What is a Zagnut bar.

I remember chocolate flavoured buttons with hundreds and thousands on them they were called rainbow drops if I remember correctly.

[GretchenM]

Here it is. I use it often.

[snugs]

Found it - I think you can buy them on line from the info I have just read.

I'm now embarrassed to say it doesn't hold all my seasonings. I have a low-sided box in the cupboard that has about 15 more, but some are ones I mix up ahead, such as Herbes de Provence, and Indian Spices (oh man is that second one ever good on seared and then oven-fried salmon!). I don't use all of the ones that came with the wooden spice rack.

That is a lovely looking kettle and wow what a clean hob you have on your stove how do you keep it so clean you must never boil over anything on it.

Rolls Royce/Bentley Brunch

Went with my friend Dick to his "club" meeting. Dick is a Toby/Gulfcoast6 "look alike".

LOTS of nice people & unbelievable cars.

Note the first one? Cool License plate? He is the Republican Chairman of one of our nearby counties. I emailed him a LOT of FR links. He did not know of us.. He does NOW! I hope he will register & participate.

next one is of my friend Dick & myself with his Bentley. I believe it is a 38. I am next shown with the oldest one there today & it was a 1911 Rolls Royce - Silver Ghost, I believe

Last one is of me with the Bentley. It was interesting to be a passenger on the DRIVER’s side & NO seatbelts. That felt VERY strange.

Only posting a couple pix.. I was in hog’s heaven there.. took over 300 pix!

Nicollo.. thought of you for many reasons this day…After the "show off the car/brunch" at the country club we went to one of the mans homes.. HE IS 83.. but looks 60.. has an unbelievable home & a garage that is cleaner than my kitchen ..well almost ANYTHING is cleaner than my kitchen…. But in it were about a dozen cars… I have lots of pix.. but according to my friend the price range for them is ¼ to 2 million dollars.

If you've ever had a Clark bar (a chocolate coating covering a peanut butter crunch), a Zagnut is the same thing, just that they replace the chocoalte coating with toasted coconut.

Zagnut

There is something very funny about a whole web page being devoted to a Zagnut candy bar lover who provides a candy wrapper scanned from June 2004 and gives space for comments.

Wow what wonderful cars I always love going to see the cars in the Vintage displays at local shows. I also like the steam engine section as well.

[Northern Yankee]

Thanks dearheart!

[GretchenM]

Very fine photos, Dolly. I especially like the last one, of you.

[DollyCali]

This is the gent who is 83 & IMO looks 60.. just to let you know I wasn't exaggerating. He walks with a firm stride, is not bent over, has good muscle tone & good skin.. Here is a pix with him with an award for his cars he won in Europe at age 31 & he said it was 52 years ago.

[DollyCali]

Hi Jay.. got any snow yet? flurries here the other day. check out the Bentley /rolls post(#266)

[snugs]

No but Cadbury do starbar which is compressed peanut butter with peanuts in it but not crunch with caramel coating and then chocolate on top I love those.

[GretchenM]

These are my friends.

I do work at keeping things from boiling or spilling over. When that doesn't work Fantastik and a quick swipe with the sponge usually do the rest. It's scouring the burner pans that I hate.

I will try to remember THIS when my acquaintances tell me I "need a life" & not to spend so much time w/politics!

[snugs]

Good old scotchbrite we use that at work

[snugs]

Your stove is the same make as mine Hotpoint.

[GretchenM]

Yes, but I guarantee you that yours is a much, much, much better model than mine.
