DO THEY TAKE COUPONS?

Another news flash!

Eli's Manhattan has decided it isn't enough to charge five times the national average for a one pound bag of carrots.....which would be $4.50. Unless you're a cheap chump who schleps her way to Walmart or H.E.B. or somewhere else and pays $.79 for the same bag. No siree!

Eli's wants to take full advantage of the energy crisis and charge a surcharge on top of their already high prices.

Now, I don't shop in gourmet markets because there aren't any in Central Texas Walmart has a Gourmet Half-Aisle. It has all the fancy pickles and mustard and maybe some artichoke hearts floating in marmalade.

I know I would never pay $150.00 for this breakfast basket, even if they threw in a couple extra croissants. Now add the energy surcharge...BINGO! $152.70.

I love good bread....fresh bread, with some weight to it and lots of fiber and never white. But would I pay $55. for four one lb. loaves? Don't forget the energy surcharge.

A seven lb ham is $95.

How about one lb of hand dipped chocolate shortbread cookies....only $45.

So please Mr. Eli's.....why the greed? I would guess you already make a nice hefty profit. You will never make up the loss in revenue that your former customers have taken elsewhere because of your stinking 1.8% energy surcharge.

Does anyone know of anyone who shops at Eli's? Still?

I'LL HAVE THAT ON RYE, please!

And my readers say, who cares? Well, Believe it or not? She cares.
It's simple,I love all bread, except the white fluffy stuff that taste like glue is made from synthetic foam-like stuff. One of my all time favorite breads is Rye Bread...more specifically, Jewish Rye. So does this guy.........
because in his day, he was a goofy loon popular comedian who loved his sandwich on Jewish Rye at this restaurant. Sorry to say, I live in a town in Central Texas that has one grocery chain called H.E.B., which stands for Her Enormous Butt. They are always out of rye bread of any kind........but fear not, concerned readers, WallyWorld carries rye bread, a variety of two kinds.
Experts say Russian Rye is darker because they put more molasses or cocoa in it, and who am I to trust my lying eyes? There are even more rye breads......everyone lays claim to one. Swedish Rye is sometimes referred to as Limpa.It's not sold in loaves, instead the Swedish prefer to just serve it up in their usual high fashion like this.

OK, so now that I've totally bored all my readers, you are now excused to enjoy some Rye of your own liking. If you want.
