap when
playing golf? Noooooo.

We used to go to Schroon Lake. It was lovely there. Now it's full of
vacation condos. I swam the width of the lake when I was 11 with my dad
in a row boat next to me. If I tried that today, I'd get killed by a
motorboat of personal water craft.

I would have jumped ship because of my claustrophobia! We went on the
Mayflower II. That tiny ship was crowded. I'll stick to voyaging with
Royal Caribbean, thank you.

We went to Plimouth Plantation today. It was wonderful. Wasn't sure I'd
like it as we've been to many of those "Williamsburg Wannabees" in the
past, but Plimouth was really special. It also helped having read the
best-selling book "Mayflower" last summer.

Tomorrow we leave for Boston but we are staying with my cousin and they
don't get home from work until after 6 PM so we are stopping in Quincy
and the JFK library on the way. Everything is so close together in New
England!

> 1/4 cup Peanut butter ; - Reduced fat version is best

I accidentally bought a jar of reduced fat "peanut spread" and it's been
on my shelf for months as it didn't sound appetizing to me. It was the
last jar left yesterday, and I looked at it and noticed it said "60%
peanuts" on the front. I wondered what the heck the other 40% was...
even Jif and Skippy are primarily peanuts!

The main ingredient list is peanuts, corn syrup solids, soy protein,
sugar. In the 2% or less category, there's: salt, molasses,
hydrogenated vegetable oils, magensium oxide, ferric phosphate, zinc
oxide, niacinamide, copper sulfate, pyridoxine hydrochloride and folic acid.

So the other 40% has some vegetable protein but is mostly sugar, with
some minimal amount of trans fat, vitamins and minerals added.

This stuff comes in at 15g carb per 2 TB serving as opposed to 6g in
regular peanut butter or 5g in the natural stuff; that's pretty
significant to me as I'm unlikely to eat only 2 TB of peanut butter as a
serving anyways, a quarter jar is more likely!

The label says it's only 12g fat per serving as opposed to 16g in
regular peanut butter. I expect I could accomplish a similar fat
reduction just by pouring the oil off of the natural stuff.
