I've known a number of northerners moved to the Research

Good jobs there if you have the right skills set.

It's not all scientists and engineers; the whole system with
its university and institute-based infrastructure is a major
source of employment and is a prime mover in the recent boom
in your state's economy.

In the previous post to Nancy I guessed it might be a
conscious effort to crowd out competitors such as Lidl.

OTOH, Lidl seems to be making a big move to get themselves known, at
least in this area.

Its US headquarters is in NC.

Up here, the advertising focuses on a hypothetical shopping
cart whose comparison numbers attempt to show that going to
Weggie's costs less than patronizing the opposition. Of

Publix does that--has the 2 carts in the entry way.

So you know how true that procedure rings, not.

course, the products are hand-picked (and possibly the
prices rigged) to "prove" that.

Products are definatly hand picked; prices, I'm not sure how "rigged"
they can get since either store can initiate a "sale" to make you think
it's a low price. Some things stay on indefinate sales. (G)

And that's why (among other reasons) secret shoppers are
looked at so askance, as testimony here demonstrates.

True, but if help is rejected, there's not a lot of options open for

A lot of the time there's nothing to be done, but that's

For me A is a certainty, C a possibility. Don't worry; no
contagion is possible; the only thing that can happen would
be a bit of a higher chance of liver cancer, but I hope I
die of something else first, like old age.

You're working toward that end, as we all are.

Working toward and against it at the same time.

It may--if they don't cut the trees down to make more gardening

room.
That would be ironic, but a vegetable garden can be a
carbon sink as well.

Any veggies that wouldn't qualify? I don't know any.

Goes without saying, though there are some dishes where cilantro
is basically indispensable.

Those dishes are ones we avoid.

But this looks like one to be devoured just out of the oven hot. (G)

Not my thing. either, though I admit it looked okay.

In some circles I run in, forbidden. Speaking of no cilantro,
here's a recipe for kids and those who can't stand the stuff:

Hi Michael,

Concentrated Area of Relocated Yankees. I believe the town

was in > ML> > existance long before it was discovered by Yankees.

I've known a number of northerners moved to the Research
Triangle area.

Good jobs there if you have the right skills set.

It's not all scientists and engineers; the whole system with
its university and institute-based infrastructure is a major
source of employment and is a prime mover in the recent boom
in your state's economy.

Quite so; without that area, the state's economy wouldn't be what it is
now.

In the previous post to Nancy I guessed it might be a
conscious effort to crowd out competitors such as Lidl.

OTOH, Lidl seems to be making a big move to get themselves known, at least in this area.

Interesting, wonder why they picked WF for their first store. They
opened one in Raleigh several months later--you'ld think that one would
have been the first.

Up here, the advertising focuses on a hypothetical shopping
cart whose comparison numbers attempt to show that going to Weggie's costs less than patronizing the opposition. Of

I've never dug into the comparing.

That's another area I've not gotten into.

There are a good number of those. (G)

Something else we all attempt to one degree or another.

Depends on your point of view--you're not as much of a bread eater as we
are.

... Growing old is mandatory... growing up is optional.

here's a recipe for kids and those who can't stand the stuff:

Cut out the tomato and it would work for veggie haters in general. (G)
I'd want some avocado or similar to go along with it.
