Sometimes you can't beat the originals...we are importing "old fashioned" coke (original; not corn syrup and tall recyclable glass bottles) from Mexico these days..

There's a place in Ft. Pierce that carries the original formula sodas. I know they're not good for ya but the taste is SO much better.

 

[GonePlaid]

I dunno about that. Vince might skip the ex and go straight for the second wife who won't do that. Or maybe he'll stop at a dog, a cat, and a pickup truck.

Even w/ a good topper, I don't trust a pickup for haulin' gear. I'll stick w/ my vans.

At tonight's gig I had enough room to play the'67 Bird. It's like hangin' w/ an old friend. Next gig it's back to the short scale. Crap.

Oh, and I stick with Fountain for tomato sauce, with Rosella as an acceptable backstop.

But not the ‘no salt’ or ‘low sugar’ versions, and I won’t buy the Ketchup. If I’m eating that stuff I may as well go all in.

I have a theory about"New Coke", which I know I'll never be able to prove. They knew they were gonna switch to corn syrup,so they came out w/ "new Coke". Nobody I know liked that crap. After almost everyone had consumed their supply of old(real)Coke,they admitted their"MISTAKE"and released the current Coke w/ corn syrup I think it may have been a clever marketing strategy,but if you can find a "sugared"Coke you immediately can tell the difference. BTW, I'm not a conspiracy theorist but they messed w/ my Coke! And leave my RC alone!

So, something I hadn't thought to write about earlier...

Yesterday evening I went to see Kim Mitchell performing locally.

For the non-Canadians, he is a well regarded talent around Canada and had some minor hits in US and Europe back in the 80s.

He put on a great show. He clearly still enjoys being on a stage playing for a crowd. And he played a lot of the old Max Webster favourites.

I'm in the crowd in this one. See if you can pick me out.

Never heard any of this in south Florida. Good stuff!

Well, the excitement(?)from the gig at an Elks club has worn off. Time to become horizontal and cease to function. Hasta la later!

I have Heinz Baked Beans, though not in those numbers. But I still mourn the PMU beans of my youth. They disappeared from supermarkets years ago now, amazingly Heinz cans in all the same sizes multiplied at about the same time.

PMU (Pick Me Up) was our choice in baked beans, tinned spaghetti and Worcestershire sauce. We used to buy 333 (Three Three’s) brand pickled and cocktail onions, and gherkins. But they are seldom seen these days.

@kat888 I guess Watties would have been the NZ fave? They are part of Heinz as well now I think

I think in the UK Heinz beans are the ones to go for, they're streets ahead of the rest, I'm not a bean eater but beans on toast is a nice change once in a while or beans with a good fry up breakfast but then I like the beans to have been reheated a couple of times to make them a little stodgy. Chasing food from my youth had become a bit of a favourite pastime for me at one time, the days of the corner shop when most of the food we ate was produced on farms where we knew the farmers and there was a baker just across the field filling the air every morning with the smell of fresh bread that we'd have for breakfast with real bacon dry cured at the local butchers. Food isn't what it used to be

Like with coke, the British stayed true to the original Heinz recipe so we now have to go to the British specialty/import store to get those..

It beats me why anyone in the states would want to buy British beans when you have such fantastic recipes over there, OK I accept they probably can't be found in a tin but hey, make a pan full to last a few days

That sounds good!

Don't laugh, they do let him out at weekends

Tinned beans are somewhat in my past. As @Christine says, better to make up a big batch of home cooked beans. Dried cannellini beans are the food of the gods and just the thing to go with Thunderbirds.

 

[Christine]

That sounds good!

Gone though all the same, now we have watery bacon that's paper thin and sliced bread with all the taste of a bowl of flour and water. We actually make our own bacon now using free range pork, so much better but bread is just too much hassle

Me Three!



That black... my word...!!!

But I must say that I had my head turned by a Goldtop @veebass

My spending is done now though. Well, for a good while anyway.

Funny you should mention it- my Goldtop had a good run today at an arvo pub gig.

My word it is a wonderful bass. I recommend them to anyone who likes a solid muscular rock tone.

The Epi VP TBird got the gig last night though. It is a weapon.
